I have to admit that before starting to write this review of the Sportful Fiandre Light NoRain bib shorts, I hadn’t looked at their price, but I feared the worst. After all, they’re comfortable, well-made bib shorts, with the added bonus of water-resistant protection, from a high-end Italian brand.

So when I found out that they were £80, I have to say that I was slightly taken aback. Yes that’s still a fair bit of money, but if you’re stingy when it comes to bib shorts, then you’ll only regret it at the end of your first long ride.
