Castelli Premio 2 W Bibshort

The Castelli Premio 2 Women’s Bib-short keeps a female cyclist comfortable on those long endurance base mile rides needed before the race season begins. Designed specifically to fit the shape of a woman’s body, the bib-shorts are a must for pre-season training or for a woman who likes to take adventures on her bike and explore new roads. Castelli’s high-stretch Forza fabric is made with 38% Lycra®. The combination supports muscles without that race-tight fit. The fabric is soft and seamless eliminating unwanted friction while the mesh back circulates air to keep a woman from overheating. The porous fabric also wicks sweat. In the Premio a woman cyclist dries immediately even when she is riding at high intensities. The bonded flat bib straps fit perfectly against a woman’s body and they have extra ventilation added into the material so they also stay dry. Around the waist, a lumbar support band keeps the shorts in place as well as improves comfort when a woman rider is leaned over in the bike position. The leg grippers are made with vertical silicone that are barely felt while they ensure the shorts keep from riding up. The Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad is woman specific and Castelli’s best chamois pad. The Progetto is soft with just the right amount of padding so a woman is protected without feeling as if she were riding in diapers. The Progetto is a very lean seat pad, yet in the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, perforated viscous padding has been added to ensure a rider won’t get saddle sores as she takes on 100+ mile rides.
