Description Castelli has spent literally decades working on a bib that is gently compressive while never binding and in using Forza fabric, the Premio 2 bibs are just about as comfortable as bibs get. The Body Paint inspired build pattern not only reduces the number of seams but also strategically places them where they wont rub or break all while maintaining a great fit. New this year is an update to the renowned Progetto X2 Air Seamless chamois. A new skin care layer has been incorporated which is not only softer but also stretchier than previous iterations resulting in an incredibly comfortable ride.
Note: Castelli apparel is designed with a performance cut that often runs smaller than that of other manufacturers. Consider sizing-up one size to ensure a comfortable fit — e.g., if you normally wear a Medium, select a Large in Castelli. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Comfort and support
This is the best Castelli yet (Ive had many over the years). I cycle 10k miles per year going on two decades. These shorts are compressive, keep everything comfortably in place, yet just disappear. I find the padding to be outstanding and not at all bulky. I found these to be so good I immediately purchased a second pair and look forward to retiring all the rest.

Not bad, but pricey
I'm 5'9 and 165 and bought Med. They fit tight, but not restrictive. The straps are great and lay flat. The coverage comes up high on the sides and about belly button height on the front, which suits me. The vertical leg grippers are awesome and do their job well, even if you're not a leg-shaver. The fabrics are thicker than usual, but they are quality. I think these would be hot to ride in above 80 or so.
The big disappointment is the pad. Yes, it's good for Castelli, but not a great value for the price. It floats on it's own panel which is kinda cool, but it isn't really better than bibs that don't have this design. The pad is dense, but for me, it's a 40 mile pad at best.
