I haven't used either but pretty much half way between (in price) is castelli sorpasso. they are 125 at Merlin for black Friday. I bought a pair a few years ago and really like them. the pad is very good, for me at least, and they keep the worst of the weather out. I only wear them when it's properly cold. castelli bibs sizing is mad though; I'm scrawny but I think mine are an XL (I'm medium with most others)

I’m in the market for some new bib tights and could do with a little advice.
Rapha Classic tights fit the bill but even with the BF discount still come out a bit spendy for me at £165.
I have some older classic 3/4’s which I really like though. Great pad, really comfy, really warm and a good fit too.
On the other end of the price range the Galibier Mistral tights are £80 and seem to be highly rated in the reviews. They appear to offer good warmth and weather protection, plus I’m into the choice of a longer leg.
I’ve never tried Galibier but have a few mates who like it. I do have some DHB aeron tights though which I don’t rate, so if these are of similar quality then I’d give them a miss. Any thoughts on the pad?
Has anyone had experience of either or both?
It would be great to save some pennies but I’m keen for good quality and would go with Rapha if worth it.
