Castelli Prima

Fine cycling shorts!
I chose these trousers because of the positive reviews, and I totally agree. The trousers fit well, fit perfectly (not too tight, not too loose).

Good trousers at a nice price
I've been buying Castelli trousers for 13 years, first always the Velocissima, but since those new ones on me have very chafing grippers on my legs, I've been buying this model. I also like the Kiss2 better than the thinner (at the front) Progetto2 chamois. I get saddle sores from those, unfortunately. The price is also nice. Castelli fits small, so buy a size bigger. I also ride ultra's of hundreds of km and these trousers always go with me!

Perfect as women's first cycling shorts
Even this entry-level model from Castelli is of excellent quality. You can clearly feel the difference with other brands: the chamois is compact and very comfortable. The trousers also have a fairly high waist, which is pleasant for cycling. The trousers are neutral black with no particular accent colours, making them easy to combine with different jerseys. The logo on the leg does come off quickly, but I don't find that a minus point as it makes the trousers even more neutral.
