Men's Bike Shorts
My husband asked me to get him a couple pair of bike shorts. No bibs. He rides a road bike and rides a lot. Who has a favorite? Thanks

Mainly for the great seat pad, the Castelli Free Aero Race shorts, but they are expensive and you need to size up.

Why wouldn't you ask what he wants? He asked for shorts, so he knows he's getting shorts, so surprise out the window. Just ask what he wants then.

Pearl Izumi Quests have worked fine for me. They are cheap and available everywhere.

Depends on your budget of course. If money was no object I'd buy myself Assos. If you can't find a sale they are stupid expensive. Others like Castelli, Capo, Pearl Izumi, etc. are quite nice. But, as others have suggested it really depends on what fits him best.

FWIW I have Assos bibs in black and a pair in white. Both excellent. Although white does get.....attention.

Get him something different. Maybe a pair of white shorts.
