Castelli FREE AERO RC PRO Bib Shorts : BLACK/WHITE

Originally introduced in 2007, the Castelli Free Aero Race Pro remain Castelli's top-of-the-line race bib shorts, offering an unparalleled level of comfort, even if you never pin on a number.

 

Through 15 years of development and iteration, these bib shorts have won three Tours de France, three Giri d'Italia, San Remo, Roubaix, Liège, and Lombardia, and have become Castelli's best selling product because they're simply the best damn bibshorts.

 

Starting with the best pad Castelli makes, the Progetto X2 Air, with it's seamless design, dual-density foam, strategically-placed gel pads, and soft Skin Care layer on top, there is no more comfortable way to spend hours in the saddle. Castelli then wraps this in their Forza 2 fabric with 32% high modulus Lycra for outstanding muscle support and a level of compression that would make Goldilocks jealous. Patterned perfectly to reduce seams, the Free Aero Race Pro bib shorts are constructed out of a simple FIVE panels, compared to the 10 panels of the previous generation. Minimized open weave straps allow for maximum airflow to keep you cool, but with a reinforced yoke that ensures they stay in place, and a convenient radio pocket at the center back.

 

Castelli then placed it's most revolutionary change at the end, literally. After 28 prototypes and the most extensive test program ever, The Free Aero Race Pro can proudly boast that they are the first high-end short that don't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep it in place, making them the most comfortable shorts ever created.

 

The perfect mix of comfort and speed, engineered for top-level racing, the Free Aero Race Pro are the most comfortable shorts on the planet, perfect for every ride and every rider.
