Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- Thanks to the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, you will enjoy a seamless contact surface that makes chafing or other skin irritation highly unlikely.
- The raw-cut leg ends allow for a sleek and aerodynamic transition from fabric to skin without any annoying edges.
- The shorts are suitable for use in a wide temperature range up to 35°C, and so they are an ideal choice for mild spring to the hottest summer rides.
- The Espresso Doppio fabric feels very luxurious on your skin and provides constant compression that supports your muscles during heavy efforts.
- The tailored close fit may feel tight at first for recreational riders.
- The focus on lightweight materials makes the shorts less suitable for temperatures below 15°C.

These elegant cycling shorts are made of Castelli's in-house developed Espresso Doppio fabric, which gives them a superior fit that perfectly follows the contours of your body. As this fabric is highly breathable, the shorts perform optimally in temperatures between 15°C and 35°C. An essential part is the Progetto X2 Air Seamless chamois, specifically designed for all-day comfort. The tailored close fit makes the shorts feel like a second skin and lets you move freely while cycling.
Smart details and high-quality finish
The finish of this Espresso 2 legwear emphasises Castelli's obsession with detail, which is evident in the raw-cut leg ends that fit seamlessly to your thighs. They feature subtle silicone grippers that keep the legs securely in place in all conditions, even during explosive sprints. The construction has been refined to minimise irritation, and the new sleek brand logo adds a modern touch. Weighing just 185 grams, the shorts feel light and efficient, which is essential for performance cyclists who will only settle for the very best kit.

A bad buy, despite the shop assistant’s advice
I wore these trousers for the first time yesterday and they’re not up to scratch. I bought them in a shop in Arnhem on 3 September When trying them on, I had my doubts about the size. I had the impression that the chamois wasn’t sitting properly. The sales assistant said they were the right size and that the chamois sat sufficiently under the sit bones. So I bought them, assuming the sales assistant had judged this correctly. Whilst riding a bike, it turned out that wasn’t the case. The shorts are too tight and the chamois doesn’t extend far enough under the sit bones. I bought several other items of clothing in the shop on 3 September, and those fit well.
