Castelli Free Aero RC W Short

The Castelli Free Aero RC Woman’s Short is a close-fitting, aerodynamic, and very fast woman’s cycling short. Besides speed, the Free Aero RC is also exceptionally comfortable. With over 100 + years of designing race clothing for the best bike racers in the world, Castelli has learned how to make sure a racer is as comfortable as she is fast. Castelli is one of the first cycling clothing companies to design gear specifically for a woman’s body. They started by clothing the Italian national cycling team and Paola Pezzo when she won the Olympic gold medal in mountain biking. Afterwards in 1996, Castelli made their first woman’s collection. They studied the woman’s body pedaling a bike and learned to design cycling clothing for women that is comfortable and makes them faster. Castelli used technological advances to create the fastest and most comfortable cycling clothing for the serious, committed female athlete. Forza 2, a performance compressive main fabric is combined with 32% Lycra® to create a short that streams through air with an amazingly smooth surface. The short doesn’t crease, snag on the seat, or chafe skin. Besides a highly aero and comfortable short, the compression also supports working muscles. The 5-panel construction is more comfortable than its 10-panel predecessor because it has fewer seams. Yet the existing flat seams are nearly unnoticeable along with the raw-cut edge leg ending that keeps the shorts in place without silicone grippers. Furthermore, raw cut edge at waist is also stretchy and comfortable. A woman leaned over the bike in the Free Aero Short will ride with complete ease. Castelli incorporated their best seat pad into their fastest and arguably most comfortable woman’s cycling shorts. The Progetto X² Air Donna seamless seat pad is Castelli’s long distance seat pad that has been raced in by professional racers. Designed specifically for a woman’s anatomy, the padding density varies depending on where a woman receives the most pressure from the seat. Viscous Comfort Inserts are added under the sit bones and perineal region which are the most sensitive areas. The seamless top layer is now more stretchy, softer, and cut once again for a woman’s anatomy, so she won’t chafe even on very long endurance rides. The Castelli Free Aero RC Woman’s Bib-short is a versatile short that keeps a woman comfortable on short high intensity races, longer endurance rides, and long climbs. It will keep a woman cool in hot summer weather and protect her in cool fall weather. The Free Aero RC Woman’s short is a performance pair of bib-shorts that can be comfortably worn on many different types of rides.
