Gore Bike Wear Men's Alp-X 2.0 Gore-Tex Active Shell Long Pant

Ripped the seem on the inside of my left knee on my second ride. 6" gash and growing. This part does fold, and occasionally rubs 'stuff' on the bike as I pedal, but I can't find anything more than cable housings (not ends).Aside from that, these pants work quite well. I rode 22 miles, with lots of ups and downs. at medium intensity on a 25 degree day. I had NO noticeable perspiration issues in these pants. In contrast, I struggled to maintain a balance on my upper body, neck, and hands.

I had to return them. I'm 5'9 and 185lbs with a 36in waist. Clearly not cyclist skinny, but the large pants barely fit over my hips and I found the crotch extremely tight. The XL might fit, but by that point, The knees would be around my ankles.

First the good. The pants windproof and waterproof effectiveness are excellent. I've actually worn these during hurricane Sandy on my commute to and from work. They kept me dry and warm the entire time. I've had limited time in the cold with these, down to the mid 20's fahrenheit. They seem to be fine at these temps with a base layer of merino wool underneath.Now for the bad. They have a very unusual fit in the crotch area. It's hard to describe but they feel as if they are to small/short in the front. I purchased the medium and I have a 34" waist. I'm not sure if a large would prevent this or fit any better.Overall a four star rating, minus one star for this bizarre fit I described.

The "wear-resistant seat reinforcement" isn't really wear-resistant. The inner layer's gone in one spot and the outer layer has wrinkles after about 50 hours of riding. These are also quite tight, but that's somewhat expected from cycling gear. These are hands down the best cycling pants for rain I've ever worn, but for me even these aren't worth spending $200 on a new pair every half a year.

Great quality product. More than two years of ownership and delivers as new. Completely dry under profuse rain.

Unwearable, had to return. Legs are waaaay too long, and it's not like you can just hem them like jeans. The Gore "svelte" sizes just don't match my big middle and short inseam.

Too baggy from the knees down. Have to wear bands to keep away from cranks and sprocket. Bike pants should definitely be tapered. It keeps me dry, that's the important thing. They make a lot more noise when I walk in them than my old ones.

They work as advertised and keep me dry when I am out doing long days cycle touring

Many thanks

Superb.

Bei einer Regenhose dieser Preisklasse erwarte ich mir nicht nur dass sie atmungsaktiv und ausgezeichnet verarbeitet ist, sondern auch das sie lange hält.Und genau bei der Haltbarkeit versagt diese Hose, nach nicht einmal 8 Monaten ist die Hose im Sitzbereich großflächig aufgescheuert und hat ein Loch. Das Material im Sitzbereich ist dünn wie Papier und nicht abriebfest, die ersten Verschleißerscheinungen habe ich bereits nach dem ersten Monat sehen können.Diese Regenhose wird vom Hersteller als "Überhose für den leistungsorientierten Mountainbiker in den Bergen" angepriesen.Gerade bei Überhosen fürs Mountainbiken sollte der Sitzbereich extrem abriebfest sein, Schlamm, Dreck und kleine Steinchen sammeln sich zwischen Hose und Sattel und fangen an zu scheuern.Daher kann ich niemandem der diesen Sport ernsthaft ausübt diese Hose empfehlen.

Pro:- angenehm zu tragen- gute Haltbarkeit- praktischer Schnitt- wasserdicht- (etwas) atmungsaktiver als andererKontra:- hoher Preis

Suchte eine wasserdichte und atmungsaktive Hose zum Radfahren und Wandern. Sie erfüllt alle meine Anforderungen. Beim Wandern ist sie etwas zu groß, beim Radfahren ist das aber ok, weil man ja die Füsse anwinkeln muss.
