Castelli Free Aero RC Bib ShortsFirst launched 15 years ago, and worn to countless victories, the Free shorts are legendary for their comfort. The Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts build on this heritage, making them the best racing shorts Castelli have ever made. You don't have to be a pro rider to enjoy the benefits the Free Aero RC Bib Shorts offer. Whether riding for an hour or riding all day, the smooth, compressive support, premium seat pad and outstanding flexibility all offer unrivalled comfort. Less is MoreCastelli have deconstructed their previous Free shorts and started from scratch to deliver a more minimalist, but highly comfortable race short. Compared to previous iterations, there are fewer panels, now just 5 compared to 10. In combination with Castelli's high-stretch and compressive Forza 2 fabric, this gives a wonderful sense of freedom throughout your pedal stroke. Moving to the ends of the legs, this sees yet more minimalism. Instead of the usual elastic or silicone grippers, you'll find just smooth, raw cut edges. No more irritation when you're getting sweaty. After 28 prototypes and extensive material testing, Castelli have found the sweet spot, with shorts that remain in place but don't irritate or compress too much. 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 PadThe 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.

Castelli Women's Premio Black Cycling Bib ShortsGiving a beautifully sleek and streamlined fit thanks to the innovative gradient-fabric construction, the Castelli Women's Premio Black Cycling Bib Shorts are the ultimate for long-distance cycling comfort. Seamless ‘Less is More’ PerformanceThe Women's Premio Black Cycling Bib Shorts are unlikely to be like any cycling shorts you've ever worn before. Castelli have put into action a 'less is more' approach to the design, with fewer seams and panels used in their construction. This design approach has been made possible thanks to an innovative fabric that seamlessly changes in characteristic to suit each part of the body. With less need to stitch panels together you'll find the fit and feel is superbly comfortable and offers a sleek and sophisticated look.Gradient StretchSupport and compression levels are highest around the pelvic area, holding the seat pad precisely in place and providing muscle support. The fabric is also thicker to avoid any transparency issues. As the fabric moves down the thighs it becomes progressively lighter in weight. This enhances moisture-management and gives outstanding flexibility when pedalling. Four-way stretch provides just the right amount of muscle support too. Raw cut endings and rubberised yarns keep the legs in place.Premium fabrics are also deployed for the bib straps. These are high-stretch bibs that keep your shorts secure but don't cut into your shoulders. Bonded edges give a smooth and comfortable fit and a perforated back ensure sweat can escape easily. Women’s Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat PadThe first contact point against the skin is the super-soft upper skin-care material. It's now seamless and even softer than previous generation pads. 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 results are outstanding 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.Laser-etched logos and a subtle finish ensure the Women's Premio's looks are as premium as their comfort. With an obsessive attention to detail, these are Castelli’s most refined cycling shorts yet.Features:Materials: 65% Polyamide, 34% Elastane, 1% PolyesterGradient stretch woven fabric for the right support in the right placeWoven fabric weighs 30% less than comparable knit fabricPerforated back bib panel with lie-flat bib straps that don't bind at shouldersIntegrated gripper elastic at leg ending holds short in place without need for extra silicone grippersLaser-etched logos with RossoCorsa at centre back and black scorpion shadow logos at lower legsWomen's Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat padSuggested temperature range: 14 to 38 Degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
