GOREWEAR C5 Opti Bib Shorts+

Bought for my husband as a B/day present.He loved it,fits well,looks good on,quick delivery.

Comfortable

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

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

Sizing chart is spot on. These are very comfortable, wick sweat away quickly and wash easily. They will also dry overnight if wrung out well enough and hung near/on a radiator. Best cycling shorts I've found.

Look great but quality is poor. Not very comfortable on the legs compared to my Altura ones and the bib is loose and doesn’t hold them up. Shame as Gore stuff looks nice, just not that functional

For a tall slim built cyclist these bibshorts are gold dust....for the first time in 20 years I have a pair of shorts that fit me like a glove without the need to make them tighter at the bottom ,nothing worse than flapping at the grip strip.

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.

Gore Bike Wear tiene muy buena calidad en sus productos y este short no es la excepción. En lo personal creo que es un MUY buen short para entrenamiento, tiene un pad suficiente para recorridos de hasta 100 km. La lycra no ajusta como otras marcas más caras pero los grips del muslo hacen que se queden en su lugar sin darte cuenta y poder enfocarte en pedalear. La talla anunciada es americana, es decir, si usas L pide L

Un acierto. Cómodo y de calidad. Lo volveremos a comprar seguro. Ha sido ideal para salidas de más de tres horas.

Padi çok kaliteli. Kumaş kalitesi müthiş.

I am 5'11" 200 lbs muscular build and XL fits well. There is space for me in the bibs for sure, but they are still tight. I am happy with XL. I previously used Sugoi Large and they were a bit restricting. Quality and fabric and length and design are all spot on! I have a jacket form Gore and 3 pairs of short sleeve tops and they last forever and are VERY comfortable.
