For the Free Aero Race S model, Castelli uses the Forza2 Stretch material, known for its exceptional elasticity and support. The fabric is aero-optimised and reduces drag significantly, which is beneficial for your speed. The seamless Progetto X2 Air chamois provides unrivalled comfort even on the longest rides, with excellent ventilation and shock absorption. The bib short's breathability helps to keep you comfortable on hot days, and the UPF 50+ protection prevents UV rays from damaging your skin.
Other features
Besides the performance oriented basics, these bibshorts include practical extras like silicone grippers that keep the whole garment perfectly in place. The minimalist mesh bib straps are lightweight and ensure optimal ventilation. Moreover, the shorts feature a handy back pocket that can be used to store small essentials. Reflective details increase your visibility in traffic, keeping you safe on the road even in low-light conditions.

From Mantel’s point of view, I find it very regrettable that the service in cases like this is so disappointing.
I’d expected better from the Castelli brand, especially after the previous pair of bike shorts I’ve owned. After 1½ hours of cycling, my genitals are completely numb. The shorts can’t be returned because they’ve already been worn. In other words, you’re buying a pair of shorts for long-distance rides on a wing and a prayer, and if they don’t work out, you’ve simply wasted your money.

Top trousers
Lovely chamois shorts; I recently did a 160km ride in them without any problems. The legs are a bit on the long side, sitting just above the back of the knee. The shorts are quite tight-fitting, which I like. I’ve got the blue ones – a lovely colour.

5 / 5
Fantastic
Castelli trousers really do stay looking great; I swear by this brand. The chamois in the trousers stays in good condition and soft even after washing, so for me they’re top-notch. Do go for one size larger than you’re used to, though – but I already knew that.
