The Nano Flex Pro Race Bibshort is the latest iteration of Castelli’s Omloop thermal short.Taking inspiration from pro riders cutting down knee warmers at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad so they ran to just above the knee, the Omloop was cut longer than normal bibshorts with an extra 10cm of fabric adding a lot of warmth, while also doing away with the need for restrictive gripper elastic. This new bibshort take the same idea but with an updated design for even greater versatility.The Nano Flex Pro Race Bibshort is made from Castelli’s Nano Flex 3G fabric. This offers the same warmth, softness, and breathability as the fabric used in the original Omloop but it is also water repellent. So now this short ideal for cool and dry days, but it is also superb for wet weather.Reduced seaming eliminates points where water can enter the short and minimises abrasion. The mesh bibs don’t add warmth so you can dress your upper body for the conditions without worrying about moisture build up.The bibshort uses Castelli’s Progetto X2 seat pad. This pad features two isolated layers that work in tandem with your body and saddle to eliminate friction while still offering substantial cushioning where it’s needed most.It’s still a pro tool: this short is identical to the mode supplied to Team Ineos.

The C7 Long Distance Bib Shorts+ make use of a knitted 4-way stretch material with an ultra-fine gauge giving you wonderful freedom of movement and an extremely soft and comfortable sensation against the skin. The fabric also wicks away sweat remarkably quickly to leave you feeling dry at all times and thanks to its quick-drying characteristic it will never feel damp and clammy even after an epic ride in warm conditions. Wide leg-grippers, with silicone grippers, give the shorts a snug fit but spread pressure evenly for a barely-there feel. Central Torso Architecture For their new C7 range, Gore Wear has developed a brand new concept for the design and engineering of their cycling shorts, known as Central Torso Architecture, which sees the shorts anchored solidly in place in three key areas, the thigh, lower back and shoulders. The result of the Central Torso Architecture are shorts that hold firm across the centre of the torso when you adopt an aggressive riding position and the pad remains firmly in place so it can't cause rubbing but when you jump out of the saddle for sprints, powering up hills and diving into corners you'll enjoy amazing freedom of movement. Fabian's Favourite Features With Fabian Cancellara's input, Gore has given the shorts wide, flat-lay bib straps and a leg design that minimises seams leading to shorts that drape over the thighs perfectly, with optimal stretch for compression and comfort. Inside the shorts, an EXPERT Long Distance borrows its overall design from the Race pad but with the addition of more pressure-resistant foam, it's even more supportive in a wide range of riding positions, making it perfect for your long-distance rides. The pad is attached to the shorts with minimal stitching and reduced seams, eliminating chafing while the GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Cup adds windproof protection around the most sensitive areas of the pad enhancing comfort considerably. If you love nothing more than cycling towards faraway places or taking on big loops on local roads then you'll be amazed at the comfort of the C7 Long Distance Bib Shorts+. Every detail considered to ensure you finish your ride as comfortably as you started it.

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.

Castelli Free Aero RC Bib TightsAs you seek fitness gains during winter, building a strong aerobic base ready for spring and summer, you'll really appreciate the high-performance comfort, flexibility, water-repellence and warmth the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Tights offer. The key to the success of the Free Aero RC Bib Tights is the use of two types of Castelli's own highly functional Nano flex materials. For most of the tights, Castelli deploys their Nano Flex 3G fabric. With a luxuriously soft fleece inside, you'll enjoy the utmost level of warmth as temperatures drop. It's flexible too, allowing for unrestricted pedalling while excellent breathability prevents you from getting too sweaty during high-intensity efforts. Not only that, but it also keeps most of the wind out and the nanotechnology water-repellent finish is just right to fend off drizzly rain. Meanwhile, lighter-weight Nano Flex stretch-woven fabric is used for the lower legs. A lightly brushed inner is warm but it's also good at regulating temperature to prevent overheating. As with the upper, a water-repellent finish prevents the chilly effect across the shins from spray thrown up from wet roads. Simplicity and functionality are key features of the rest of the tights. Minimalist bib straps will soon disappear from your mind while raw-cut ankle ends remove the need for zippers while still keeping a firm fit and working well with overshoes.Men's Progetto X² Air Seamless Seat PadThe pro-level Progetto X² Air Seamless Seat Pad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance road rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed in 3-layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available.Features:Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% ElastaneNano Flex 3G fabric from waist to knee for soft warmth with maximum stretch and water repellencyNano Flex stretch woven fabric with brushed fleece inside at lower leg for splash protection on wet roadsStretchy bottom of leg with raw-cut edge means ankle zipper is not necessaryMinimalist bib straps, as found on the Free Aero RC Bibshort, don’t add extra bulkRear pocket at bottom of bib strapsReflective tabs on back of legsMen's Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad for long hours in the saddleSuggested Temperature range: 2 to 12 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
