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

Castelli Tutto Nano BibtightEngineered for a wide range of riding conditions, the Castelli Tutto Nano Bibtights make use of Nano Flex 3G fabric to deliver even more warmth and more water-resistance in a high-performance winter cycling tight.The Wonders of NanotechnologyPivotal to the all-round protection offered by the Tutto Nano Bibtights is their use of warm and water-resistant Nano Flex 3G fabric. This amazing material makes use of a nanotechnology microfilament mechanical water repellent finish combined with a short-chain chemical DWR finish to ensure water is prevented from soaking in for longer, keeping you more comfortable when wet weather strikes. Its excellent thermal performance will also lock in heat while a reduction in seams adds to their ability to resist water ingress. While the lower body and legs are protected, the mesh bibs to the top prevent a build-up of perspiration, regulating your temperature so you don't overheat and feel uncomfortable. The Tutto Nano features the ever-reliable Kiss Air2 seat pad, incorporating many of the comfort-focused features of Castelli's top-of-the-range chamois. In any cycling garment, comfort is paramount and the anatomical shape of the Kiss Air2 pad ensures maximum comfort, no matter how long you're on the bike. Dual-density foam is used to provide variable thickness - padding where it's needed and less where it isn't, to maximise your freedom of movement on and off the bike. Finally, a brushed microfibre top layer, with superior softness and an anti-bacterial treatment eliminates chafing and saddle sores.Rain showers, sunshine, cold, cloud, whatever the weather the Tutto Nano Bibtight is Castelli's answer to that winter conundrum of what to wear for a day of riding that sees almost every season make an appearance.Features:Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% ElastaneNew Nano Flex 3G fabric is exceptionally warm and soft yet with even better rain protectionReduced seaming for improved comfort and fitMesh bib straps don't hold moistureKISS Air2 seat pad for long-distance comfortReflective leg ending with ankle zipEmbossed logos for durabilitySuggested Temperature Range: 4 to 16 Degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
