GORE WEARMen's C3 3/4 Bib Tights+

Top quality winter bibs, nice chamois, recommended

Perfect fit and quality, as with all Gore products. I don’t know why some people give it low stars for being “thin” or “uninsulated”. Nowhere in the product description does it say they are insulated or for winter wear. Perhaps the confusion comes from the fact that *most* 3/4 bib shorts are insulated. I’m glad these aren’t. I prefer 3/4 bib shorts so I can wear long socks and pull up the legs to just below my knee.These have a wide grabby section at the bottom that cheaper shorts don’t have.

Who this product is for: someone wanting more sun protection during summer riding. This is a rare, summer weight bib knicker. That is what I wanted. Mission accomplished. The padding is a tad thin. Would have preferred more. But for the money, these bids get the job done. I've ridden them up to sixty-five miles and they are fine.

I'm 5'7" (32" waist / 41" hips / 25" thighs / 17.5" hip-joint-to-knee-joint / 31.5" inseam) and 180lbs. I purchased the Large GORE C3 3/4 Bib Tights+. I couldn't be happier. Yes, I'll have to wear tall crew socks in cold weather, but it beats having full-length pants that have a bunch of extra fabric bunched up around my ankles or my knees.I also purchase the Large BALEAF Men's Bike Cycling Pants 4D Padded Bicycle Tights MTB Riding Leggings Zipper Pockets UPF50+ (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z3K46DC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), based on my hip circumference. It fit well only when pulled up to my waist line. I'm ordering a Medium as a fall back. Good thing they're only $31 each.

These hit the mark when it comes to ridding in the mornings. Keeps my knees warm.

Good fit, light weight knicker just got it, so can't comment durability - if it wears well then I'd give it 5 stars.

I will say, the quality here is top-notch, as is the case with GORE products generally, but I'm just a little confused as to the point of these bibs. Not only is there zero insulation or windproofing, but the material is even lighter/thinner than on my summerweight bib shorts. Will be returning these, as I don't really see how these would be useful in colder weather. Otherwise, the fit and quality are great.

I love gore products and lots of them but this one was really sub standard. All the other 3/4 bibs I own have some kind of wind proofing and a shade more insulation than summer shorts. These are basically just long lightweight summer shorts. So no good for shoulder seasons when I normally wear them.
