I wish bib tights were this good and this cheap when I first started cycling - these Christmas deals can get you set for winter from as little as $87 / £30

Even as the cold starts to bite, there are still some great deals on bib tights hanging around - if you know where to look

I remember my first pair of bib tights. Made by a now defunct Italian brand, they were a basic affair made from a thin Roubaix fleece. Chamois pad free and with no discernible details they made me look more mime artist than cyclist. And they weren't even cheap.

Fortunately things have moved on considerably in the last thirty years and there are now bib tights for varying conditions and for different riders. Typically this means they have become pretty expensive, with even many entry level tights north of $/£100. However, the Christmas sales annually serve up some good deals - and this year is no different.
