Castelli Free Aero RC Bibshort

The Free Aero RC Bib-short is Castelli’s top race bib-short, which also makes it amazingly comfortable for any cyclist-- racer, or weekend warrior. Castelli has been working on perfecting their top race bib-short for the past 15 years. Over these 15 years, Castelli’s best race bib-short has won three Tour de Frances, three Giro d’Italias, one Vuelta and one Milan San Remo. The Free Aero RC has gained such popularity to become the best-selling piece of cycling clothing in the history of Castelli. It provides what every cyclist wants; he wants to feel great on the bike. The design starts with the seat pad. The Progetto X² Air seamless seat pad has a complex design to ensure a cyclist stays comfortable on short, high-intensity rides and races in the summer to long distance base training rides in the colder months. The soft, ventilated skin layer stays dry. Body moisture gets pulled away from your body through a four-way stretch, seamless layer that adjusts to the shape of a body in motion. The padding’s thickness changes depending on where a cyclist needs the most protection. Perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ishial and perineum pressure areas. By varying the thickness, a rider feels protected without excess bulk; the seat pad is one of the most important features designed into the Free Aero RC Bib-short. Of course, the fabrics made by Italy’s best fabric supplier, are supremely comfortable. The Forza fabric on the inner leg is made with 38% Lycra® for a perfect fit. No short will snag or rub against a cycling seat no matter how many hours spent pedaling on a bike. The Vortex fabric on the side panels is dimpled for aerodynamics. Air flows smoothly over the surface. The five panels, cut to create a close-fitting pair of bib-shorts, are seamed together with seamless flat stitching which feels just as smooth against skin as does the surface with no seams. The waist fits multiple body types thanks to a raw cut edge that allows more of a stretch. The shorts are held in place with the latest version of Castelli’s seamless flat Giro leg gripper. No elastic will chafe skin. Another performance enhancing feature is compression from the bib-shorts that helps support working muscles. A cyclist feels supported in the Free Aero RC Bib-short. The bib-straps are made with minimal material and reinforced yokes to ensure you won’t even notice the straps when you ride your bike. One more feature guaranteeing comfort. Rear mesh pocket has been added at the back for extra storage room and visibility has also been added into the shorts with reflective piping on back of the legs.
