Gore Wear bib shorts for men are the summer shorts for road and gravel riding. The straps hold the shorts on your upper body, so that the chamois pad stays in place even in a low riding position and no waistband presses on your waist.

How do you recognise good bib shorts?

The chamois pad is the most important part. It should suit your riding position: if you sit low and stretched out, you need padding further forward than someone who rides upright. The straps should be wide enough not to dig in and be made of airy material at the back. The leg endings hold the shorts on your thighs without constricting them.

Tip: Test new bib shorts on a short ride first, before you go on a long tour. Pressure points often only become noticeable after an hour in the saddle.
