WARMER CONDITIONS This is our base layer for the warmest conditions. The mesh is open to create a space on the skin for sweat to evaporate. The 10% elastane content makes it very stretchy and helps in the moisture retention so that you're always getting evaporative cooling. WHAT IT IS Our lightest and airiest base layer wicks moisture away from your skin, while the open mesh helps hold the jersey up and away from the skin. It's good for warm conditions, and some riders even like it on a hot day, as it allows airflow between the jersey and skin. PRODUCT FEATURES Magic Mesh 90% polyester, 10% Elastane wicking fabric Minimalist lightweight construction Reduced seams for maximum comfort 20°-30°C / 68°-86°F Weight:88g

The side panels and back of the sleeves are made from a tightly knit stretch fabric that provides the perfect close-to-body fit and introduces ventilation to the jacket so you dont overheat or get that boil in the bag feeling.

The Free Aero RC W Short is our top race short, which also means that its insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. Its fair to say that weve been working on this short for the past 15 years. Thats how long its been since the original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. The various versions of the Free have dressed all our pro womens teams over this time, and it also became the best-selling womens short 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 thats not absolutely necessary. |You feel Free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel Free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 Air Donna 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 because this is the first high-end short that doesnt 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 weve ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% Lycra® with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. Theres reflective piping on the back. And all logos are either stitched or embossed for durability. What It Is The perfect mix of comfort and speed.

What It Is Perfect for cool spring or autumn rides, or at the height of summer when you want sun protection.

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.

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.
