It Just Works Right Castelli has innovation in our DNA, and we've brought you most innovations in cycling shorts over the years: the first Lycra shorts on the market, the first synthetic seat pads, the first anatomical seat pads, the first minimalist and flat bib straps, and the first flat leg grippers. All these have become industry standards, and we keep pushing and innovating in our high-end shorts. The Entrata short is where we bring all that knowledge and experience into a short that just plain works. The fabric is just the right weight with just the right stretch and with a matte finish that looks just right. The KISS Air2 seat pad is just right, as is the GIRO3 leg gripper. And the short fits just right because we obsess over the fit of every short we make. We wanted this short to be just right for many years to come, so we stitch on the logos and stitch in the reflective panels on the back. There are no logos to peel off, and everything is stitched down securely. This short gives you every reason to step up to Castelli. - KISS Air2 seat pad for all-day comfort - Pro Dry matte Lycra for good compression and moisture management - 8-panel construction for perfect fit - Rear reflective panels on lower leg - GIRO3 engineered flat leg band - Mesh bib straps for comfort and breathability - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 175g

The Entrata Bibtight reflects the same obsessive drive for function, comfort and performance seen in all our tights, combined with fabrics and components that were top of the line a few years ago.

If you don't ride in cold, wet conditions you'll appreciate the luxurious warmth and stretch of this fabric. The tight has minimal seams for comfort, and our KISS Air2 seat pad features generous padding and quite possibly the softest surface fabric in the business. It's everything you need to comfortably enjoy dry winter rides. - Thermoflex fabric for warmth and comfort - KISS Air2 seat pad is so good it's the choice of some of our pro riders - Mesh bib straps - Ankle zippers for easy on/off - Reflective logo below knee - Reflective flap over ankle zipper for extra visibility

A tri top has never been this comfortably fast Tri fashion (and the wind tunnel) have pushed toward short-sleeve tops, but we think there's still a place for the traditional sleeveless top. It's more comfortable on the run and cooler in hot weather. . . And maybe you're just a traditionalist. We've packed this top full of features: the front fabric comes straight from our Tour de France winning aero race jersey, and the back fabric offers maximum breathability. The top has two generous pockets for whatever you need to carry. It has snaplock fastners that clip on to Castelli shorts to prevent the top from riding up during the swim and to keep coverage of the lower back on the bike-then you unclip for added comfort during the run. The YKK zipper makes adjusting the ventilation easier than ever. Finally, we've taken extra care around the armhole to make it lie flat for speed yet remain soft to prevent chafing. - Freedom of movement in the water, aerodynamics on the bike, comfort on the run - Velocity rev2 aero fabric on front-facing surfaces - UPF 16 velocity mesh back blocks 94% of UV rays, with generous breathability - 2 rear pockets lie flat and prevent nutrition from bouncing around - Giro3 flat gripper elastic lies flat on lower back - SnapLock fastener at lower back to clip to Free Tri Short to prevent top from riding up during swim or bike leg - YKK® Camlock® zipper

Made to Race Typically, our women's garments are designed from the ground up for women. However, the Free Aero 4 W Bibshort is designed from the ground up for racing. That specific goal leads us to a somewhat minimalist construction, but one that is made for aerodynamics and also comfort, since racing requires long hours in the saddle, both in training and on race day, resulting in one of our most comfortable shorts as well. The Free Aero 4 W Bibshort represents a significant evolution from last year's model, our best-selling short ever. There's a new leg gripper that still features a lie-flat raw-cut edge but now has vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch. The new fabric allows for better print quality for your custom team production, the same as Team Sky will use in 2019. We've updated the seams to improve the fit and make the short look even better on the body. We've re-engineered the bib straps with new fabrics and construction so they stay cooler, lie flatter and are more durable. The new Free Aero 4 W Bibshort also receives the updated Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad featuring the softest surface fabric you've ever felt in a seat pad. Product Features - Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance - Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra content for perfect fit - Stripe mesh engineered lie-flat bib strap construction keeps you cool - GIRO4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over larger area - Doppio V construction in front for increased comfort - Flat-lock stitching - Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna women's-specific seat pad - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 156g

Innovative evolution The free aero RC bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original free aero race bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Giri d'Italia, one Vuelta, and San Remo, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because simply put, this is the short that does everything well. The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary. You feel free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate skincare layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin. You feel free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back. You feel free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% lycra with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are either stitched or embossed for durability. - High-compression 215g Forza 2 fabric with 32% lycra content provides exceptional muscle support and compression - Progetto X2 air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort - Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders - Rear mesh pocket - 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing - Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade - Reflective piping on back of legs - Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort - Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers

For 2019 we've made some dramatic changes. Not because Team Ineos or you were asking for it, but because we've been riding in it a ton and thinking constantly about how we could make it better. There's a new leg gripper that still features a lie-flat raw-cut edge but now has vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch. The new fabric allows for better print quality for your custom team production, the same as Team Ineos will use in 2019. We've updated the seams to improve the fit and make the short look even better on the body.

Meticulous Evolution The Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. The original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced over a decade ago and has logged literally millions of kilometers under the backsides of our sponsored pro riders and has been the best-selling short both in the Castelli retail collection and in our Servizio Corse custom program. Over this time the short has undergone numerous updates and improvements in the never-ending quest to create the best short we can make. While the basic concept of a minimalist workhorse pro-level comfortable race short remains, every single fabric, component, stitch and construction method has been updated and improved over time. The fourth major generation of the short features the updated Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. This pad separates a soft, stretchy skin care layer that moves with your body from a generously padded cushioning layer that replicates the form of your saddle. Eight-hour rides are no problem. Of course the fabrics are premium, made to our specifications by Italy's best fabric suppliers. The Forza fabric on the inner leg features 38% Lycra content for perfect fit, while the Vortex fabric on the side panels is dimpled for aerodynamics. And it's held in place by the latest iteration of our seamless flat Giro leg gripper. - Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance - Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra content for perfect fit - Stripe mesh engineered minimalist bib construction keeps you cool - Giro4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over larger area - Doppio V construction in front for increased support and comfort - Flat-lock stitching - Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 172g
