Named after the ‘Semifreddo’ Italian dessert that's chilled but not frozen, the Women's Semifreddo DT Bib Tights excel in weather that is just that, chilly but not freezing. If it's too cold for your shorts and leg warmers yet too mild for heavyweight winter tights, these are just what you need.Warmth around the hips and over the thighs is provided by Castelli's Thermoflex fabric. It's highly flexible for easy pedalling while the cosy fleece inner holds tenaciously onto body warmth. Across the lower legs, meanwhile, Nano Flex is lighter in weight to ensure you don't overheat. It's water-repellent too, fending off spray from wet roads. You'll also enjoy the benefits of the tights when you're not on the bike.

The performance comfort tight for cool conditions when you want to cover up but not be weighed down.

Semifreddo — it's an Italian desert that's chilled but not frozen. Exactly like the conditions we designed this tight for. This tight was made for cool days when you're not quite sure if you'll be warm enough with shorts and leg warmers or if you'll overheat with a full thermal tight. In those conditions the Semifreddo is the tight you need. The thighs and hips are kept warm with our Thermoflex fabric. Soft, fleecy, and especially stretchy, it's more comfortable than shorts and warmers. The lower leg uses our thinner Nano Flex stretch woven fabric so you don't overheat. Water protection is limited to the lower legs, so wet roads aren't a problem, but this isn't your tight when rain is threatening. The Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad finishes out the comfort focus on our best tight for moderate conditions.
The Semifreddo Bib Tights gets their ‘Semifreddo’ name from an Italian dessert, one that’s chilled but not frozen. Just the kind of weather conditions they excel in. They’re the perfect tight for days too cold for shorts and leg warmers combo but too mild for full thermal winter tights. Over the thighs and around the hips Castelli have used their soft, flexible and fleecy Thermoflex fabric. As you generate body heat, the fleecy inner does a wonderful job of hugging that warmth close to the skin. The lower leg uses Castelli’s Nano Flex stretch woven fabric. Lighter in weight than the upper, it ensures you don’t overheat, and water-repellency ensures wet roads aren’t a problem either. Holding your tights comfortably but firmly in place are minimalist bib straps. Made from mesh they also allow for excellent breathability, regulating temperature as your effort levels rise and fall. Zipper-less ankles give a smooth fit and make for a better fit inside shoe covers. There are also reflective tabs to keep you visible during low-light conditions. Men’s Progetto X² Air Seamless Seat Pad The pro-level Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance road rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed in 3-layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available.
When it's time to build your aerobic base and slowly increase your winter miles despite the colder temperatures and frequent rain showers, you’ll want the superb warmth and comfort of the Free Aero RC Bib Tights to keep you company. The majority of the tights are composed of Castelli’s 3rd generation Nano Flex material. Nano Flex 3G is brushed-backed to offer luxurious warmth and with excellent stretch, it won’t restrict a fluid pedal stroke either. Not only that, but it’s also highly breathable to prevent cold sweat build-up and does a good job of blocking much of the wind. Lastly, it also features a nano-technology water-repellent finish, brushing off damp and drizzly weather conditions. To the lower part of the legs, you’ll find lighter Nano Flex stretch woven fabric. This is lightly brushed on the inside, trapping body heat. But excellent breathability prevents you from overheating. And it’s great at shrugging off spray from the road thanks to its nanotechnology water-repellent finish. Simplicity and functionality are key features of the rest of the tights. Minimalist bib straps will soon disappear from your mind while raw-cut ankle ends removes the need for zippers while still keeping a firm fit and working well with overshoes.

Renowned for product innovation, including the first consumer-available Lycra® cycling shorts to anatomical seat pads, Castelli know how to make great cycling products. And that constant push for innovation and excellence has been distilled into the Entrata 2 Bib Knickers. They’re entry-level cycling tights with high-end performance. Just right from the moment you pull them on, you'll soon be riding further and faster and more comfortably than ever before. The Pro Dry matte Lycra® provides the ideal level of compression, remains perfectly flexible for smooth pedalling and deals efficiently with sweat. Mesh bib straps ensure your upper body remains cool and fresh and the smooth Giro3 leg grippers give a smooth but firm grip of the legs. And as with every Castelli short, the fit is sublime, the 8-panel design hugging and flexing in all the right places for outstanding comfort. They're made to last too, with the logos and reflective details stitched in so no peeling even after many seasons of use. Perfect. KISS Air2 Seat Pad When you're on the bike you'll also enjoy on-the-saddle comfort from Castelli's KISS Air2 seat pad. Next to the skin, you'll enjoy the luxury of Castelli's softest-ever surface fabric, delivering immediate comfort. Seamless construction and stretch fit all but eliminate chafing as you push the watts. Next comes the dual-density, variable-thickness padding. This sees maximum density and thickness across the ischial zone, reduced thickness around the perineum and then minimum thickness at the edges. This is all wrapped up in an anatomically shaped pad for optimal comfort for any distance.
The Sorpasso RoS Bibtight from Castelli is made for long ride in the widest range of conditions. The tight features the ultra-stretchy, warm and water repellent Nano Flex 3G fabric. The fabric uses the third generation of Castellis nanotechnology fabric treatment that adds a high level of water repellency without affecting breathability, stretch or warmth. The fabric also offers a compressive fit that moves with you for all-day comfort. On the thighs and rear of the tights there are panels of Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric to provide a bit more wind protection and warmth, as well as protection from any road spray. Its not only about the fabrics. Anatomical patterning gives a bend at the knee and the hip, while seamless bib straps lie flat and hold the tights and seat pad perfectly in place so you can concentrate on your efforts. Multiple reflective panels keep you visible and YKK Camlock zippers at the ankles make for easy on and lock and a secure closure. The Bibtight 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. Key Features Rain or Shine engineering Nano Flex 3G fabric for the ideal mix of warmth, stretchy compression, softness, and water repellency Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric panel on upper front and thighs for extra warmth, and on the back to protect from road spray Anatomic cut to hips and knees Reflective inserts for visibility from behind Lie-flat elastic bib straps YKK Camlock zippers at ankles Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad for long hours in the saddle 0 12C / 32 54F Weight: 302g (Large)
Come the warmth of summer, you may still prefer some extra length in your cycling legwear. The Women’s UMA GT Summer Half Knickers C2 are just the ticket, delivering superb comfort in warmer weather. Flexible and Lightweight Comfort In order to give you tights that are highly flexible and deal with perspiration quickly, Assos turn to their technical Type.429 textile. Not only quick-wicking and breathable, but it also offers excellent muscle compression and elasticity for unrestricted pedalling. Panels of Tech Sheen Mesh also wrap the legs down to the upper calves in compressive breathability. Shaped for Comfort The women’s specific fit has been designed to offer comfort and flexibility on the bike. The Assos regularFit strikes the perfect balance between streamlined performance and all-day comfort. Ultralight leg grippers see elastic woven through the leg bands, creating a secure hold minus restriction. Around the waist and hips, Assos have created their hipClick design. This combines elastic and mesh layers that give you excellent comfort and full coverage. The design also eliminates pressure and restriction while stabilising the knickers’ body panels and locks the seat insert in place. UMA GT C2 Seat Pad The women’s specific UMA GT C2 Seat Pad offers shock-absorbing support when you’re on the saddle. 9mm of compressive foam layers keep you comfortable on endurance rides, easing pressure across the sit bones. Thermoformed shaping also reduces irritation. You’ll also benefit from the 3D Waffle design. This 3-layer perforated foam offers increased breathability and reduced weight too. Lastly, the goldenGate stitching pattern holds the insert at the front and the back but allows it to float too, moving with your body rather than against it.
