Robust and comfortable

These shorts were to replace a previous GORE pair that only met their end in a crash after 6 years of great performance. I had no hesitation on selecting GORE again.

Very comfortable!

Great set of bibs for training and summer rides! Chamois is comfy. The cuffs on the legs feel great and don’t constrict. Highly recommend!
