Castelli Entrata Bib ShortsIf you're moving from cycling shorter distances to taking on longer challenges then the Castelli Entrata Bib Shorts are a great move up from your entry-level cycling shorts. Castelli knows a thing or two about making bib shorts, being the first to introduce Lycra® cycling shorts, anatomical seat pads and flat leg grippers. The Entrata Bib Shorts benefit from such heritage and know-how to give you shorts that provide exceptional levels of comfort and a perfect fit, even at a more entry-level price point. The Pro Dry matte Lycra® imparts just the right level of muscle compression while remaining beautifully flexible for easy pedalling. Cut in an 8-panel design, they also hug and hold in all the right places for comfort as you cycle further and faster.To the upper body, the mesh bib section wicks away sweat to leave you dry, while the Giro3 leg grippers hold the shorts in place without excessive pressure. They're made to last too, with the logos and reflective details stitched in so no peeling even after many seasons of use. Perfect.KISS Air2 Seat PadFor the Entrata, Castelli makes use of their Kiss Air seat pad, featuring many of the advances found in their range-topping Progetto X2 seat pad but at a more affordable price.

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
The Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort was developed after Chris Froome requested a set of bibshorts that would offer greater protection in the early stages of grand tours, when every rider is vying for a place at the front of the peloton and crashes are a frequent occurrence.Castelli found inspiration for the bibshorts from an old trick used by track riders. Knowing that Lycra sliding on Lycra is the best way to prevent or reduce road rash on your hip, track cyclists would wear two pairs of shorts. Castelli has taken this idea and put an extra layer of Lycra over the hip and thigh panel meaning that you get the same fabric-on-fabric shear force that you get from wearing two pairs of shorts.The extra panel adds minimal weight and is made from a layer of Castelli’s Vortex fabric. An internal layer of stretch woven fabric furthers protection and is reinforced with a ripstop grid made from Dyneema – the same yarn used for rock climbing ropes, reinforcement in sails for the America Cup, and bullet proof vests – helping prevent the inner layer from ripping.The Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort uses the construction and components as Castelli’s tried and tested Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort that has been tested and developed over millions of kilometres in the pro peloton. A mesh bib helps you stay cool and the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad features generous padding making all-day rides no problem.The Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort was made for the pros but every cyclist knows the risk of sliding out. Whether riding on gravel or smashing your local crits the added protection of the Castelli Free Protect Race Bibshort will give you the peace of mind needed to focus fully on your riding.Key Features:Double-layer side panels for extra protection in case of a fall,Ideal for gravel riding and crit racing,Developed in response to a request from Chris Froome for bibshorts that offered greater protection against road rash,Smooth layer of Vortex fabric backed by a stretch woven fabric that features a Dyneema ripstop grid,Mesh bib construction to help you keep cool,Same construction as Castelli’s top race shorts, the Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort,Flat-lock stitching,Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad,Temperature comfort range of 15° – 32°C,Weight 203g (Large).
A lighter and cooler bibshort for more comfortable indoor training. 195 g/m2 main body Lycra® is just enough to hold everything secure without being transparent Mesh side panels allow extra ventilation Raw-cut leg endings engineered to keep leg from riding up Minimalist bib straps with monofilament open knit for breathability Progetto X2 Air Skin care layer pad. If indoor is your main training tool for the winter months, then a dedicated pair of indoor shorts will keep you cooler. The entire construction of this bibshort is focused on making it as cool, light, and airy as possible while still providing the necessary support. The main body fabric is lighter than what our race shorts use, and the side mesh panels help with additional ventilation.We use the skin care layer of our tried and tested Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad because it's sufficiently cushioned for most indoor sessions but much cooler than the full Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad from our cycling shorts. The bib straps are the lightest, most breathable we've ever made.

Castelli Insider BibshortThe Castelli Insider Bibshorts are designed specifically for all your sharply focused indoor training sessions, with a lightweight pad and quick-wicking materials to deal with the heat and sweat of a tough interval or threshold session. To deal with the heat and sweat of indoor training the Insider Bibshort, Castelli make them from their Inferno fabric. Not only is Inferno light in weight it's also very quick to wick away sweat and it's resistant to wetting out so once you're into your cool-down phase you won't begin to feel cold and clammy.
