 Castelli Body Paint Cycling Bib Shorts - Save $90 NOW!"Just wanted to give you some feedback about the shorts ...... for me, they are perfect!" - Heinrich Haussler, Cervelo Test TeamNOTE: Castelli clothing tends to run small; we strongly recommend ordering one size larger than a traditionally-sized American cut.PODIUM WINNER! Editors' Choice, Bicycling Magazine, November 2011 issue Editorial Review from Bicycling Magazine, April 2010 issue From Bike Radar Review, May 14, 2010 When writing about cycling clothing it's often tough to convey the feel of the product. Castelli's Body Paint Bibshorts are so unobtrusive to your body that they feel as if you're wearing nothing at all. A single piece of Power Stretch Lycra eliminates seams and covers your body as if it was painted on. Made of Giro++ elastic fabric, the shoulder straps fit differently to those on other bibs. Castelli has removed as much material as possible from the front of the stomach and upper torso area, so that instead of rising vertically from the waist to the middle of the shoulder, the straps curve from the outside of the hips and around your chest to leave more of the chest uncovered. Made of white fabric, the straps are light and cool on warmer days.
Tested by the Cervelo Test Team, the Progetto X2 seat pad will already had more than 500,000 kilometers of testing before it reached the market this year. Made with 10 separate components, and with 12 different phases in the manufacturing process, the X2 Progetto has been in development for nearly 3 years.

"These bibs have a highly refined fit. Made with only two spandex panels (others use 10 or more), they stretch comfortably around our bodies. The straps are a gossamer material that seem to disappear. The chamois is excellent, though not preferred by riders who like a lot of cushion. "
"In contrast to the multipanel concept, these bibs are made from one continuous piece of monofilament Power Stretch Lycra. The design creates a just-right fit with no chafing. Testers claimed to feel muscle compression and said these are among the most comfortable shorts they've tried—we also liked the defined, shape-flattering cut. The chamois has three ultrathin gel inserts located in "viscous comfort zones" to integrate discomfort-free with most saddles."
4.5 out of 5 stars. "Innovative, lightweight, comfortable; price is the only downside...they really do represent a radical design departure."
