Comfortable short- to mid-distance tights with some thermal properties, but difficult-to-get-right sizing
At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything but we do try to look for weak points in any design.
That looser feeling might be down to the sizing. Gorewear's sizing ranges from EU34 to EU42 – and I fall in between the two smallest sizes. I tested the size 36, which are labelled XS, and found them a little on the loose side. The dual-density Active Comfort Seat Pad chamois, created in conjunction with chamois supremo Elastic Interface, is designed for short- to middle-distance rides, which I think is a pretty accurate description. The padding isn't that thick, measuring 12.5mm at its thickest, which is good at keeping the bulk down – but it isn't the most flexible or supple pad, which makes it a little noticeable at times.
The high-waisted front means there's no chance of a jersey running up so much that you'd be left with a gap at your waist. I kept comparing these tights to the dhb Aeron Women's FLT Roubaix Bib Tight 2.0 which I've ridden in previous winters – but sadly these are no longer available.
