Gore Wear long cycling tights for men are long tights without bibs that sit at the waist with a waistband. They are designed for cool and cold days and, depending on the model, are available with or without a chamois pad.

Waistband or bibs in winter?

Tights with a waistband can be opened during a break without taking off your jacket and jersey. In winter, when you wear several layers on top of each other, this is a real advantage. On the other hand, the waistband can press in a low riding position, and your lower back is less protected than with bib tights.

Long cycling tights without a chamois pad are suitable as overtrousers on the mountain bike or for the ride to work. Underneath, you wear cycling shorts or padded cycling undershorts. Models with a chamois pad, on the other hand, replace the shorts completely.

Tip: Check the waistband in your riding position. If the tights slip down at the back, a cold strip forms between the jacket and the tights.
