Review: Great pad, strong build, good looking, but check the strap length works for you cycling gorewear
The Gore Transition Bib Shorts are great – they add protection from chilling winds and showers while barely increasing warmth or bulk, and prove a useful interim step between 3/4s and full summer bibs. They're well made and really comfortable too... or at least, they're comfy if you're the right proportions for the straps. They won't suit everyone.
The fabric is also water repellent, and though Gore doesn't mention if that's naturally or via a treatment, it beads water well enough to make me think it has a durable water repellent coating. I also like the orange flashes and reflective logos, as they add a bit of style while helping with visibility.
I've tested quite a lot of bibs now and I feel like a broken record – the straps here are too strongly sprung to accommodate certain proportions. It's my fault for having a relatively long torso and short legs, it seems, but don't think I'm a circus freak or look like I'm kneeling on my shoes – I only even found out thanks to cycling. It's never affected my regular clothes.
