back of knee rash from stitching
The chamois in these is great, but I also got the same rash as Charles described. I thought I had chiggers at first because it itched and burned so bad. I don't know if this is due to the elastic at the bottom being a little tighter than I typically wear or if there was chemical reaction between either my sweat/skin oils and the threading used for the 2" long stitch behind the knee. It was so bad that I don't think I'll wear them again. I might put a strip of medical tape in this area and try them out again.

Great Fit, comfortable...only one problem.
This is my first pair of quality cycling bibs. I like them, they are very comfortable, but there is a stitch at the bottom of each leg, behind each thigh, that just rubs against the skin and creates a rash...a bad one. After one month of use, I thought my skin would get used to it and it would go away...but it doesn't. After an hour of riding, you just wand to pull over and put on a Bandaid or something cause it's just very uncomfortable. Bad design for that specific area.

Nice but bad quality padding
Bought mine a year ago. Good looking, good fit( might be a little on the large side). Good quality materials in all but the padding. The silicon on the end of the legs give me a little more rash than several other bibs but not severe. The padding was very good the first 10 monts but then something happened. The padding inner and outer parts separated and now I have to try to line them up efter every wash , which sometimes is a 15 minute job. No I do not hand wash my bibs, never, ever has( dont think many does and should not have to) and never experienced something like this. Always air drying them though, never tumbling. That is real poor quality in my eyes.If better padding I would give a five star but since they do not hold up well they will be expensive in the long run.

I don’t even leave reviews
But these is legit. Slightly over 6’/~175 and fit perfect. Padding is thinner than some other bike brand bibs I have but much more comfortable. Hold snug to legs.

Another great Gore choice
I've been buying Gore cycling gear for 20 years now, and the consistency of quality and fit continues to impress me. These bibs are a really close fit and the insert is comfy enough for medium-long rides .
As ever they're well made, easy to wash and I'm sure will still be getting worn regularly for the next few years

Well made and comfortable
Unfortunately I have ordered the same size as Castelli. For Gore I need a size smaller.
Still.this product is great. Can't complain. Will buy again

Good quality, but not perfect
The shorts feel great, good quality soft fabric, and the leg grippers are a nice touch. The legs on these fit really well, the grippers stay in place and they look good. My main issue is with the straps, there is virtually no resistance and neither so I have to keep pulling the waist fabric up as it sags down during riding. Also not sure about the pad, it chafes on one side after 20 miles or so, almost as if it isn't quite central, which severely limits the amount of comfortable riding I do. Overall pretty disappointed, these shorts, and Gore, seem to get a lot of positive reviews, but they are not a patch on the Rapha shorts I have been wearing.

Very comfortable
Worn 10 times so don’t know about long term quality yet but first impressions are good. Fit is quite loose (not much compression compared to Rapha - but definitely not baggy) this make them super comfy.
Pretty good looking (tho would prefer less intrusive branding).
Feel like a good alternative to more expensive Rapha equivalents at the moment...but time will tell!
