Pricey pants but well worth the price. nice design. Normally wear size L but for castelli clothing I need XXL. if it needs to be replaced I already know which pants it will be. This one!. Submitted on 19 October 2020 by Eric
I wanted to take the time to write a review to shed some light on sizing. As others have suggested (here and in other forums), it's best to order at least a size larger than normal. It's always hard when ordering online, and I was going back and forth between ordering an L or XL. I am 6'1" (185 cm), ~170 lbs., with a 33.5" (85 cm) inseam. My typical t-shirt size is M and pants are usually a 30" waist. I ordered an XL and I'm glad that I did. The XL is snug, so the L would have been too small for sure. These seem very well made (in line with Castelli's reputation) and ready for a long day in the saddle. The leg is a bit long, reaching just above the knee, so if you like a short, short leg, you should perhaps consider something else. Overall, I would certainly buy this product again.

Got these yesterday and rode 20 miles in them today. They run a size small so order up one size. I wear a large in other brands (5' 11" / 190 lbs) and the XL is perfect. The Progretto chamois pad is sublime... no chafing, no soreness, no unwanted repositioning... I felt as fresh after 20 miles and I did when I started. My only complaint (and it's a small one) is I wish the shoulder straps were wider. The straps are fine, and I never thought about them while riding, but a wider strap would be more comfortable for longer rides. I will be ordering another set soon.

I've owned several versions of this short and they have all been fantastic. They are my go to for summer riding and I will continue to buy them as long as Castelli makes them. Submitted on 03 January 2020 by Dan M.
This is by far the best bib short I have ever had the pleasure to wear. I had previously used Pactimo, but often had issues with the grippers slipping. I have had ZERO issues with the Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort slipping down my leg. The pad is incredibly high quality with multiple layers for different pressure points on your body. The seams are well done; and the aero dimples make me feel fast. I am a Castelli fan for life now! Submitted on 03 June 2019 by Travis
L'ajustement est parfait et le maintien musculaire également. La peau Progetto est très confortable et ne provoque aucune irritation. Un sans faute. Submitted on 02 June 2019 by Guillaume
This is one product, if I'm being completely honest, wasn't one I was particularly excited about. The former version of the short was great, so while I was interested in how it could be improved upon, it wasn't something I believed would provide an answer to a question I wasn't asking. Long story short, the improvements to these shorts are huge - from improved straps, a better gripper, and the most comfortable seat pad of any I've ever tried - and I would highly recommend to anyone in the market for premium bibshorts.

Best bib shorts ever
I had tried many different bib shorts from many manufacturers until I tried Castelli’s Free Aero Race. Version 4 is better than ever and is sublime to wear for short or long rides. I’m big guy at 6’5” & 240 lbs and wear an XXL in all of my clothing but need to size up to 3XL for Castelli bibs. For a tall rider, the bib straps fit well and the legs are plenty long. A+ to Castelli! Submitted on 29 December 2020 by KenB
