Castelli Women's Velocissima 3 Bibshort

This is Castelli's midrange performance short, great for a long ride or a quick hour workout indoors or out. Castelli's Endurance Evolution fabric is a high-modulus, very matte Lycra® fabric that feels extremely dry while providing just the right amount of compression. The waist construction eliminates stitching and elastic and lies completely flat. At the leg ending they use a raw-cut edge with vertical silicone strips to keep the leg in place without the pressure that creates the dreaded sausage effect. A great short needs a great seat pad, and the women's-specific KISS Air2 Donna pad will keep you comfortable without being too bulky.

• Endurance Evolution fabric for a matte finish with high-modulus stretch
• Raw-edge leg ending eliminates sausage effect while silicone print holds leg in place
• High-visibility reflective patches at back of leg
• Wide bib straps can be crossed in front or back for comfort, and they stretch far enough to enable pee stops without removing bibs
• Women's-specific KISS Air2 Donna seat pad for long-distance comfort
