Velocissima 2 Bibshort — endurance ready
The Castelli Women's Velocissima 2 Bibshort is the midrange performance short, great for a long endurance ride or a quick hour workout indoors or out.
Castelli's Endurance Evolution fabric is a high-modulus, very matte Lycra® fabric that feels extremely dry while providing just the right amount of compression. The waist construction eliminates stitching and elastic and lies completely flat. The raw-cut edge with vertical silicone strips on the leg is just like the top-of-the-line Premio shorts and keeps the shorts in place without the pressure that creates the dreaded sausage effect.
A great short needs a great seat pad, and the women's-specific KISS Air2 pad will keep you comfortable without being too bulky.
Features:
Endurance Evolution fabric for a matte finish with high-modulus stretch
Raw-edge leg ending eliminates sausage effect
Vertical silicone strips hold leg ending in place
High-visibility reflective patches at back of leg
Mesh bib straps
Women's-specific KISS Air2 seat pad for long-distance

Great bib
Purchased these for my wife. She was having discomfort from her regular bike shorts. These have helped tremendously. Great product. I would say to make sure and check the size requirements because we believe they run small. Excellent purchase and as always got the product super fast from bike tires direct.com

They work
Nice material, comfortable, and good protection. Cons: no easy access for restrooms and the leg cuffs tend not to lay flat when standing.

Love the length but runs a tad smaller
I was looking for bib shorts which are longer than usual shorts. This fit my need perfectly. I usually wear a M in castelli and ordered a M but it's slightly too snug. I still wear them but it's a little bit difficult to get in and out. Usually let bands in most shorts feel very tight for me and I'm this shirts it is not constrictive while riding! Love the chamois. It is the best shorts i have and my go to shorts for 100+ mile rides.
