Castelli Vizio Due Women's Short Black
Performance, style and value - what a package !
Nothing is compromised here: from the top - a comfortable waistband designed to hold the shorts in place without binding. Action micro fabric is soft and stretchy, whilst providing optimum muscle support and abrasion-resistant durability. Breathe micro fabric panels at the rear of the short are shaped for a form- flattering look and provide enhanced breathability. The seams are 4-needle flat-lock stitched to maintain that comfort and durability to the garment. The popular Kiss3 Donna women's specific chamois will keep you riding comfortably for as long as you care to. Partial Giro2 grippers at the legs will stop the short from riding up, but are gentle enought to not pinch or bind. 2 rear reflective inserts on the legs add some low-light visibility.

Received 4 stars from Bike Radar Review, April 2009:
 "Women’s shorts that really deliver – outstanding fit, feel and looks. The Vizio's eight-panel cut provides a good fit and doesn't make it look like you've got a nappy in your shorts at cafe stops.
These excellent women's shorts are completed with a soft-touch front waistband which makes the lack of bib-extensions unnoticeable. Castelli only use sewn-in elastic at the back of the waistband, reducing irritation to the skin after hours of wear.
That, combined with the flat lock seams, Ypro3 chamois (which is dense but not at all bulky) and silicone leg grippers all make for a very comfortable pair of shorts, whatever your riding position.
A light and comfortable ‘affinity Lycra’ is used in an ultrashort cut style – so short that when we opened the package we wondered if they might be underwear!
This is very European in style – where suntan lines are the bane of every cyclist and turn-ups are as commonplace as they were in the Eighties. The ends of the legs can be turned up on hot days to reveal a red inner, and reflective strips to the side of the grippers are also visible when the legs are turned up."
