    Best I have found at this price point
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2022*

I’ve tried many different brands/styles of bib shorts in the $30-$40 range I think these are the best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Runs very small, very lightweight
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021*

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.

    A little pricey, but good
  

*by C***J on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2022*

Comfortable and work well. Good gripper. I use them for mountain biking. I switched to bibs to keep them up better. The only downside I've found is that the adequate chamois sometimes catches the tip of the saddle. On the plus side I am able to urinate without removing anything. The material in the lower abdomen is thinner and easy to pull down.
