Re: Replacement pad for bibs
Just an update on this. I had the pad stitched (£10) into the bib longs over the old pad which was no longer a pad. I've been out wearing the bibs and they are very comfortable, with a noticeable difference in padding support. So IMHO, a worthwhile renovation of the old bibs.

Replacement pad for bibs
I have recently purchased a replacement pad for my bib longs. Thought it might be useful to anyone looking for a replacement. It does have to be stitched in, so I'll be using a local tailoring shop to do that for me.
