THE THRILL OF COMPETITION

We made this short to incorporate as much technology as possible from our top-of-the-line pro-level race shorts at a more accessible price. And although it's certainly capable of weekend racing, it's also a great comfort performance short even if you never pin on a number. The main Vortex textured fabric and the GIRO4 leg gripper, while the KISS Air2 seat pad has most of the comfort of our top seat pad but represents maximum value. The intangible part that you'll appreciate most is our knack for building in perfect fit, thanks to the Castelli pattern engineering team. This is the short that brings the best of Castelli's know-how in building comfort performance shorts into an accessible product in your cycling wardrobe.

Far exceeded my expectations-excellent bibshorts.

03/12/2023

These Competizione bibshorts far exceeded my expectations. I'm a big fan of Castelli and have serveral jerseys and jackets, but have never purchsed Castelli bibshorts. However, the bike club I belong to uses Castelli for their custom kits, and these bibshorts were highly recommended by other club members. I bought 2 pair of these during the recent sale and I regret not buying a couple of additional pairs. But even at the regular price I beleive the Competizione bibshorts are a great value
I had to chance to waer these on a recent ride and was quite impressed with the fit, I prefer the high-compression the fabric provided, and the seat pad was comfortable on a long 4 1/2 hour ride. I liked the wide shoulder straps, which provided good support, and were comfortable.
For me the size large recommended by the Casteilli sizing chart fit me perfectly, I'm 176 cm tall, and 86 kg (on a good day).

Fits me well

02/02/2023

So as to help out others: I am 5'11" 190 lbs with average build (you get what you get genetics-wise!) with slightly bigger thighs than the average build. The XXL (yes, a double-X-L) fits me well. An XL would have been too tight to reasonably wear.

The fit is tight enough but not too tight.
Leg and strap length fits me well.
I intend to use this indoors so the thin material is appropriate and what I prefer.
Pad more than sufficient for 30-45 minutes of cycling.

These are without doubt the best value vs quality shorts in the Castelli range. They are great for racing, great for training, good for turbo training. I also use the free aero 4 shorts which are great, but these shorts are more robust. I have five pairs of these, they really are that good. I am 178cm, 70-72kg and i wear medium. Shop round on the web as the shorts are often on offer. However, these shorts are without doubt the best "value vs quality" shorts I have ever purchased.
