Castelli Vizio Due Women's Short Black

Performance, style and value - what a package !

	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."

No compromise here: from the top - a comfortable waistband designed to hold the shorts in place without binding, Action micro fabric provides soft stretch with optimum muscle support, the Breathe micro fabric back panels are shaped for a form- flattering look and provide enhanced breathability, stitching is 4-needle flat-lock, seat pad is the Kiss3 Donna women's specific chamois, leg grippers are partial Giro++ elastic providing just the right amount of hold whilst keeping a flattering line, 2 rear reflective inserts.

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.

	Jenn says: Scorpios Love Scorpions, and I Love these Shorts! Castelli has been getting so many stellar reviews from customers across the country and around the globe for their Spring/Summer 2010 line, I thought it was high time I tried a new pair of Women's Vizio Due Shorts for myself. The balmy summer temps, clear blue skies and slight breeze wafting from the Willamette River as we made our way along the Vera Katz Esplanade all made for an inviting post-work ride--as did my extremely comfortable cycling attire. The anatomical shape of the ultra-soft KISS3 Chamois Pad and form-fitting cut kept everything in place, maximizing comfort and eliminating chafing and abrasion. Remained happy both in and out of the saddle and shorts felt so great it was almost worth doing those hill repeats up Terwilliger--almost. Favorite feature: the uber-cool seamless leg grippers. Embossed with the trademark Castelli logo, they performed superbly, preventing the legs from riding up to reveal unsightly tan lines while pedaling--all while not digging into the skin. THANKS! - Jenn
