GOREWEAR C3 Trail Shorts

Very nice, fitt perfectly, I like the cargo style, arrived in time! One happy costumer

I bought a Gore cycling top a few years ago. Had proved to be great value for money. Not cheap but I have worn it 100s of times. So I was happy to spend a bit more on Gore shorts if they give me that level of service. So far so good. Nice fit, good pockets and zips. Time will tell!

Great shorts and typical excellent Gore quality. I find the fit is always good with Gore kit, and although it is slim/tight the material stretches a little so ideal for bike shorts. Good size and zipped pockets are useful. I use the shorts for commuting and MTB. I am c.32-33" waist and Medium fits fine, so the sizing chart is sound. Update after one year: I regularly wear the shorts on my daily commute and despite the use in all weathers they are still in excellent condition. Recommendation still stands, pricey but worth the outlay for the quality.

Good quality mtb shorts, a good fit for me, and a decent length for mountain biking down to the knee. They are expensive but probably worth it for the fit and look. They don’t come with any dwr water resistance but that’s the only bad thing about them. I’m 5 11” ,about 72kg, with a 32” waist and a medium fitted me perfectly.

Best shorts for commuting I have ever had. Bought a pair about 10 years ago, perfect for 6 years of wearing to and from work (20 urban kms) daily and all day at work may to september. Inevitably the shorts started to fray, so replaced them with Humvees from Endura, the humvees are a much lower quality short, fabric feels cheap and developed ridges after 1 month. Replaced with a pair from Altura. Altura ones had a better fabric than endura but strange fit and no belt loops, had to buy braces to hold them up. Gave up on the braces combo. Went back to the Gore Trail shorts, they are perfect though should have gone down a size with latest c3 model. If you shopped in a shop with eyes and touch you’d buy Gore every time.

The best bits of cycling kit I have are from Gore. This is no different. Really nice item. Fits well, has a nice stretch to the material so it doesnt feel tight when you are riding. Look and feel really nice when on, and on Amazon were the best price i could find.

Nice enough but they fit a bit small, would suggest going a size bigger than usual.

I just like it: The fit, nice The look, good

Alto 1.81, peso 78.80 kg: la L è perfetta. Inutile dire dell’ottimo tessuto ideale per il periodo caldo/caldisssimo. Potrei sposarli.

If I were to design my ultimate mountain bike shorts, I'd copy the Gore C3 exactly. Here are the highlights: - Lightweight and comfortable; - Belt loops. There is elastic in the back of the waistband, but it is unobtrusive and does not look like dorky toddler pants (ala Zoic Ether). Also, no side adjustment tabs with patches of velcro or other silly adjustment schemes. The elastic is enough to secure the shorts on me; I imagine that it will eventually give out. Thanks to the belt loops I'll be able to use one of my webbing belts. - Zipper fly with double snap waistband closure. There is a little strip of velcro outboard of the snaps that keeps the closure tidy. That velcro is concealed. The fly is crucial, but the zipper is not. I had a pair of Fox shorts that had a zipperless fly. I was surprised that I liked the no zipper design. The Fox shorts self-destructed after about a dozen rides. - Hand Pockets: Hand pockets are zipperless (Good!), perfectly sized, and have channels that keep earbud wires from dangling and getting snagged. - Cargo pockets: I hate cargo pockets so I almost did not buy these shorts. But these pockets are different. Instead of a flap closure there is a zipper (Good!) and the zipper is oriented at the proper angle. Contents of the pocket stick out instead of getting pressed into my leg like they do in shorts that have the leg pockets sewn on the inside. I love these pockets. - Back pockets: There are none. Back pockets are useless on bike shorts. - Fit: Comfortable, but not baggy. I move around the cockpit a lot. Looser shorts snag on bike parts, especially the saddle. These do not. If you must wear a padded liner, order a size larger. But I recommend that you eliminate the need to pad your butt. Try a better-fitting saddle and modifying your riding to getting off the saddle more often. You are missing out on lots of advantages by staying on the saddle. - Style: Style is the least important aspect of functional clothing. However, I dislike functional clothing that is designed to scream "I want to look like I'm an awesome participant of (whatever activity)!" The Gore C3 style is understated and to my eye, among the best-looking MTB shorts. - Durability: I haven't ridden in these shorts enough to have an opinion regarding durability. - DURABILITY UPDATE: I've worn these shorts on 118 hard trail rides, according to my Strava records. The shorts still look and feel exactly like my backup pair that have never been worn. AMAZING! - Price: The first time I bought these (Nov '19), the price was $32. A month later, the price was $23, so I bought a second pair. There is no way that I would recommend buying any shorts for $100. You can buy three excellent Columbia Silver Ridge Cargo quick dry shorts for that much and they will be just as good. Or, 4 Carhartt shorts, if you don't mind cotton.

Genial!

shorts are a nice length, not too tight or loose and never constricting.
