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 C7 Race Bib Shorts+.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Gore Wear C7 Race Bib Shorts+ 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.

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.

- Description: Gore Wear C7 Race Bib Shorts+Featuring essential input from Olympic gold medallist Fabian Cancellara, the C7 Race Bib Shorts+ from Gore Wear bring your focus back to speed with style. A compressive-but-comfortable fit around the leg muscles helps to keep blood flow moving to help prevent lactic acid from bringing your pace down, so you can push harder for longer when up against it. Not only that, but you’re guaranteed a distraction-free race or training session with the addition of Central Torso Architecture, which anchors the shorts in place, keeping everything firmly in place even when you’re in the rider attack position.As a result, the Expert Seat Race seat insert is allowed to sit exactly where it needs to, making those intense competitions as comfortable as possible. It features high-density foam specifically placed to support the sit bones when you’re in a race position. The pad is attached to the shorts with minimal stitching and reduced seams, eliminating areas to chafe. Meanwhile, the GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Cup adds windproof protection around the most sensitive areas of the pad enhancing comfort considerably.The bibs, meanwhile, is where Fabian’s expertise has been most clearly put to work. Gore has given the shorts wide, flat-laying bib straps and a leg design that minimises seams leading to shorts that drape over the thighs perfectly, with optimal stretch for compression and comfort. Elsewhere, the abrasion-resistant four-way stretch fabric offers full freedom of movement, seams have been flatlocked to reduce chafing, and reflective details on all four sides gives you 360-degrees of visibility.Material: 71% Polyamide (Nylon), 29% Elastane (Spandex)EXPERT RACE seat insert with GORE® WINDSTOPPER® CupCompacting fabric provides muscle support and aids performance4-way stretch fabric is abrasion resistant, anti-pilling and fast dryingWide and flat bibs with highly breathable material keep short in placeSilicone leg grippers create snug fit at thigh without restricting movementRadio pocket on rear of bibFlatlock seams all around to create maximum comfortReflective details on all sides for 360-degree visibilityBuy Gore Wear Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.
