Positives
- Very Stretchy
- Great Waterproofing
- Lots of Pockets
- Warm for a shell
Negatives
- No Side Entry Zippers
- Not good for those that run warm
Summary
The 686 dispatch gore-tex bib does not feel like classic gore-tex. These are a great bib for resort riding, or touring if you run a little cold. The meshed micro fleece interior liner makes these bibs a little too warm for us to use them for touring pants, which is unfortunate because they are so stretchy and allow such a full range of motion for hiking.Where To Buy
