Again I picked the manufacturer Gore for my next pair of bib shorts. I don't normally spend a lot of money on shorts and wait until there is 40% off them at the end of season (which is now) but I bought these several months ago and could only get 15% off at the time as they had just come out. They match my back and white short sleeved Gore top a treat. I am not one for matching top / shorts etc but I thought why not. The material is very thin and breathable which probably means I will only wear them if we have any good weather during the summer months here in the UK. I have worn them on and off for the last couple of months and only use them on road rides. The material / construction is no good for any type of off roading may be apart from some wide gravel tracks where is no possibility of snagging them on branches / bushes etc. They are very comfortable to wear, I don't have any issues with the seat pad. The grippers on the legs are very deep and took a couple of rides to get used to but don't even notice them now. There is no slippage either. They wash and dry spot on and will hopefully last me for a good few years.
RRP £89.99 and I paid £76.49
