Castelli Velocissima 2 Short

The Castelli Velocissima 2 Woman’s Short is a must for the woman cyclist who needs comfortable shorts for those long endurance base rides or a woman who has to mount her bike on a trainer for an hour just to get in a workout when it’s cold or dark outside. The cycling shorts are easy to put on and take off and amazingly comfortable when worn by a woman pedaling her bike. The Endurance Evolution fabric provides mild compression of the working muscles. The compression creates a smooth surface for airflow and it stimulates blood flow to speed up recovery. Air moves through and ventilates the fabric which dries sweat instantly. The Velocissima 2 shorts keep you feeling great on the bike whether you are out for a casual ride around the neighborhood or you want to challenge yourself up a long climb over a mountain or even when your competitive nature comes out in a fast training race. Treated with a matte finish, the bib-shorts are not only designed for performance, they look great. Small details such, as eliminating stitching in the waist, maximize comfort. At the leg endings, a raw-cut edge with vertical silicone strips keeps the shorts in place without creating the “sausage” effect. Every portion of the bib-short feels soft while at the same time providing a next-to-skin surface for aerodynamics. The woman’s-specific KISS Air² seat pad is designed for a woman’s body as she shifts her weight in and out of the saddle. A woman has larger and broader hips. In order to accommodate for the difference of shape between men and women, Castelli shaped the seat pad specifically to fit a woman’s body. The layer closest to skin has wider padding placed in just the right places so it moves with a woman’s body and protects from the chafing against saddle as well as from the seat trauma that can result when riding for miles over bumpy roads. More air has been added to the seat pad which makes it more breathable. More breathable means it stays dry and keeps a woman’s seat from overheating. The lightweight mesh bibs dry instantly and provide the final feature that ensures a woman feels great on her long bike rides in warm and cool weather.
