Reviews over the
Castelli Free Aero Race S
4 / 5
Top trousers, but the noble parts at the front deserve a bit more coverage ánd better positioning
The fit and finish of these cycling shorts are excellent. However, the chamois does not provide sufficient coverage of the soft tissue areas, leaving these areas exposed to airflow and viewing. In warm conditions, this may still offer some ventilation benefits, but in cold air, it leads to discomfort and insufficient thermal protection. An extension of the chamois at the front, as applied to other cycling shorts, could remedy this problem and significantly improve wearing comfort.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fine trousers with comfortable chamois.
Wanted something different from the semi loose chamois from assos that seems to shift a bit on my slightly crooked body anyway. This is a nice alternative. Bib straps could be a bit firmer and fit is okay but not super. Most important for me is the chamois. It is good. Not too thick not too thin, gives good comfort.
