Not sure I see that you say what you don't like. Other than they didn't fit, which just makes me think you needed a larger size.
PI shorts like many cycling clothes tend to run smaller than the S, M, L sizes for just regular clothes here in the USA. So that might be one issue for you if you are getting something so tight that it never will be comfortable.
However my son likes the bibs he gets from Primal. Perhaps you might like bibbs instead of shorts. I don't see much difference in either, but others do.
If your trip to Europe is soon, you better get something now and ride some long rides to find out if they don't rub you wrong before you get over there. Of course I'm sure they might have more shops with cycling clothing over there since in many parts of Europe cycling is more a thing.
