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 Tights. 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 Thermo Bib Tights+.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Gore Wear C5 Thermo Bib 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 Tights. 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 Tights. 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 Tights 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 Tights.
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 Thermo Bib 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.
Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Gore Wear C5 Thermo Bib Tights+ reviews there.

- Description: Gore Wear C5 Thermo Bib Tights+For those of you who are determined to ride, no matter what the winter weather has in store, the Gore Wear C5 Thermo Bib Tights+ provide superb comfort and protection via Windstopper® technology and water-repellent treatment. Come those colder, damper and darker days of winter, the C5 Thermo Bib Tights+ come into their own. When the temperatures fall away towards freezing, the thermo-stretch materials used for the C5s grab hold of your body heat and won’t let it go. In key areas, both water-resistant and windproof zones enhance comfort when biting winds and damp conditions strike. The tights also use fewer seams and have excellent flexibility, allowing for smooth, supple pedalling without chafing. While keeping you warm and cosy, the tights are also highly breathable. Vital for cycling comfort. As you build up the warmth, and hence a sweat, this vapour can escape easily. This will leave you dry and avoids that dreaded feeling of dampness you’ll find in lesser garments. A mesh back to the bib section also enhances breathability. Whether taking it steady or pushing on at speed, you’ll enjoy more refined temperature regulation. Advanced Brand Core Seat Insert with GORE® WINSTOPPER® CupEngineered for endurance rides, the Advanced Brand Core Seat Insert uses 120 kg/m3 density open cell perforated foam to offer exceptional support and vibration damping. The Anthropometrical design is tailored to the male anatomy, reducing pressure and numbness and allowing for improved blood flow. Elsewhere, anatomically shaped wings allow smooth, chafe-free pedalling and the slim profile gives easy movement in and out of the saddle. A GORE® WINDSTOPPER® front cup panel keeps off cold winds and a bacteriostatic Eco surface fabric offers outstanding comfort and moisture control.Features:Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% ElastaneAdvanced Brand Core Seat Insert with GORE® WINSTOPPER® CupThermo-stretch functional fabric with Durable Water-Resistant treatmentFast-drying material on bibs New draped design with reduced seams and increased stretch comfortMesh insert in back for optimum ventilationReflective detailsSlim fitSpray protection along the groin and inner thighStretch material for freedom of movementBuy Gore Wear Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
