Castelli Claudio Cycling Bib Shorts STAFF PICK

 Castelli Claudio Nanoflex Bib ShortRevolutionary NanoFlex Technology sets a Whole New Standard for Winter Riding Attire.NOTE: Castelli clothing tends to run small; we strongly recommend ordering one size larger than a traditionally-sized American cut.Orders over $70 qualify for free U.S. shipping.Newly introduced NanoFlex fabric, exclusively engineered by Castelli, is taking the cycling world by storm. Extensively tested by professional bike racers, including members of the Cervelo Test Team, these cycling bibshorts have proven to be worth their weight in carbon for their ability to repel water and block out the cold.Roger Hammond and Carlos Sastre both testify: "This new water-repellent fabric not only deflects the water drops, it insulates and wicks the moisture away quickly so I don't get that cold, clammy feeling any longer. The trick? Coat NanoFlex stretch with millions of tiny silicone nano-filaments to create the most water-repellent fabric known to man (or woman); add an insulating layer of warm air trapped between the skin and fleecy interior to keep the cyclist warm, without excess bulk; then stir vigorously, watching in disbelief as droplets of water bead and roll off the surface, rather than permeating the outer membrane and soaking through. While not 100% waterproof, it's an amazingly water-repellent fabric and well worth the investment in your comfort, performance, and long-range training goals. Key features include:
Optimal temperature range: between 50- 64 degrees Fahrenheit.
Castelli cycling apparel is designed to hug all the curves of your body; we recommend ordering a size larger than you typically would for an American-sized cut.

One other note, the Claudio bib shorts feature Castelli's Kiss 3 pad. I have tried the top of the line Progetto X2 pad from Castelli this year but I hadn't tried the Kiss. The pad in these bibs shorts were very comfortable and I rode up to 80 miles and didn't experience any discomfort. I was amazed at how much I liked these bibs. The Claudio bibs match up with Castelli's Nanoflex Arm, Knee and Leg Warmers.
