Endura FS260-Pro Thermo bib shorts review: A useful addition for shoulder season that won’t break the bank

I have been an evangelist for some time for winter cycling shorts. Yes, the best winter bib tights will see you in better stead through those really cold days, but in the age of indoor training, if you’re only occasionally heading out in really bad weather you might find you get more use out of some thermal shorts, paired when necessary with a set of the best cycling leg warmers. 

While I have been known to wear them in deepest winter, I find winter shorts come into their own in spring and fall, where they help keep the chill off without running the risk of overheating. They are also particularly good for gravel riding, as it’s either your bare legs (if you’re hard) or your usually cheaper leg warmers (if you’re like me) taking the brunt of the winter muck and slop.
