The Nano Flex Pro Race Bibshort is the latest iteration of Castellis 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. This new bibshort take the same idea but with an updated design for even greater versatility. The Nano Flex Pro Race Bibshort is made from Castellis Nano Flex 3G fabric. This offers the same warmth, softness, and breathability as the fabric used in the original Omloop but it is also water repellent. So now this short ideal for cool and dry days, but it is also superb for wet weather. Reduced seaming eliminates points where water can enter the short and minimises abrasion. The mesh bibs dont add warmth so you can dress your upper body for the conditions without worrying about moisture build up. The bibshort uses Castellis Progetto X2 seat pad. This pad features two isolated layers that work in tandem with your body and saddle to eliminate friction while still offering substantial cushioning whereitsneeded most. Its still a pro tool: this short is identical to the mode supplied to Team Ineos. Key Features Nano Flex 3G fabric is water repellent, stretchy and warm thanks to luxuriously soft brushed inside Reduced seams for comfort and to prevent water from entering shorts during wet rides Knee-length cut for extra warmth that doesnt require gripper elastic Highly ventilated mesh bib straps Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad for long hours in the saddle 12 20C / 54 68F Weight: 205g (Large)

The concept for the Free Aero RC Shorts is simple; use a premium seat pad, offer a refined fit with perfect muscle support and then remove everything else that’s not absolutely necessary. Whether you pin on a race number or not, the Free Aero RC are Castelli's most refined race short yet, with a fit and features that make them perfect for any cyclist. Less is More The focus of any cycling short is of course comfort, and here Castelli have taken a less is more approach. Compared to previous Free shorts there are now fewer panels, down from 10 to 5, and hence fewer seams. Highly supportive Forza 2 fabric is used to offer just the right amount of support and compression too. This all combines to give a brilliantly refined and sculpted fit, a wonderful sense of freedom during your pedal stroke and far less chance of chafing. This minimalist approach also extends to the leg grippers - or rather the lack of grippers. Instead, there are raw cut edges that feel fantastic. This has been made possible by extensive testing (28 prototypes), to get the fit and feel just right, and the support of compressive fabric. This gives an unrivalled sense of freedom and comfort that is unmatched. No more harsh elastic or irritating silicone. At the waist the raw-cut edges offer a fabulously smooth and flexible fit, letting you breathe easily and yet maintain a perfect fit. Women’s Progetto X² Air Donna Seat Pad The top-end Women’s Progetto X2 Air Donna seat pad is now better than ever. Castelli has improved the shape of the back and improved the method of stitching it in place. The result is it now sits flatter and offers greater comfort. The X2 retains its awesome ventilating perforations, keeping you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. A 3-layer component construction also features two densities of foam plus gel pads to provide progressive damping. A super-soft and stretchy next-to-skin layer, with an antibacterial finish, completes this premium pad.
When you need an extra layer of protection over your tights or pants, the Haglofs L.I.M Alpha Shorts are perfect for all kinds of adventures. Super lightweight and packable, they’re made out of a tear-resistant Pertex® Quantum Air shell fabric that supplies the ideal balance of wind protection and breathability, alongside Polartec® Alpha® insulation that gives the shorts excellent thermal management and moisture-wicking properties. If shifting conditions necessitate a quick outfit change, full side zippers also make it easy to pull them on or off. Finished with reflective elements too for added safety.
The Baseframe Shorts are all about boosting your mountain bike riding comfort. Firstly, the flexible fit from the stretch fabric allows you to pedal and move with ease. The functional fabrics also make sure sweat doesn't hang around too long either, doing a great job of wicking away the sweat you generate. Wide leg grippers keep them comfortably in place too, even as you throw your bike around the trails. They also bring you the support and comfort of a built-in Dual-Density COMP chamois. When you're on the saddle, this will ease pressure points and take out trail buzz, leaving you to enjoy your ride. Should you get caught out by a lack of grip or technical trail feature, they also feature moulded hip protection to absorb the impacts of a crash.
Kick up the dirt and conquer the roughest of terrain without compromising on comfort. The Women's XC Bib Shorts are a premium member of Assos’ offroad collection and the brand have put hours of tireless work into creating a real force of nature when it comes to mountain bike performance. The durable bib shorts utilise a ripstop, highly abrasion-resistant and breathable dyneRope fabric which is stronger than steel. The impressive dyneRope technology is situated on the outside of the legs to fend of close scrapes and gravel rash should you take a tumble. The shorts are also quick to wick away sweat too, keeping you dry as you pick up speed. Talking of speed, just because these are off-road shorts, streamlined performance hasn't been forgotten. The aeroPatterningFenomeno1 design is lifted from the fastest of their road shorts to optimise fit and airflow. Comfort is also at a premium thanks to the premium MTB-specific seat insert. Differing from your standard insert, the offroad seat pad is positioned further forward than its road counterparts, taking into account the more forward-shifted weight balance of your MTB position. Fitted with 10mm of memory foam, it adapts to your anatomy and does a brilliant job of soaking up some of the bumps and vibrations from rough terrain. Highly breathable, the Women's XC shorts keep you cool and comfortable no matter how hard you shred.
