CastelliMen's Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort(Return to Product Page)

Love these bib shorts. Great price, comfort and looks. Best option unless you can afford the Premio Black.

I have been using Castelli bibs (Body Paint 12 and Free Aero) for 10 years. I wear the large size (5'8, 150 lbs, 32 waist). The new Aero Race 4 bib-short shows Castelli's dedication to continually improve their shorts. The pad feels more substantial and comfortable when on the bike. The shell materials just fit great and feel more breathable. The grippers are vastly improved with excellent hold (vertical series of tacky stripes). The stitching on the seams and attachment point on the shoulder straps are improved- no frayed threads. I wash them in a mesh bag using detergent with no fabric softeners and dry on a towel warmer. After 20 rides all good- even the Castelli logo shows no flaking. The blue and the grey colors are subtly different than the standard black and compliment many of my team jerseys. I prefer these colors over the black. Highly recommend. JT

They are soo good! I've had a hesitancy ordering Castelli clothing online because everyone always gripes about the sizing. The first pair I bought I did size up. To be clear they still fit and I thought everyone was right but since then I've ordered a couple more bibs in my normal size medium. I'm here to say that you should order your normal size if you feel you have a slimmish build. They are snug. It takes an extra second to pull them into place while getting them on but that is how they're designed to be. The right size feels a million times better once your into a bike ride. The pad is wonderful and probably my favorite I've come across in my cycling life. For reference I'm 5'10" and 160lbs.

Size bought: Medium

These are my third pair of Castelli bib shorts but my first set of Free Aero. They were an upgrade for me but I bought them on sale at a great price. I'm 5'7" at 150 pounds. Like my previous two pairs of Castelli bibs I went with the mediums. Yes, like all Castelli bibs they are really tight when I first put them on but soon after the first ride, they seem to conform to my body. Most of my rides are in the 30 to 50 mile range and the comfort of the Free Aero bibs is really great. The combination of comfort and compression kind of makes me feel like a better sand happier rider.

First time with the Progretto X2 seat pad - love it. Went with the compression version of these bibs & they are more work to get on, but after 50 miles of pedaling you can tell a difference.

These shorts are very well made as well as extremely comfortable even for women.

Super comfortable. Yes, they are expensive but they are durable. Have been riding for over 20 years, definitely the best bibshorts I've ever had. Euro sizing, I had to get one size up from most brands,

I was so impressed with my first pair.. I ordered a second. All day comfort, big climbing days.. No problem.. Just order 1 to 2 sizes if you are tall (I'm 6ft 2 inches). The suspenders are tight..

The new pad is very nice, and I like it better than the previous Castelli pads. The fit up front is much better too. Straps are comfortable and work well. I'm 5'7 132 lb and have worn medium Castelli bibs in the past but this one is a small and fits perfectly. Snug, but that's my preference.

Castelli continues to improve on the bib shorts. Cant go wrong with these. Great for century rides.

Very comfortable, but runs a little small. I probably could have gone with a XXL rather than an XL. Very light weight with good looks.

I am a fan of Castelli bibs. The fit and compression on these bibs are perfect. I am 5'9' 160lbs and ordered a medium. The reason for not giving the bibs five stars is due to the fact that the stitching was coming out before I wore them. I only realized it about two months after buying them because I ordered in the winter when they were on sale and did not get them out to wear until the spring. Thankfully they are double stitched so they are no serious issues.

Very comfortable and provide good cushion-light weight.

Great compression helps me stay in the saddle longer, riding harder. Castelli bibs have been my favorite for years, and these are the best so far!

Excellent product. As with all casteli Gear order one size up as they run small. Good shammy.

Can barely feel this chamois on my skin, and the chamois insert is comfortable. No numbness on long rides.

I ordered 4 of these bibshorts but 1 of them had a little hole near the stitching on the front right leg.

These bibs are fantastic! Comfortable and supportive for training or racing

I use the shorts for my longest rides. Very comfortable 4+ hour rides. Only negative recently is that

Castelli is making their straps a little short. I have several versions of these shorts and it seems the straps

are getting shorter with each pair. I'm a tall rider so not a problem if you are average sized.

Dependable shorts, and great for long ride. 225lb size xl.
