The C7 Long Distance Bib Shorts+ make use of a knitted 4-way stretch material with an ultra-fine gauge giving you wonderful freedom of movement and an extremely soft and comfortable sensation against the skin. The fabric also wicks away sweat remarkably quickly to leave you feeling dry at all times and thanks to its quick-drying characteristic it will never feel damp and clammy even after an epic ride in warm conditions. Wide leg-grippers, with silicone grippers, give the shorts a snug fit but spread pressure evenly for a barely-there feel. Central Torso Architecture For their new C7 range, Gore Wear has developed a brand new concept for the design and engineering of their cycling shorts, known as Central Torso Architecture, which sees the shorts anchored solidly in place in three key areas, the thigh, lower back and shoulders. The result of the Central Torso Architecture are shorts that hold firm across the centre of the torso when you adopt an aggressive riding position and the pad remains firmly in place so it can't cause rubbing but when you jump out of the saddle for sprints, powering up hills and diving into corners you'll enjoy amazing freedom of movement. Fabian's Favourite Features With Fabian Cancellara's input, Gore has given the shorts wide, flat-lay 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. Inside the shorts, an EXPERT Long Distance borrows its overall design from the Race pad but with the addition of more pressure-resistant foam, it's even more supportive in a wide range of riding positions, making it perfect for your long-distance rides. The pad is attached to the shorts with minimal stitching and reduced seams, eliminating chafing while the GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Cup adds windproof protection around the most sensitive areas of the pad enhancing comfort considerably. If you love nothing more than cycling towards faraway places or taking on big loops on local roads then you'll be amazed at the comfort of the C7 Long Distance Bib Shorts+. Every detail considered to ensure you finish your ride as comfortably as you started it.

Light, Cool And Straight Out Of The FutureWe've been pushing the envelope on lightweight shorts since 2011 but have butted up against the limits of compromising durability for ever lighter weight. We needed to step back and find a better way.We examined what the short really needs to do: it needs to hold the seat pad securely in place while otherwise adding as little weight or fabric as absolutely necessary (without being transparent, obviously), and it needs to last a season of hard use. So we engineered a brand-new fabric using a woven rather than a knit that shaves 30% in weight for the same level of support and non-transparency. Then we worked with the world's leading mill to construct a gradient fabric that becomes increasingly lighter the farther down the leg it extends, with the last part weighing a mere 90 g/m2 compared to normal short fabric, which weighs around 220 g/m2.This fabric, while being insanely light, maintains a decent durability along with excellent abrasion resistance, at least against the saddle. We don't guarantee it against unplanned slides across the asphalt, so please keep the rubber side down!Note that while the short saves a mere 48 grams while dry, this means it also absorbs around 30% less moisture when you're sweating. So when you're sweating your way up the Alpe d'Huez you're actually saving closer to 150 grams.This short doesn't compromise on comfort. We use our top Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, the spectacular striped mesh bibs from the Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort and a flat stretch woven leg gripper to keep everything in place.Key Features: The premium lightweight hot weather short, Gradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum support, Ultralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durability, Minimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you cool, Integrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in place, Embossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfers, Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, 20°-40°C / 68°-104°F, Weight:141 g.

Taped seams and waterproof zippers are utilized throughout, including the zipper fly and three pockets, as well as openings for two front mesh vents.

The Castelli Superleggera Bibshort is designed for the hottest conditions and is the latest iteration in Castellis quest to build the most lightweight bibshort. Castelli has been developing lightweight bibshorts since 2011, but when designing the Superleggera Bibshort Castelli went back to the drawing board to rethink every aspect of the shorts design. Castelli decided that what the short needs to do is hold the seat pad securely in place while adding as little weight as possible and retaining durability. The solution was to engineer a brand-new fabric that is woven rather a knit, saving 30% in weight for the same level of support. Castelli also worked with a world leading mill to create a graded fabric that becomes increasingly lighter the further down the leg it extends. At the lightest point, this fabric weighs 90g/m2 compared to normal short fabric which weighs roughly 220g/m2. The result of these new technologies is a bibshort that weighs an incredibly light 141g in size large. The fabric construction saves weight, but it really comes into its own when riding hard in hot conditions as it absorbs 30% less moisture compared to normal short fabric. This means that while the fabric saves 48g in weight when dry, it saves closer to 150g when youre sweating your way up Cols and pushing yourself to your absolute limit. Key Features Premium lightweight short for hot weather Gradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum support Minimalist stripe mesh bib to minimise weight and keep you cool Integrated gripper elastic to keep shorts in place Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad Temperature comfort range of 20 40C Weight 141g (Large)
