Renowned for product innovation, including the first consumer-available Lycra® cycling shorts to anatomical seat pads, Castelli know how to make great cycling products. And that constant push for innovation and excellence has been distilled into the Entrata 2 Waist Cycling Shorts. They’re entry-level cycling shorts with high-end performance. Just right from the moment you pull them on, you'll soon be riding further and faster and more comfortably than ever before. The Pro Dry matte Lycra® provides the ideal level of compression, remains perfectly flexible for smooth pedalling and deals efficiently with sweat. Smooth Giro3 leg grippers give a smooth but firm grip of the legs. And as with every Castelli short, the fit is sublime, the 8-panel design hugging and flexing in all the right places for outstanding comfort. They're made to last too, with the logos and reflective details stitched in so no peeling even after many seasons of use. Perfect. KISS Air2 Seat Pad When you're on the bike you'll also enjoy on-the-saddle comfort from Castelli's KISS Air2 seat pad. Next to the skin, you'll enjoy the luxury of Castelli's softest-ever surface fabric, delivering immediate comfort. Seamless construction and stretch fit all but eliminate chafing as you push the watts. Next comes the dual-density, variable-thickness padding. This sees maximum density and thickness across the ischial zone, reduced thickness around the perineum and then minimum thickness at the edges. This is all wrapped up in an anatomically shaped pad for optimal comfort for any distance.

It Just Works Right Castelli has innovation in our DNA, and we've brought you most innovations in cycling shorts over the years: the first Lycra® shorts on the market, the first synthetic seat pads, the first anatomical seat pads, the first minimalist and flat bib straps, and the first flat leg grippers. All these have become industry standards, and we keep pushing and innovating in our high-end shorts. The Entrata short is where we bring all that knowledge and experience into a short that just plain works. The fabric is just the right weight with just the right stretch and with a matte finish that looks just right. The KISS Air2 seat pad is just right, as is the GIRO3 leg gripper. And the short fits just right because we obsess over the fit of every short we make. We wanted this short to be just right for many years to come, so we stitch on the logos and stitch in the reflective panels on the back. There are no logos to peel off, and everything is stitched down securely. This short gives you every reason to step up to Castelli. What It Is Castelli's entry-level short still needs to be an amazing short in order to carry the scorpion logo. Comfort from quality fabrics, our KISS Air2 seat pad and eight-panel construction are brought together with an overall focus on durability.
Comfort and speed are two things that triathletes always seek. The Castelli Free 2 Women’s Short Shorts share many of the aerodynamic features of the Castelli Free 2 Women's Tri Shorts, while ensuring even greater ease of movement, since they’re a few centimetres shorter in both the waist and legs.The speed comes from Instadry Speed fabric, which is naturally feather light, slow to absorb water, and cut to offer an anatomic fit that will support your muscles. Meanwhile, the back pocket is flat enough to let air and water stream past it freely, yet large enough to keep a gel close at hand for a timely energy boost.Comfort is achieved through flatlock seams that ensure the whole short is smooth and a pleasure to wear, along with the GIRO³ leg grippers that will hold the legs firmly but lightly in place as you push on the pedals or pound the ground. These shorts also feature the renowned KISS Tri seat pad, which offers ample cushioning to keep you feeling great on your bike, whether on race day or in training, but with minimal bulk, so that you’ll barely notice it’s there during the swim and run. After you’ve left the water, you’ll mount the bike ready to roll thanks to the pad’s extra fast drying foam.Key Features: Instradry Speed fabric sheds water ,Free construction and flat lock stitching results in a comfy anatomic fit,KISS Tri seat pad is slim but artfully padded for maximum cycling comfort ,Pocket at centre back for gel,GIRO³ leg gripper keeps legs lightly in place,Weight: 106g (S).
The concept for the Free Aero RC Bib Shorts is simple; use a premium seat pad, offer a refined fit with perfect muscle support and then remove everything else that’s not absolutely necessary. Whether you pin on a race number or not, the Free Aero RC are Castelli's most refined race short yet, with a fit and features that make them perfect for any cyclist. Less is More The focus of any cycling short is of course comfort, and here Castelli have taken a less is more approach. Compared to previous Free shorts there are now fewer panels, down from 10 to 5, and hence fewer seams. Highly supportive Forza 2 fabric is used to offer just the right amount of support and compression too. This all combines to give a brilliantly refined and sculpted fit, a wonderful sense of freedom during your pedal stroke and far less chance of chafing. This minimalist approach also extends to the leg grippers - or rather the lack of grippers. Instead, there are raw cut edges that feel fantastic. This has been made possible by extensive testing (28 prototypes), to get the fit and feel just right, and the support of compressive fabric. This gives an unrivalled sense of freedom and comfort that is unmatched. No more harsh elastic or irritating silicone. Refined Bib Straps When it comes to the upper body, again Castelli have sought to minimise the construction, removing bulk, boosting comfort and improving airflow. Open-weave bib straps let air in while also letting moisture evaporate away quickly. To the back, a reinforcing yoke ensures your straps remain flat and in place, while the mesh back is kept narrow, again to improve airflow to the body and prevent overheating. At the lower back, the bib forms a convenient storage pocket too. Progetto X² Air Seat Pad The top-end Progetto X2 Air Seatpad is now better than ever. Castelli has improved the shape of the back and improved the method of stitching it in place. The result is it now sits flatter and offers greater comfort. The X2 retains its awesome ventilating perforations, keeping you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. A 3 layer component construction also features two densities of foam plus gel pads to provide progressive damping. A super-soft and stretchy next-to-skin layer, with an antibacterial finish, completes this premium pad.
The Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts are the latest reincarnation of Castelli’s all-time best-selling model, known for doing everything well. Engineered as fast, top-level racing bib shorts and made with dyed fabrics for a rich colour, they expertly combine luxury with speed, being built around Castelli’s best seat pad, the Progetto X² Air seamless.Constructed with two densities of foam and gel pads that absorb vibrations and improve ride quality, not to mention a soft upper layer that moves with the skin, this pad offers superb long-distance comfort. Half the number of panels in the short portion means less seams, making these bib shorts easier to wear than ever, as do the minimalist, breathable mesh bib straps, constructed with an open weave and narrow coverage for maximum airflow. There’s also a convenient mesh pocket in the centre back for nutrition and other essentials. Meanwhile, after 28 prototypes and their most extensive testing programme ever, Castelli has succeeded in creating a raw cut leg ending that stays put without grippers – their most comfortable ever.
