I waiting for a new pair of bib shorts to arrive.
One thing indoor riding has made me do is research/review my bibshorts which has made what I wear and when on the Turbo quite specific.

Mr Farg has the LeCol indoor cycling top - its just basically mesh - and he loves it. I wear a lightweight vest/tank top and ordinary bike shorts.
what's different about specialist turbo shorts then ?

Le Col indoor kit price is relative if you are already prepared to pay over 100 quid for bibs. However I don't think I need special indoor kit.
I have 3 fans and a solid set up so think about bib shorts I would wear outside.
I have 3 brands for shorts that seem to have moved above the rest.
Ekoi - really nice to wear and comfy inside or outside, my preferred full kit set up for riding outside, they do a lot of ORANGE. Number 3 bibs indoors as I want them to make it to outdoor season.
KomRaid - I did a race for them and they supplied 2 sets of kit. The bibs are really comfy and I have bought more pairs of shorts, the kit is a bit "trendy" for my tastes but very comfy and my first choice as general shorts for indoors
Assos - I have 2 pairs of road(new pair just arrived) and 1 pair of trail, noted that I was always going for these shorts as soon as a ride was above 3hours. The pad in the Assos stuff is off the chart good and I am only in the mid level stuff. My weekend warrior kit and 24hour race kit.
For all my efforts as finding orange kit one of the lessons I have learned is I prefer simple black shorts really.
No escaping you get what you pay for, I have some Rivelo, DHB, Madison, Castelli and Sportful(my favourite brand for winter bibs) and they are used when I really have to.
1. Castelli - still nice but only for an hour or 2
2. Sportful - pad never feels quite ride after an hour
3. Madison - desperate
4. Rivelo - panicking and standing a lot
5. DHB - oh shit better get the laundry on /how about testing the MTB bibs ??

ps. if you want nice matched kit for outside that you can add arm warmers, socks, gillet then look at Komraid. Comfy and well made just too lairy for me as day to day kit.
