We all know that Gore kit is quality, it does exactly what it says on the tin so to speak. But I am surprised by the sizing. I'm not a small bloke (6'1 and close to 14 stone again) and as such the large shorts fit fine, but in the jersey I had to go for a medium. This stuff really is a try before you buy product! Looks good though, and flatters too.

    I just got a pair of their bib shorts managed to get a deal on them cause there was a bit of copper grease on them, and i licked my finger when i got back and it came off! definatley the best pair of shorts, looking to get a matching jersey, and some gloves aswell. maybe its me and a minor case of ocd but i like kit to match,

    Yeah Gore are good.

    I'm between a large and medium and you sound bigger than me - strange.

    You're right...... they are stupidly comfortable! The jersey is lovely too..... would like the orange one as well, but Wiggle say it's discontinued

    I like the Gore Stuff. 6ft 1 and 12 1/2 stone and a L in the tops. Had some tights but they were too baggy to be much to my liking. The tops are great though. I bought the orange long sleeve top from Dales Cycles after someone posted the link in the bargains sections and like it a lot. Not first choice colour for style but gets me seen in summer evenings and plenty of pockets (3 as usual but also a zipped pocket).

    This is no place for that sort of talk, young man.

    My Gore Tool jacket is my favourite item of cycling clothing, if they ever appear on a site going dead cheap I'll have a couple more!
