Gore Wear C7 GTX I Bib Shorts+

Racing and training in cold and wet weather is tough, however, having high-performance cycling kit such as the C7 GTX Bib Shorts+ goes a long way to make it far more palatable and give you the impetus to get yourself out when the weather is wet. The key to the performance of the C7 GTX is the use of Gore-tex Infinium™, this fabric keeps you drier for longer as water, rather than soaking in, beads on the surface and this, when combined with its windproof characteristic, optimises warmth and comfort. Taped seams used in the construction also contribute to the overall water-resistance.

Not only is Infinium™ protective it's extremely breathable too, vital to minimise wind chill and this makes the shorts perfect for those rides and races where the pace and intensity generate lots of perspiration. With an integrated mesh base layer upper you'll enjoy sweat-free comfort of the torso too. The shorts also feature a top quality pad, the EXPERT ROAD seat insert with Gore® Windstopper® Cup, a highly supportive seat pad with extra windproof protection for sensitive areas.

While they're race-focused shorts they're also practical too, with two rear pockets in the upper base layer providing extra storage space for the hardest of days in the saddle. Reflective details also enhance visibility, particularly important as dark storm clouds loom large.
