The Castelli Espresso 2 DT women's bib tight is your most versatile winter legwear: With a temperature range of 4°C to 15°C, it is the bib tights you will reach for most often as soon as autumn sets in, right through to the depths of winter!
The tailored, close-to-body fit creates a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette, and the Drop Tail construction (the "DT" in the name) makes it easier to take a toilet break: The bib straps are highly flexible so you can pull the tight down smoothly without having to take it off completely. The Progetto X2 chamois ensures comfort throughout your longest winter rides.
If you mainly ride in temperatures around freezing, the Castelli Sorpasso Pro W DT (with water protection on wet roads) or Castelli Competizione W DT bib tight will be a warmer option.

Drop Tail construction
The bib straps on this Espresso 2 W DT model are more flexible than on standard bib tights. They make it easier to pull the tights down for a toilet break, without having to take them off completely.
Progetto X2 seat pad
This chamois is designed for comfort on long rides in the cold, when you often spend more time in the saddle than in summer.
Ideal for:
- Temperatures between 4°C and 15°C – most of autumn and winter
- Freezing conditions below 4°C – in such conditions, a warmer model, such as the Sorpasso Pro W DT or Competizione W DT, will be a better choice
- Wash the bib tight inside out at a maximum of 30°C using a sports detergent for best care of the chamois and elasticity.
- Leave to air dry; the tumble dryer will damage the chamois and elasticity.
For what temperature range is the Castelli Espresso 2 W DT bib tight suitable?
The Espresso 2 W DT is designed for temperatures between 4°C and 15°C, covering most of your winter season.
What does “DT” in Espresso 2 W DT stand for?
DT stands for Drop Tail. In these women's cycling tights, the bib straps are more flexible than in standard models, making it easier to pull the tights down for a toilet break without having to take them off completely.
What is the difference between the Castelli Espresso 2 W DT and the Castelli Sorpasso Pro W DT models?
The current Castelli Espresso 2 W DT is designed for temperatures between 4°C and 15°C and, therefore, is a versatile bib tight for most of your winter season. The Castelli Sorpasso Pro W DT, then, is designed for temperatures from freezing to 12°C, and offers more warmth as well as water protection on wet roads (splashproof). If you ride your bike throughout the season in varying temperatures, choose the Espresso 2. If you are mainly expecting bitter cold and wet roads, the Sorpasso Pro is the warmer choice.
What is the difference between the Castelli Espresso 2 W DT and the Castelli Competizione W DT models?
The Espresso 2 W DT bib tight is designed for temperatures between 4°C and 15°C. The Castelli Competizione W DT bib tight is designed for temperatures between freezing point and 12°C, offering more warmth. If you ride your bike all year round in varying temperatures, choose the Espresso 2. If you are expecting particularly cold conditions, the Competizione is the warmer choice.
