GORE C7 Long Distance Bib Shorts+

For its latest product release, GORE Wear notes that it… ‘encourages and motivates all athletes to bring out the best in themselves and achieve their personal goals. The brand has worked closely with elite racing team GRL:PCK, GORE Wear’s long-term ambassador team, to create the C7  Long Distance Bib Shorts+.

Made of an abrasion resistant, four-way stretch knit fabric, these bib shorts are positioned for spending hours in the saddle, whether on solo ride excursions or riding indoors. The fine knit fabric is ‘opaque and gentle on the skin, providing comfort while ensuring that the shorts sit well, even when you’ve been clocking up the miles.’

Using a generous amount of pressure-resistant foam, the ‘Expert Long Distance’ pad provides comfort when changing position on the bike, as is often the case on longer rides. Thanks to the GORE WINDSTOPPER technology, these bib shorts are also breathable and windproof.

GORE Wear athlete Julia Klaus, who is also a member of the GRL:PCK team, said “When I’m out on my bike, I need to focus entirely on bringing out the best in myself, and pacing myself. I want to be able to concentrate fully on my own performance and not be distracted by the pain and discomfort of saddle soreness. These bib shorts fit perfectly. When I’m in the saddle, I don’t give them a second thought, and I mean that as a compliment.”

GORE Wear is part of WL Gore & Associates. Best known for its GORE-TEX brand, the company serves markets around the globe and is privately owned.
