The Castelli Free Aero RC Pro Bib Shorts are the latest reincarnation of Castelli’s all-time best-selling model, known for doing everything well. Engineered as fast, top-level racing bib shorts, they expertly combine luxury with speed, being built around Castelli’s best seat pad, the Progetto X² Air seamless.Constructed with two densities of foam and gel pads that absorb vibrations and improve ride quality, not to mention a soft upper layer that moves with the skin, this pad offers superb long-distance comfort. Half the number of panels in the short portion means less seams, making these bib shorts easier to wear than ever, as do the minimalist, breathable mesh bib straps, constructed with an open weave and narrow coverage for maximum airflow. There’s also a convenient mesh pocket in the centre back for nutrition and other essentials. Meanwhile, after 28 prototypes and their most extensive testing programme ever, Castelli has succeeded in creating a raw cut leg ending that stays put without grippers – their most comfortable ever. Also sporting a forgiving, raw cut waist and made from super-light, stretchy Forza 2 fabric that simultaneously supports and compresses the muscles, with reflective piping down the back of the legs, the Free Aero RC Pro Bib Shorts pair cutting edge performance with supreme comfort, making them one of Castelli’s most impressive offerings.

The Nano Flex Pro Race Bibshort is the latest iteration of Castelli’s Omloop thermal short.Taking inspiration from pro riders cutting down knee warmers at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad so they ran to just above the knee, the Omloop was cut longer than normal bibshorts with an extra 10cm of fabric adding a lot of warmth, while also doing away with the need for restrictive gripper elastic.

It provides a performance edge over two-piece tri outfits while offering the same levels of comfort.Its super-light Velocity Rev2 main body fabric ensures a great fit, maximising your freedom of movement when the suit is worn under a wetsuit or swimsuit, while reduced seaming along the legs helps you to cut through water.

The run is where you’ll most appreciate the muscle support provided by the shorts and the GIRO4 flat leg grippers, which will keep the legs firmly in place as you pound along. The Castelli Sanremo front opening will also come into its own. Its accessible position means you that you will be able to open it part way, to enjoy a cool breeze on warm days or when you’re putting in serious effort, or all the way if you need to relieve yourself.Plus, in the wider context of the race, the front opening makes it easier to bend in comfort during the cycling portion, but still stretch out straight and tall during the swim and run sections.
