Can anyone recommend a pair of padded bibs without straps? I own a couple of these by Pearl Izumi, and they're great for the price, but I wanted to mix it up. Bonus points for colorful and with pockets! Also, less than $100 would be nice.
Edit: any recommendation for padded shorts in the fashion of the link provided

They are called padded shorts
If they are sans straps, then by definition, they are NOT bibs…
So bibs by definition have straps. Is there a reason you’re avoiding them? I got into bib shorts last year after fifteen years of cycling and I gotta say, the difference is night and day. I only wear my old waist shorts for indoor cycling now because the bibs are just so much better in every way
Anyway, if you’re looking for low cost, decent quality you may want to check out decathlon and neopro- I have a pair of decathlon bibs (they run very small, btw) and a couple of guys I ride with swear by the neopros for a low cost option
For performance I have various x-bionic padded shorts and leggings (best kit ever) and my fall back for any serious and/or long cycling activity.
Endura – also good and value for money and perfectly fine for regular wear.
I have bibs too but sometimes fancy stuff without the straps but I’ve not managed to find any padded cycling shorts that are in any way funky or colourful.
I also poo often when on rides
Check out Canari. They have some loud designs, chamois is pretty good for the price.
