Castelli designed these bib shorts to incorporate as much technology as possible from their high-end pro race shorts at a more affordable price. And while it's certainly suitable for weekend racing, it's also a great short that's comfortable and performs well even if you never wear a bib. The Competizione 2 Bibshort is made primarily from their Vortex textured fabric. They've used a wide, stretchy support band with integrated silicone in the leg area to ensure a comfortable, secure fit.
The KISS Air2 chamois offers a level of comfort very close to high-end chamois, but at an unbeatable price. They've modernized the straps a bit: the back is made of mesh to ensure breathability, while the straps are made of a lightweight elastic material that stays comfortable even after hours on the bike. The intangible component that you'll appreciate the most is the ability to create a perfectly tailored fit, the result of the work of Castelli's engineering team.
This model is the short that incorporates all of Castelli's expertise in comfortable performance shorts in an affordable product that can be added to your cycling wardrobe.
