 Castelli Free Aero Race Cycling Bibshort Team VersionFree your mindAnd we all know what follows! The Castelli Free Aero Race bibshort will take away any worry or concerns you may have about your comfort and support, for many a carefree hour in the saddle. This leaves you able to concentrate fully on the job in hand and enjoy every pedal stroke just as you should. Going up against premium offerings from 18 different brands in Cycling Plus magazine's July 2011 poll, Castelli's Free Aero Race Bibshort broke away from the pack and left the others trailing in it's wake. A well-deserved result for all the effort and care that goes into producing such a garment. All the constant and ongoing improvement, helped by 4 years of ProTour testing, has brought the Free Aero Race to a standard that makes it hard to now improve upon. However, there are a couple of very useful upgrades to the Free Aero Race for this year.The Free Aero Race still uses the same three different fabrics in it's construction. Action micro fabric in the saddle contact area ensures durability, whilst a lighter weight Energia micro fabric on the sides and back provides excellent stretch and return for fit, compression and muscle support. The Breathe micro fabric on the front of the short enhances breathability to keep you cool and comfortable. To prevent chaffing the Free Aero Race features no inner leg seam. The upgrades for this year come by way of the new improved Progetto X2 Air seatpad, with it's refined shape and perforations in the foam layer of the pad to increase airflow and reduce drying time. The new Giro3 single-layer engineered leg gripper provides a sure grip, seamless comfort and lies completely flat against the skin for a clean, aerodynamic edge. Free Aero Race Bibshort features:
Four fabrics provide technical attributes that set the Free Aero Race apart from the rest
Free Aero Race bibs and shorts feature Castelli's proprietary Energia, Breathe, and Action fabrics, with the bibstrap constructed in cool, breathable mesh. Energia is a Power Lycra with horizontal stretch that supports the muscles and aids in recovery. LycraPower® has been scientifically proven to: Energia fabric also has a ribbed knit surface. Just as the dimples on a golf ball help it to slice through the air, similar irregular surface technology also improves aerodynamics in the world of cycling clothing and aids with the rider's ability to slice through the wind.
Breathe micro fabric is a power lycra which has an open weave design, allowing for increased airflow and faster evaporation from within the garment. This will greatly assist with you keeping cool, dry and comfortable, no matter how hard you are working. To maintain comfort and provide durability, all seams on the Free Aero Race are 4-needle flat-lock stitched.
The Bib on the Free Aero race is designed to be more open in the chest and abdomen. This maximises cooling, helps avoid overheating, and makes the whole garment feel less restrictive and more 'free' in this area - it's where the Free Aero Race gets it's name! The bib front is also ever-so-slightly lower-slung, so it gives a little more freedom when taking a nature break too. The Team and Kit versions of the Free Aero Race Bibshort come with a radio/electronics pocket at the rear of the bib upper.

Giro3 Single-Layer Engineered Leg Grippers on the Free Aero Race Bibshort
Instead of stitching a silicone leg elastic band to the leg of the short, Castelli knit the grip material directly into a 2 inch deep single layer of fabric at the base of the leg. This is then 4-needle flat-lock stitched to the hem for added comfort, with durability. This 2 inch gripper band has a more gentle compression than traditional leg grippers, whilst securely holding the short in place. This means that it will not bind, or leave that crease you can get on your legs after hours of wear. The bottom of the leg has a clean-cut edge that will lie flat against the skin, for aerodynamic benefit. This style of leg gripper will still works well with your leg warmers on those cooler days.
Contrasting Castelli wordmarks are sublimated onto the gripper, and reflective tabs are included at the rear of each leg.
