As I mentioned in my\u00a0Gorewear Distance Bibs<\/a>\u00a0review last year, I specifically asked to be involved in reviewing\u00a0Gorewear<\/a>\u00a0products for the bike-discount blog. Working at a bike shop gives me access to some of the best cycling gear brands in the world, including those that supply the WorldTour teams. But instead of going for the famous pro team gear like I used to, I wanted to try something I was seeing more and more on the road. On group rides, it\u2019s hard to miss the\u00a0GOREWEAR<\/a>\u00a0logo (sometimes still the old GORE logo, since the bibs last a long time) \u2013 there are always a few riders wearing one of the \u201cCs\u201d kits, and the feedback has been consistently positive. So I decided to pick up some Gorewear products myself and asked the product manager to keep me posted on new arrivals from the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Distance Kit<\/a>\u00a0introduced last year was, as I mentioned, a mega step in strengthening the brand\u2019s position as a high-end road cycling gear manufacturer\u2014a niche that has been rapidly evolving in recent years, with an increasingly selective audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year they came up with 2 big products for us: The Spinshift collection and the Ultimate bib shorts<\/a>. So the C\u2019s are slowly giving space for Spinshift, Distance and Ultimate. My choice for bibs was the top of the line Ultimate Bib Shorts. Over the summer, I paired them with the Distance Jersey, and now, as autumn sets in, I\u2019ve been wearing them with the Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey<\/a>. After more than 1,500 kilometers, my Ultimate Bibs still look brand new, and the pad feels just as firm as it did on day one. So, do the Ultimate Bibs really live up to their grandious name? Let\u2019s start with the tech:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
