Gore Men's C3 Gws Bib Tights+

So I loved the shipping time. These were packaged well and arrived quickly! Just in time for my winter training to get underway in Central Wyoming.I was not disappointed with the craftsmanship of the bibs as they were what I'd expect from a GORE garment.My only complaint is that they are a bit sheer for my monster quads (this isn't a humble brag.... just being honest here) to the point that it almost hindered the donning of the garment. However, they did end up fitting.Now for a light hearted comment that was a mystery to me in the description, and may help others out: there is a noted "cup" in the insert for cycling. I was intrigued as no other company makes any winter bibs that really can insulate your nether regions, and this seemed like a pretty brilliant solution. Alas, it's solely an extension of the shammy and doesn't really give a ton of relief in cooler weather thus far (rode in 41* F today in these).Overall, I'm glad I picked up 2 pair as the seller had these for $99 each in my size (L).I should note contrary to some other reviews saying the legging was too long- mine are actually fitting a tab short. Context that I'm 76" tall and 190# with long legs (36" inseam).

Like most people you assume the S,M,L is for your country even says US chart on sizing. I'm slim 5-11 155. Ordered the medium arrives saying EU med US small and it fit perfect. The chart is accurate for the dimensions they suggest so follow them. They fit smug as they should, length was just right. Worn them 4 times now twice in the 40's and I felt a little over dressed behind the knee's. Twice in the low 30's and they are perfect on 2hr rides. I guess the huge difference in these tights is the wind protection for me its very noticeable.Update: Second Winter and everything above is perfect after many washes ( I don't put them in the drier but hang them next to the stove to air dry slow) (straps, zippers, and stitching are perfect). Just ordered another pair because I don't want to use anything else while my first pair is drying. I really enjoy the fact that they are surprisingly light, wind stopping, you need nothing under them for layers and the knee fit is comforting. Even had several rides in the low 20's no wind and with nothing under them for 2hrs, thigh's feel a little cold if your going slow.

I typically wear size L bib tights. After reading the reviews and consulting the size chart, I ordered US Size M (aka EU Size L) but they are still ridiculously long and loose fitting. Maybe size S or even XS would be right? So my advice is: order at least 2 sizes smaller than you usually wear.

I ordered a medium and it fits very comfortably (6'-0", 180lbs). I was finally able to give these a try today on my commute, the morning temps were about 5 degrees with a slight wind so it felt more like 0. These were not up to the task. My legs were quite cold, even with pumping on the bike and generating heat. These might be acceptable for 20-30 degree weather, but not colder.

These are so comfortable they fit well. They are very warm very water resistant. I’m very happy with them. I’ve written in 48° and drizzle and stay dry and comfortable.

Gore bicycle wear is tops in my book so this was my first stop for winter bib/tights. I fit well in size M Gore windstopper jackets. On the size charts, I was at the top end of size S and bottom end of size M. I noted from reviews of other Gore bib/tights that people recommend going up to the larger size when on the cusp. This didn't work for me. Size M was decidedly too large. Small fits me snugly and properly (5'8" - 147lbs).

I used to layer some windbreakers over my tights. No need with these. These are comfortable, warm and wind resistant. I've rode in the 40's and 50's, maybe upper 30's. Next season I'll test them in 20-30 degree weather.

I am 5'10'' and 195 pounds. The large was good for the waist, but the leg length was too long. :(
