bought one pair of these because of the steep discount and i loved them so much i bought a second pair immediately after because i knew they'd be going out of production at some point (gore is going out of business). they're nice and flexible around the knees, really soft material that kept me warm in 40-50 degree weather and has an extra flap of material to keep your junk from being blasted by cold air.
I've been rockin a couple of pairs of castelli winter bibs and while they are working fine, they felt so restrictive due to binding around around the knees.
These are my favorite bibtights I've had in a long time. The pad is super comfortable, the inseam length is perfect. They are very warm, so personally wouldn't wear them above 55 degrees or so. The DWR coating is a super nice touch for the PNW wet, as is the extra layer of insulation over the crotch for super windy days.
My only complaint is that the bib straps are a little bit long. I'm 5'8" and got the small, and when I bend over they become slightly loose. Not a deal-breaker by any means, and I'm shortish anyways so am used to sizing being challenging.
10/10 recommend.
