Alé Pro Race Strong Bib ShortsStrong by name strong by nature, the Alé Pro Race Strong Bib Shorts feature super-tough Dyneema® Square panels to add protection should you get caught up in a race crash or slip out on a wet corner during training. Part of the cutting edge REV-1 racing range, the Pro Race Strong Bib Shorts offer a perfect balance of comfort, muscle support and of course the added protection from Dyneema®.Fluid and Supple Muscle SupportIn order to give you a smooth and fluid pedal stroke while at the time lightly compressing hard-working muscles, Ale deploys their Zaffiro material. This Lycra® Power material is used to gently squeeze and compresses muscles, encouraging blood flow and providing fatigue-busting support during pedalling. Multi-direction stretch also gives perfect motion and return while excellent abrasion resistance adds durability in saddle contact areas.Dyneema® Side PanelsWhether racing or training, there’s always a chance you’ll pay a visit to the tarmac, which is where the Dyneema® side panels come into play. Stronger than steel at the same weight, it offers outstanding cut and abrasion resistance. In the event of a crash, this contributes to less likelihood of suffering ride-ending road rash and you won’t have a set of ruined shorts either. Lightweight and breathable, it’s a brilliant addition to these race-ready shorts.Y-Air Bib SystemWith their Y-Air Bib System, Ale has increased rider comfort by lessening the contact area between straps and skin. With more skin open to the air, both breathability and ventilation are improved, but thanks to the Y-shaped back, the short’s stability and position are maintained perfectly. Soft microfibre straps also promote a feeling of lightweight comfort and freshness.Men's Velocity 8F seat padOffering long-ride comfort on the saddle, the Men's Velocity 8F seat pad makes use of open-cell foam to add support just where you need it most. With a density of 100 g/m² and a maximum thickness of 12mm, you'll enjoy vibration absorption and easing of pressure at the saddle contact points. With perforations in the foam, this pad is significantly better at dealing with perspiration than a non-ventilated pad. It also allows for better airflow and quicker drying times, both keeping you feeling fresh and dry, no matter how many miles you're into your ride.

No one says you can’t use your road bib shorts when going for a gravel ride. But our Gravel Bib Shorts have been made using heavy duty, extra durable fabrics that are especially resistant to abrasions. There is a ceramic coating material that has been strategically placed on the sides in order to protect the fabric from tearing in case of a crash. The ultra-long distance insert has been used for extra comfort on long or multi-day rides. The bib material offers a high degree of compression to help your circulation through those long hours in the saddle. If you are looking to have a less compressive feel, then we suggest you order one size up. The Swiss made fabric has received a DWR treatment to repel water and dirt, and a Coldblack finish to make the black tights feel as cool as white bibs in the sun. A super soft and fast moisture wicking mesh fabric has been placed on the back side of tights for better temperature control. Specification Women’s version anatomically shaped (pad and fit) for the female form State of the art Swiss fabric with ceramic coating for extreme durability Italian-made chamois suited for ultra-distance rides with extra shock absorption Perfect balance between compression and comfort Treated with Coldblack® finish to keep cool, and DWR® finish to repel water and dirt Features spacious back pocket with dual side entry to carry extra pieces of clothing when needed Reflective Isadore logo Materials Side panels: 80% Polyamide 20% Elastane Inner panels: 66% Polyamide 34% Elastane

The Free Aero RC Pro Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Giri d'Italia, San Remo, Roubaix, Liège, and Lombardia, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because, simply put, this is the short that does everything well. The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary. You feel Free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel Free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate Skin Care Layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin. You feel Free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back. You feel Free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% Lycra® with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are sublimation printed so they will never peel, crack, or fade. What It Is The perfect mix of comfort and speed. Engineered for top-level racing, which also makes it supremely comfortable for every ride and rider. Product Features High-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compression Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders Rear mesh pocket 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade Reflective piping on back of legs Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F Weight:183g

Performance winter bibtights with wind cheating fabrics and a 600 Series Pad for comfort in saddle. Wind - friend or foe dependant on the direction but almost always a factor when riding on the road in winter. The Windchill range acts as a windproof shield preventing heat loss while transporting sweat away from your body creating a comfortable warm micro climate. The Windchill Bibtights employ a combination of windproof panels on the front and brushed back thermal fabrics on the back to optimise wind cheating and moisture beating properties. The waterproof fabric used in the seat panel protects from road spray. They won't reduce the headwind but it will help keep your body working at its optimum temperature to push on and enjoy the ride. Reflective DetailingReflective prints or panels catch vehicle headlights boosting visibility in low light conditions. Carefully measured positioning maximises visibility and helps make other road users aware of your presence.
