Gore WEAR C5 Men's Cycling Bib Shorts with Seat Insert

Have used these for over a year now and can attest to their comfort and quality without question. I choose these over most of my other bibs, particularly for longer rides. They are comfortable even after 50 miles in the saddle, wick sweat and moisture well to keep me cool, and stay in place. Haven't noticed any sign of the chamois degrading or damaged stitching or anything. Reflective lettering and silicone are still like new after wearing these for thousands of miles. I am 6ft tall, 155lbs with a 32in waist and 34in inseam and the medium fits comfortably - I normally wear a medium bib and large or medium jersey in most brands. I would definitely buy again, and the only way to get better is to spend a lot more than these cost, so they are an excellent value. For durability comparison, I hand wash and flat dry all my bibs which definitely helps them last longer.

These are the first pair of cycling bibs that I have purchased. Up until this point I've only worn cycling shorts. If you are like me and curious about bibs, then I must tell you they are worth the investment. These bibs have been a huge comfort upgrade to my cycling. These bibs are very thin and lightweight. I found the pad in these to be extremely comfortable and well made. My first ride with these was 42 miles and they performed well. I liked them so much I ordered a second pair after my first ride with them. My only concern about these bibs is that the shoulder straps seem a little thin and if anything on these were to fail I suspect it would be in that area, but only time will tell how they hold up. If you are curious sizing - I am 5'9" and 215lbs and the XL was a perfect fit for me.

These have a nut cup! Absolutely some of the most comfortable bibs i have worn, yet! Nice, firm and comfortable padding for your sit bones on longer rides and the front has a soft fabric area for your sensitive parts to reduce numbness. I have tried both the large and XL versions, when un doubt, go for the size up but these fit pretty true to size. The large had enough stretch to fit my height and have only fit better as I lose weight.

Background - I'm 5'8" 147lbs. I ride 4-5k miles per year with longest ride ~65 miles. Pro's - Nice look (I really like the wide red "GORE" leg grippers although make it tough to pull on) - Built well with good stitching - Very stretchy/comfortable Con's - Almost to light-weight (material is very thin especially in the bib straps - Seat comfort - over the short haul (up to 30 miles) the comfort is pretty good. Beyond 30, not so good for me Bottom Line - these bibs look and feel good but not made for the long-hauls. For the $100 price I would expect better quality seat comfort.

Most importantly, unless your percentage of body fat is very low, size up one or even two sizes. Are these worth it? Well, the difference between the C3 and C5 is that the more expensive one has a thin layer of wind-resistant material in the crotch. You know, to avoid windchill on your junk. As far as that goes, the product description describes a “cup“ but there isn’t anything actually cup-like about it. In other words, no more support then any other bike shorts. So, I don’t think the product description oversells those features. The Gore website description is accurate that these are very formfitting. Also on that website, people complain about the seam in the back of the knee. Trying these on I can feel it too and understand how it might be annoying. It is a piece of plastic reflective tape, inside and out. But no one really wants a piece of plastic against the back of your knee while doing 90 rpms for hours. And reflective tape inside the shorts does no good, tho it is good to have on the outside. Lastly the “chamois” padding isn’t special. Actually it compresses easily between thumb and finger so it won’t do much for your weight on your sit bones. Final analysis: Not really better than my Przewalski bib shorts, and I could buy 3 or maybe 4 of those for the same price. These are not 3 or 4 times better quality.

These are wonderful bibs. They are comfortable and helped me do my longest ride yet, 200mi. Probably buy a couple more pair.

These fit great. I am 6'4" and 205 lbs and now have a new favorite cycling bib! They are a little lighter than my Giro pair and really comfortable. No issues during a metric century in the rain! Will buy another pair.

I like everything about them! They fit as expected, if you’re looking for a race fit all day comfort bib, this is a great deal when you can catch Amazon have them discounted elsewhere…

Gute Verarbeitung, qualitativ hochwertige Fahrradhose, mit flachen Nähten sodas nichts scheuert, Polsterung ist ausreichend dick und bequem auch für längere Fahrten auf dem Rennrad dazu ein ansprechendes Design. Habe sie gleich 2x mal in unterschiedlichen Farben gekauft. Gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis,

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

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.

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