Comfort and speed are two things that triathletes always seek. Being aerodynamic while ensuring ease of movement across triathlon disciplines is something the Castelli Free Tri 2 Shorts have been designed to do.The speed comes from Instadry Speed fabric, which is naturally feather light, slow to absorb water, and cut to offer an anatomic fit that will support you in all the right places. The streamlined effect is further enhanced by the fact that these shorts have a fastener for your Free Speed 2 Race Top or Free Tri 2 Sleeveless Top to clip into, so the garments will act as one throughout the swim and bike segments but can be unclipped for better airflow and agility during the run. Meanwhile, the back pocket is flat enough to let air and water stream past it freely, yet large enough to keep a gel close at hand for a timely energy boost.Comfort is achieved through flatlock seams that ensure the whole short is smooth and a pleasure to wear, along with the GIRO4 leg grippers that will hold the legs firmly but lightly in place as you push on the pedals or pound the ground. These shorts also feature the renowned KISS Tri seat pad, which offers ample cushioning to keep you feeling great on your bike, whether on race day or in training, but with minimal bulk, so that you’ll barely notice it’s there during the swim and run. After you’ve left the water, you’ll mount the bike ready to roll thanks to the pad’s extra fast drying foam.Key features: Instradry Speed fabric sheds water ,Free construction and flat lock stitching result in a comfy anatomic fit,Longer legs improve aerodynamics,SnapLock fastener clips jersey into place for swim and bike,KISS Tri seat pad is slim but artfully padded for maximum cycling comfort ,GIRO4 leg gripper keeps legs lightly in place ,Weight: 129g (M).
