While the Unlimited Ultimate Liner Bib Shorts may be hidden under baggy shorts, Castelli have still applied the exact same level of performance and detail as for their race shorts. At the heart of the shorts is their renowned Progetto X² Air seamless seat pad. With dual-density foam and gel pads providing support and damping, it's as good for rough trails as it is for smooth roads. Thanks to a carefully designed hip area, using compressive Force fabric, as you move, manoeuvre and pedal, the pad remains firmly in place, preventing chafing. Seeing as these bibs are to be used under baggies, the legs are kept light and airy to maintain comfort. Perforated fabrics and the gauze-like GIRO Air elastic grippers allow for cooling airflow and for your skin to breathe. Meanwhile the upper is also minimalist in design. Open-knit bib straps let the air flow about the body easily while the back is kept narrow to reduce coverage. A back yoke keeps the straps in the right place and prevents bunching. The final flourish is the inclusion of 3 storage pockets. These can be found to the back, sitting just above the waist height of your baggy shorts. An ideal place to stash essentials when you're wearing a loose-fitting t-shirt/cycling jersey.
The Women's Endurance Bib Shorts elevate traditional cycling shorts to a whole new level of long-distance cycling comfort. Starting with the fabric, this is Castelli’s Endurance Evolution material. Incredibly soft against the skin, it’s also excellent at dealing quickly with moisture while also providing your hard-working muscles with compressive support. At the end of the legs, the renowned GIRO³ leg grippers hold the shorts beautifully in place. When it comes to the fit, Castelli always excels. The Endurance 3s are no different. Seams are carefully placed around the hips to create the perfect fit on the bike. And the careful tailoring ensures you’ll enjoy excellent freedom of movement as you pedal. A soft elastic waist lies flat and high-stretch bib straps give impressive comfort too. Women's Progetto X2 Air Donna Seat Pad Inside the shorts, you’ll find Castelli’s premier Progetto X2 Air Donna seat pad, specifically made for female cyclists. This exceptional seat pad has an incredibly soft and seamless upper face material, delivering superb comfort.

The concept for the Women's Omloop Nano Bib Shorts is simple, to give you a pair of shorts with excellent thermal properties for colder weather, some extra protection from wind and rain while staying as flexible as your favourite summer cycling shorts. To achieve this Castelli use their brilliant Nano Flex 3G fabric. This high-performance fabric features a brushed inner face to trap warmth while to the outside, it repels water using a nanotechnology system. Nano Flex is also very flexible, so won't hinder your smooth pedalling. Castelli have also reduced the number of seams compared to a standard short. This gives a twofold advantage - firstly fewer seams reduce areas water can seep inside - and secondly, eliminates areas that can chafe, thus boosting comfort. Mesh bib straps allow your skin to breathe and allow you to tailor warmth via your base layer choice.
