Why We Like The GORE Wear C3 Thermo Bib Tights+
GORE Wear's C3 Thermo Bib Tights+ vary slightly from the C5 line in that they are less water-resistant while still providing extreme weather protection. The thermo-stretch material boosts warmth without holding us back, while the Active Comfort chamois uses GORE WINDSTOPPER Cup Technology to shelter our most sensitive area from arctic blasts yet remains breathable for long-wear comfort. When pedaling on wet roads, the panel up the back protects us from spray. Up top, seam-free, mesh straps sit close to our body, disappearing beneath layers, for ventilating, low-friction comfort.

Solid Tights (for the money)
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- Large
I’ve done about 10 rides with these now varying between 30 and 100 miles. The basics: 6’2” 210 lbs, athletic, bought a size large. Nice fit, true to size, comfortable against the skin, not the nicest stitching, but perfectly acceptable at this price. Really nice weight and warmth for cool to cold conditions. Shoulder straps not the most comfortable, chamois is good, not great. If I’m going more than about 90 minutes I’ll wear a different pair. I would recommend these if you are on a budget, won’t go long distance, or won’t need tights very often. If you need to wear tights a lot, spend a little more and get a better chamois.

Nice bibs
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Was looking for a slightly heavier bib tight. These fit nicely, true to size, and aren’t too long for shorter men (5’6”, 148#, US medium). The chamois was a little stiff until the first wash. Overall a nice bib, especially when on sale

Great purchase
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:
- Small
- Height:

- Weight:

I'm 5'6" and 135 Lbs wearing small size. It's perfectly fit to my body. Fabric is soft and comfortable next to skin. It's so easy to wear. I have been using it for a couple of times this fall already in the weather, around 55-60 F° and Windy Day. 40 miles round trip both times. Very warm, very comfortable. Bib chamois pad is very comfortable. I plan to buy another same one or try C5.

I love them
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Im 6 foot 2, 190 lbs, and the XXL fits perfect. They are warm for chilly California weather (40-60 F). I wore them on a 100 mile ride (6 hours) and the chamois was great, no soreness or saddle sores. The only thing i dont like is that there are some loose threads near one of the ankles.

Terrible

These bike tights are the worst. I purchased these for winter riding the the pad does not stay in the right place. The resulted in an uncomfortable ride on a few occasions.

Great spring/fall bibs
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The seams and overall comfort of these bibs are great. Had a metric century ride that started at 42F and ended at 68F, was super comfortable for the entire ride. The chamois is one of the simplest, yet most comfortable i have used. These seem to be more of an "american" fit which is good for me.
