Long cycling shorts

Brian said:

Had a trip into town today looking to get a pair of over the knee
length cycling shorts (non bib!) to cover my knobblie knees.

Seems to be rather difficult to get such a thing.

Any suggestions?

Buy tights instead? I've never seen the point in 3/4 length tights -- why
not cover your calves? They get cold too!

Endura 3/4 length

Also in bib version, which would be better.

Nah bib longs seem OK, it's the ***shorts that bring stones.

They're called knickers. Bet you won't ask for them now.

perhaps if you like to keep your knees warm but you overheat in tights?
Or you just like the look? Evans had one or two options in stock last
time I looked

I've got 2 pairs.
These are really good quality, and as such, I dont like wearing them in
case I ruin them! :

And these are really good, and have lasted 2 years now, with regualr use
in cyclo-cross races in really cold weather:
