Castelli Premio 2 Bibshort

The Castelli Premio 2 Bib-short keeps a cyclist comfortable on those long endurance rides. The main fabric used in the Premio is Castelli’s high-stretch Forza fabric made with 38% Lycra© which compresses to support working muscles and provide a smooth surface for airflow. The soft fabric is seamless which eliminates friction and increases comfort. The mesh back circulates air therefore speeding up how quickly these bib-shorts dry. Extra ventilation has even been added to the bonded 2-layer bib straps that stay dry against your skin. Around the waist, a lumbar support band keeps the shorts in place as well as improves comfort when a rider is leaned over in the bike position. The leg grippers are made with vertical silicone that won’t pinch your skin but keep the short legs firmly in place as you pedal your bike. The Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad is Castelli’s best chamois pad. The cushion layer varies in density so a rider has enough protection without excess bulk. It is designed by carving away sections of a single block of uncompressed foam to create different sections of cushion. Under the most delicate ishial and perineum areas, viscous inserts have been added for maximum comfort. The padding thins out so a cyclist rides on a smooth surfaced seat pad. Every feature in the Premio 2 speaks comfort for long rides.
