Shorts/Bottoms

A Better Short Shorts are an obsession at Castelli. They're the most vital piece of clothing and one of the hardest to get right. Even though the Prima is our entry-level short, it shows that we won't compromise anything for comfort and performance. It starts with the women's-specific KISS Air2 seat pad. Just the name gives an idea of the process of constant improvement, which started with a soft KISS pad that was improved by making it more breathable (Air) and then improved again in the latest update to use the softest-ever top fabric (2). It's ready for your next big ride indoors or out. We've updated the fabric to the new Pro Dry Soft, which has a smooth matte finish that feels cool on the skin while being very supportive and quick to dry. We wanted this short to be just right for many years to come, so little details like the reflective patches are stitched in instead of being glued on, and the GIRO3 elastic has the grip woven right into the fabric. This attention to detail — go ahead and call it an obsession — is why Castelli's entry-level short is just a better short. - KISS Air2 seat pad for all-day comfort - Pro Dry Soft matte Lycra is sleek looking and ultra-breathable - Anatomic construction for perfect fit - Rear reflective panels - GIRO3 engineered flat leg band - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 160g

This is our midrange performance short, great for a long ride or a quick hour workout indoors or out. Our 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. At the leg ending we use a raw-cut edge with vertical silicone strips to keep the leg 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 donna pad will keep you comfortable without being too bulky. - Endurance evolution fabric for a matte finish with high-modulus stretch - Raw-edge leg ending eliminates sausage effect while silicone print holds leg in place - High-visibility reflective patches at back of leg - Soft dual-layer waistband - Women's-specific kiss air2 donna seat pad for long-distance comfort

SPEEDY ENDURANCE This is our mid-range performance short, great for a long endurance ride or a quick hour workout indoors or out. Our 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. At the leg ending we use a raw-cut edge with vertical silicone strips just like on our top-of-the-line Premio shorts to keep the leg 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. - 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 bibs - Women's-specific KISS Air2 seat pad for long-distance comfort - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 155g

The Thrill of Competition We made this short to incorporate as much technology as possible from our top-of-the-line pro-level race shorts at a more accessible price. And although it's certainly capable of weekend racing, it's also a great comfort performance short even if you never pin on a number. The main Vortex textured fabric and the Giro4 leg gripper come straight from our top Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort, while the KISS Air2 seat pad has most of the comfort of our top seat pad but represents maximum value. The intangible part that you'll appreciate most is our knack for building in perfect fit, thanks to the Castelli pattern engineering team. This is the short that brings the best of Castelli's know-how in building comfort performance shorts into an accessible product in your cycling wardrobe. - KISS Air2 seat pad for all-day comfort - Affinity Pro Lycra fabric on inside of leg for outstanding stretch and rebound - Vortex BLC textured fabric on legs for better aerodynamics - Giro4 leg gripper with raw edge for comfort and silicone stripes for grip - Flat-lock stitching - Reflective detailing on back - Mesh straps for comfort and breathability - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 173g

DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF We made this short to meet Castelli's high standards for comfort and performance in a cycling short while adding a few extra features that come in handy for riding on any surface. You'll find our normal exceptional fit as well as the Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna seat pad, which provides generous anatomically placed padding with an exceptionally soft top layer. What makes this short special is the extremely durable Unlimited Lycra fabric. It has higher abrasion resistance and tear resistance while not compromising on stretch, moisture management or comfort. In addition, we use double-layer side panels for the old track rider's trick of fabric-sliding-on-fabric should you fall. This short isn't really meant to be indestructible, but it significantly increases the chances that sliding out on gravel will mean you need to just brush yourself off rather than having to buy a new pair of shorts. That second layer on the side panel also makes for convenient side pockets, with a flap over the top to prevent the contents from falling out. For added convenience while riding on and off road, you have two mesh pockets on the lower back that compress gear next to your body to keep it from bouncing around. This short adds durability and storage without compromising comfort for unlimited amounts of fun. - Made for fast riding on unlimited terrain - 200 g/m2 nylon/Lycra fabric with best-in-class abrasion and tear resistance - 2 mesh rear pockets built into mesh bib straps - Double-layer side panels reduce abrasion if you fall, while also creating 2 useful side pockets - Raw-cut leg ending with vertical silicone grip strips to hold leg in place - Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna seat pad for extra padding - 15°-32°C / 59°-90°F - Weight: 203g

Castelli's entry-level short still needs to be an amazing short in order to carry the scorpion logo.

The main story of this short is the use of our renowned top-of-the-line progetto x2 air donna seamless seat pad in a mostly traditional short, but in fact every little detail has been obsessed over to ensure your comfort on your next long endurance ride. A great pad is useless without great fit. The seams are placed around the hip area to create a perfect shape on the bike. The endurance evolution fabric has a soft hand while providing good compression and excellent moisture management. And it's all held in place with the amazingly comfortable giro3 leg gripper. On your long endurance rides you'll especially appreciate castelli's drop-tail bib construction. The wider bib straps are free floating so you can cross them in front or back. They pull tight enough to keep your shorts in place, but when the need arises they stretch long enough that you can take a bathroom break without having to remove your jersey and bibs. This short offers exceptional value and is ready to deliver lasting comfort on your longest rides. - Endurance evolution fabric provides optimum muscle support and feels drier in nearly all conditions - Anatomic cut for perfect on-bike fit - Bib straps can cross in front or back and are extra elastic, allowing short to be pulled down for pee stops without removing bibs - Women's-specific progetto x2 air donna seamless seat pad for even greater comfort and improved airflow - Giro3 leg grippers lie flat

The Entrata Bibtight reflects the same obsessive drive for function, comfort and performance seen in all our tights, combined with fabrics and components that were top of the line a few years ago. Our Thermoflex fabric was considered a breakthrough, the best you could get, until a decade ago when we developed Nano Flex and added water repellency. If you don't ride in cold, wet conditions you'll appreciate the luxurious warmth and stretch of this fabric. The tight has minimal seams for comfort, and our KISS Air2 seat pad features generous padding and quite possibly the softest surface fabric in the business. It's everything you need to comfortably enjoy dry winter rides. - Thermoflex fabric for warmth and comfort - KISS Air2 seat pad is so good it's the choice of some of our pro riders - Mesh bib straps - Ankle zippers for easy on/off - Reflective logo below knee - Reflective flap over ankle zipper for extra visibility
