The Premio Black Bib Shorts are engineered to deliver premium long-distance comfort, strategically using the latest fabric technology to create a short that delivers big on comfort, support, speed and durability.The first thing that is notable about the Premio is what is missing: the seams and panels. This is because Castelli has created a new fabric that is woven to match the needs of various parts of the body, offering unrivalled comfort and support. The lower leg has a raw-cut ending with silicone backed yarn to keep the shorts in place, while the four-way stretch fabric in the thigh provides just the right amount of muscle support.The premium fabric extends into the back and is perforated for ventilation. Around the pelvis the fabric is slightly thicker to offer compression, keeping Castelli’s top-of-the-line Progetto X2 seat pad in place, and avoiding any transparency issues.Key FeaturesPremium bib shorts for all-conditions,Gradient stretch woven fabric for support where you need it,Woven fabric that weighs 30% less than comparable knit fabrics,Perforated back bib panel and lie-flat bib straps,Integrated gripper elastic at the leg endings,Laser-etched logos,Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad,14° – 38°C / 57° – 100°F,Weight: 156g (Small).

These are ideal for riders who don’t let a little cold get in their way, or for riders who appreciate dressing warm in cool conditions.The tights achieve their warmth and protection through a combination of fabrics. The front of the tights completely blocks out the wind and the cold thanks to GORE-TEX INFINIUMÔ WINDSTOPPER® X-fast fabric. Castelli’s Nano Flex 3G fabric on the seat and lower back provide protection from any road spray and its Thermoflex fabric on the back of the thighs brings ample warmth and stretch.You might associate mesh bib straps with summer bib shorts, but Castelli has used them here as they hold minimal moisture. This will help your jacket and base layer work their best and ultimately keep you dry and more comfortable for longer.These winter cycling tights use Castelli’s KISS Air2 seat pad. This pad offers just the right amount of padding whilst maintaining great moisture management properties.

We made this short to meet Castelli's high standards for comfort and performance in a cycling short while adding a few extra features that come in handy for riding on any surface. You'll find our normal exceptional fit as well as the KISS Air2 seat pad, which provides generous anatomically placed padding with an exceptionally soft top layer.What makes this short special is the extremely durable Unlimited Lycra® fabric. It has higher abrasion resistance and tear resistance while not compromising on stretch, moisture management or comfort.In addition, we use double-layer side panels for the old track rider's trick of fabric-sliding-on-fabric should you fall. This short isn't really meant to be indestructible, but it significantly increases the chances that sliding out on gravel will mean you need to just brush yourself off rather than having to buy a new pair of shorts.That second layer on the side panel also makes for convenient side pockets, with a flap over the top to prevent the contents from falling out.For added convenience while riding on and off road, you have two mesh pockets on the lower back that compress gear next to your body to keep it from bouncing around,This short adds durability and storage without compromising comfort — for unlimited amounts of fun.Key Features:Made for fast riding on unlimited terrain,200 g/m2 nylon/Lycra® fabric with best-in-class abrasion and tear resistance,2 mesh rear pockets built into mesh bib straps,Double-layer side panels reduce abrasion if you fall, while also creating 2 useful side pockets,Raw-cut leg ending with vertical silicone grip strips to hold leg in place,KISS Air2 seat pad for long-distance comfort,Weight:200 g.
