New BIBS needed

[DamienCBR]

I am sure this come up often but the PH search does not seem to work for me.
I am currently using the mid range BTWIN BIBS and they are great for around 3hrs in the saddle. I looked at their top range ones the other day and was not fussed with the fitting of them so will be going to Evans tomorrow to try some different ones on.

I have a sportive coming up that is 70 miles and plan on doing my first 100 miler this year so want something that is going to allows me to be in the saddle for 4 and 5+ hrs and still be comfy at the end.

I would rather not spend stupid money something around £50-£70 would be OK, however if i need to spend £100 i guess i will have to so that i am comfy.

Suggestions please and why.

Thanks

I have Altura Night Vision bibs and they have been fine. They are well priced at around £50 to £60 and you can get them from Evans. They also have big reflective panels too

Mine are around 5 months old and have been washed several times as well as being soaked on a few unplanned wet rides and they are still looking good. Sizing is reasonable too.

I can reccomend endura equipe bibs for value and comfort. Almost as good as my assos!

Did not like the Altura,

tried on some Hincapie that appeared very comfy and they were on offer.

Any comments on Hincapie BIBS?

What are they like with regards to sizing?
Gore I was XL
Castelli XL I could no get on
Hincapie XL was too big round the legs. L was a great fit.

I'd also be interested to know this, as I am looking at buying a pair too.
