GORE WEARGOREWEAR C5 Opti Bib Shorts+

Great product at the price point. Very comfortable and fits well as per size chart.

Super comfortable and a good fit , I’m a 33 waist and brought a large which is spot on .

Had an eye on these 4 a while, the C5 kept me thinking about them, so with cold weather now upon us, I went for it. Did not fully appreciate they were C5 around the groin area only. OK, but I was miffed to discover the sml C5 area was on a pair of shorts made with pretty thin panels everywhere else. In a more detailed review it even says suited for warm weather !!! I don't get this marriage and might of researched other shorts 1st had I known. So in use today for 3 hrs total ride, with 40mins of stops (outside) & 38miles. Very comfortable pad, a bit tight, probably could of done with XL as I'm 36-38, but I got L as I didn't want loose leg ends for not having xl iron thighs ! The C5 worked a treat, wind was gusty was constant and very cold in open areas, NO CHILLY WILLY ! Temp was around 10 - 12° C with 10- 15mph N.E. wind. I love the white lines & brand marking on leg ends, looks really cool imo. So VERY comfy straps, & pad, tight fit (on me) great C5 groin section, can't fault them at all, except the otherwise thin panels, I did notice there thinness as ride went on & cold started to bite. Still confused at why C5 isn't on a dble skinned pair of shorts suited to cold weather riding, a GORE Mystery I guess. Value 4 £..YES as they were 45% off here on Amazon

Look Great Wash Great Pad is comfortable. Quality bib shorts

Brilliant bib shorts.they fit great and true to size highly recommend don't bother looking elsewhere.

Very high standard of padding making these shorts very comfortable. Sizing guide followed but shorts are a little tight although usable.

I really like gore wear, great quality and designFit as shown.maybe a little dearer but rather have then other brands

look good and feel nice.the pad is good.decent fit.the material is good and gives slight compression on legs.But the straps are poor and simply roll into strings although they ae not uncomfortable.The big problem is that the leg gripers are finished/joined at the rear by a reinforced reflective strip which digs into the back of my knees - can't ride for more than hour in these.
