Castelli constructed the Men's Free Bibshort from a combination of proprietary fabrics and strategically placed each to enhance your performance. Action fabric at the saddle contact point feels extremely soft yet resists abrasion. Energia fabric on the sides and back provides horizontal stretch, immediate return, and non-restrictive muscle support. Its ribbed knit surface aids in aerodynamics. On the front and lower back of the Free Bibshort, Castelli used Breathe fabric for, you guessed it, breathability. All-over Prosecco treatment disperses water droplets so they can evaporate quickly, and flat-lock stitching and seamless inner legs improve comfort.
Bottom Line: Pedal past the finish line wearing the Castelli Men's Free Bibshort.
To all, when in doubt with any Castelli product, SIZE UP. You won't regret it!
I have these & they rock! I rode them through the 206 miles of LOTOJA, and my tate lives to tell about it! Also, great for hot climate, as you don't get the "clammy abs" with these because there is not a double layer over your abs. (Jersey & Bib material)
Why didn't Castelli think of this design years ago?
When you get these, grab the chamois with your hand and notice that your had actually cools off. A Castelli rep told me this was fabric designed first for astronauts - not sure, but it is wonderful. When I worked in a shop these were easy to sell b/c people were so amazed at the heat wicking chamois. Treat yourself to a pair of these shorts. Only warning I have is to say don't let your wife wash them with red t shirts unless you want to look like a giro winner - my lovely white shorts are pink now.
Great product! Had to buy two pairs before I got the right size. I normally wear a Large and had to go to the XXL to get a great fit. Great in the heat as I ride during the day in Texas. Tried other brands but this is the best. Worth the money!
