Castelli Endurance W Bibshort

Every feature in the Castelli Endurance Woman’s Bib-short is designed for long distance comfort. Castelli’s top-of-the-line Progetto X² Air Donna seamless seat pad has been perfected after countless testing to determine how to best design a seat pad that keeps a woman comfortable on consecutive endurance rides. The layer closest to skin is soft and it’s designed to fit a woman’s seat area as she shifts her weight. The seamless construction helps avoid chafing and the perforated foam backing allows airflow to keep a woman dry and fresh even as she approaches mile 100. The padding is also designed specifically for a woman’s body. The thickest padding is placed in the most sensitive areas, and it thins out gradually to ensure comfort. In the highly sensitive ishial and perineum pressure areas, perforated viscous padding provides that extra cushioning for guaranteed comfort over long distances. The Endurance Evolution fabric is less compressive than the fabrics uses in Castelli Aero Race Shorts. It’s soft while providing good compression and excellent moisture management. The long-distance comfort is ensured while not compromising speed at high intensity moments. The bib-shorts fit close to body without being race tight. The GIRO³ leg gripper keeps the shorts in place with a soft touch. On the long endurance rides, you’ll benefit from Castelli’s drop-tail bib construction. You can cross the floating wider bib straps because they stretch long enough so you can take a bathroom break without having to take off your jersey and bibs; definitely an advantage for a woman cyclist who traditionally had to remove all her clothing for a bathroom break. Every feature in the Castelli Endurance Woman’s Bib-short is designed for a woman cyclist who commits to riding long distances.
