Castelli Vizio Due Women's Cycling Short White
Nice shorts!
That's what you'll hear a lot when you are out and sbout on two wheels in your Vizio Dues. As the person wearing them though, you will be the one to truly know just how nice they really are !
A serious piece of women's cycling kit, the Castelli Vizio Due short is designed to give you all performance that you need, with an irresistable feel and comfort. They may well become a vice, in that you will want to ride in them all the time, but there is plenty of virtue to this fine ladies cycling short. Both the waistband and the grippers bring a delicate touch to the grip, keeping the shorts in place nicely, without any restricted feeling or binding. The back panels are shaped to give a form-flattering look to these women's specific shorts. A women's specific Kiss3 Donna seatpad will provide day-long comfort in the saddle, without any unwanted bulk or that 'wearing-a -diaper' feel. The Action Micro fabric used is super-soft against the skin, yet highly supportive to your muscles, moisture-wicking and durable. The back quarter panels are made using Breathe Micro fabric for additional cooling and breathability. The Vizios are delicate and feminine where they need to be, but at the same time strong and tough - sound familiar?

Action Micro Fabric for soft stretch, with perfect muscle support.
Back quarter panels in Breathe Micro fabric for additional breathability.
4-needle flat-lock stitching for further comfort and durability.

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."
