Castelli have long been pioneers of lightweight shorts for hot-weather cycling but in pursuit of lighter weights, durability can be compromised. The Superleggera Bib Shorts are a result of Castelli's design team looking for an innovative way to achieve performance in the heat without over-compromising durability. Hot Weather Cycling. No Sweat. It starts with Castelli using a cutting-edge development in woven fabric rather than the traditional knit fabric of standard shorts. This reduces weight by some 50% while still offering the same level of muscle support and non-transparency. Uniquely, the fabric is also graded so that it becomes lighter as you move down the leg. The last part of the leg weighs a mere 90 g/m² compared to the usual 220 g/m² of standard cycling shorts. Less weight equals greater comfort as the heat rises. Reduced moisture absorption is also key to the Superleggera's comfort and lack of weight. When dry, the shorts weigh a measly 141 grams. However, they actually absorb 30% less moisture too, so when you really get a sweat on they stay light. Compared to normal shorts that could be as much as 150 grams in weight saved - a welcome boost to power to your weight ratio as you head upwards. While being barely-there light the fabric is durable and abrasion-resistant against the saddle too - though something this light won't like you hitting the tarmac so ride safe and rubber side down. The bib section of the shorts is borrowed from the Free Aero Race 4 Bib shorts for perfect support, comfort and moisture management while stretch-woven grippers, with Lycra, keep the shorts locked in place over the thighs. Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat Pad Inside the shorts is Castelli's fabulously comfortable Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. So what exactly makes it so comfortable? It starts with the first contact point against the skin. This upper skin-care material is now seamless and even softer than previous versions letting you enjoy smooth and chafe-free pedalling, no matter the distance. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it, thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum - the result is intense comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you're on the saddle for hours on end.
Light, Cool And Straight Out Of The FutureWe've been pushing the envelope on lightweight shorts since 2011 but have butted up against the limits of compromising durability for ever lighter weight. We needed to step back and find a better way.We examined what the short really needs to do: it needs to hold the seat pad securely in place while otherwise adding as little weight or fabric as absolutely necessary (without being transparent, obviously), and it needs to last a season of hard use. So we engineered a brand-new fabric using a woven rather than a knit that shaves 30% in weight for the same level of support and non-transparency. Then we worked with the world's leading mill to construct a gradient fabric that becomes increasingly lighter the farther down the leg it extends, with the last part weighing a mere 90 g/m2 compared to normal short fabric, which weighs around 220 g/m2.This fabric, while being insanely light, maintains a decent durability along with excellent abrasion resistance, at least against the saddle. We don't guarantee it against unplanned slides across the asphalt, so please keep the rubber side down!Note that while the short saves a mere 48 grams while dry, this means it also absorbs around 30% less moisture when you're sweating. So when you're sweating your way up the Alpe d'Huez you're actually saving closer to 150 grams.This short doesn't compromise on comfort. We use our top Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, the spectacular striped mesh bibs from the Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort and a flat stretch woven leg gripper to keep everything in place.Key Features: The premium lightweight hot weather short, Gradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum support, Ultralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durability, Minimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you cool, Integrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in place, Embossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfers, Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, 20°-40°C / 68°-104°F, Weight:141 g.
Made from a super-breathable mesh material, the Trail Liner waist shorts bring you a brilliant balance of moisture management and temperature control when on your bike. The mesh means sweat can evaporate easily while airflow keeps you cool too. And not just that, the material wicks away moisture and dries quickly, maintaining a fresh feel as the kilometres speed by. At the end of the legs, Castelli’s tried, and trusted GIRO⁴ leg grippers keep the shorts in place. A raw edge and vertical silicone stripes offer a firm hold without excess compression. And then there’s the premium Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad, offering perfect comfort for anything from short local mountain bike rides to multi-day gravel bike adventures. Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad The Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad aims to incorporate as many of the features and comfort as the top-of-the-line Progetto x2 seat pad but at a more affordable price. 1. Seamless skin care layer: A super-soft, brushed microfibre top that maximizes comfort and fit. Seamlessly engineered to eliminate chafing and abrasion. Flexible to move with you. Bacteriostatic treatment to avoid saddle sores and infection. 2. Continuously variable thickness: Dual density and infinitely variable thickness give you the perfect cushioning for every part of the pad. Maximum thickness and density in the ischial zone, tapering to moderate thickness in the perineum, and minimum thickness at the perimeter. 3. Anatomic shape: Comfort is further enhanced by creating a perfect interface to your body during every pedal stroke.
There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather. It's the very latest Nano Flex 3G fabric used that gives the Tutto Nano Bib shorts the versatility to perform in all types of weather and riding conditions. When the clouds burst and rain begins to fall then, and here comes the tech, the nanotechnology microfilament mechanical water repellent finish combined with a short-chain chemical DWR (Durable Water Repellant) finish prevents water from seeping in. Phew. It's that technology that maintains your comfort for longer. Reduced seams also enhance protection, with fewer areas for water to get in, and the thermal performance keeps cold out and warmth in too. Elsewhere, the mesh bib straps keep airflow to the body optimised, helping regulate temperature and prevent clamminess as you begin to push the pace. Superb Saddle Support With the cold and wet conditions dealt with the focus turns to on-the-saddle support, and here Castelli have used their renowned Kiss Air2 seat pad. The pad incorporates as many of the features and comfort as the top-of-the-line Progetto x2 seat pad but at a more affordable price.
