Using their vast experience of cycle apparel engineering and with input from multi-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist Fabian Cancellara, the Gore Wear C7 Long Distance Bib Shorts+ are ideal for the longest of days in the saddle.

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.
