Review on GORE Breathable Cycling Shorts Optiline Sports & Fitness by Shane Palma

I have been wearing Gore cycling clothing for over 10 years and love most of their products that I have tried. However, these C5 chest armors are so bad I'm almost wondering if they're pirated? the material is very weak; it doesn't have the compression feel or the more durable material of the old bibs. The foam pad just rips off leaving a horrible seam. The leg grips have a hard plastic stitching that feels stiff on the legs and can easily damage skin after hours of cycling. I can't believe Gore would even sell something like this. I almost lost faith in buying her clothes. I may need to switch to a different brand for my future bike kits.
