Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Shorts – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Gore Wear C5 Short Tights+.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Gore Wear C5 Short Tights+ is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Shorts – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Shorts – Cycle. Brands like Gore Wear are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Shorts – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Shorts – Cycle.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Gore Wear C5 Short Tights+ Reviews
Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.
There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.
1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.
2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

At the same time, the comfort levels offset the snugness perfectly, star of the show being the Advanced Road seat insert that sits at the heart of the chamois, featuring plenty of cushiony goodness to protect you from the roughest parts of a life on and off-road.As well as bringing comfort and performance to the party, this edition of the C5 features a whole heap of Gore’s own legendary Windstopper® fabric, both within the seat pad and cup. As its name suggests, it does an excellent job of stopping chilly breezes in their tracks while still allowing plenty of breathability to keep you perfectly ventilated and wick away sweat at an astonishing rate. Further comfort is provided by optimised seam placement to help significantly reduce chafing, while a flat hem holds the shorts in place while also remaining soft against the body. Finally, reflective details on all four sides allows for unbeatable 360-degree reflectivity.Material: 80% Polyamide (Nylon), 20% Elastane (Spandex)GORE WINDSTOPPER Cup Technology: highly breathable, preformed windproof front for optimum comfortHighly functional material mixADVANCED ROAD seat insert with GORE WINDSTOPPER CupInseam length 25 cm / 10 inchesFlat hem provides optimum fit and comfortOptimized seam placementReflective details on all sides for 360-degree visibilityBuy Gore Wear Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.
