Castelli Tutto Nano BibshortIf you prefer the flexibility of wearing shorts when cycling during the cooler months of the year, with leg and knee warmers adding flexibility to your kit, then Castelli's warm and water-repellent Tutto Nano Bibshorts are just the ticket. The Wonders of NanotechnologyPivotal to the all-round protection offered by the Tutto Nano Bibshorts 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 thighs 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 when the speed increases or you hit the steep uphill roads. Kiss Air2 Seat PadThe 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.Whatever the weather has in store for you the Tutto Nano Bibshorts are Castelli's answer to that spring and autumn 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 insert on leg endingEmbossed logos for durabilitySuggested Temperature Range: 4 to 16 Degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Castelli Superleggera Bib ShortsCastelli have always been pioneers of cycling shorts for very hot weather. The Castelli Superleggera Bib Shorts are their very latest development, pushing fabric technology further than ever to deliver the best in lightweight hot-weather performance.Scorching PerformanceCastelli have worked from the ground up, looking at new ways to make the Superleggera Bib Shorts as light as possible, highly breathable and yet maintaining durability. To this end, they start with a unique woven fabric rather than standard knit. It's some 50% lighter than usual cycling shorts fabric and yet offers excellent muscle support and non-transparency. The woven nature also allows Castelli to grade the weight seamlessly from the top to to the leg ends - the lower part of the leg weighs a mere 90 g/m² compared to the usual 220 g/m² of standard cycling shorts. This lack of weight contributes to more comfort as temperatures rise. The shorts also absorb less moisture for greater comfort and less on-the-bike weight. At just 114grams they're very light anyway but because they absorb 30% less moisture, they remain light even as you sweat. When you're heading uphill every little bit of weight saved counts. While being barely-there light the fabric is durable and abrasion-resistant against the saddle too - though something this light won't like you hitting the tarmac so ride safe and rubber side down. The bib section of the shorts is borrowed from the Free Aero Race 4 Bib shorts for perfect support, comfort and moisture management while stretch-woven grippers keep the shorts locked in place over the thighs.Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat PadLet's look at the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad in more detail and see just why it's so incredibly comfortable. The first contact point against the skin, the upper skin-care material, is now seamless and even softer than previous versions letting you enjoy smooth and chafe-free pedalling. 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 result is intense 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. Features:Materials: 71% Polyamide, 29% ElastaneGradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum supportUltralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durabilityMinimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you coolIntegrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in placeEmbossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfersProgetto X2 Air Seamless seat padWeight: 141g (Large)Suggested Temperature range: 20 to 40 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

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).
