Castelli was thinking about how to make a woman’s cycling bib for the performance minded woman when it designed the Women’s Body Paint W Bibshort. Contoured to the specific angles and shape of a woman’s body the short portion is made with a single piece of engineered Power Stretch Lycra® fabric. LYCRA® SPORT fabric is engineered specifically for cycling which requires a combination of light-weight, breathability, muscle support and freedom of movement. So while this fabric is compressing your muscles, it is increasing your ability to recover and ride longer and harder before fatiguing. These Castelli bibshorts also allow you to move without any restrictions of your short. The straps and waistband are made with seamless giro++ elastic so there will be no chafing. The mesh back wicks away the sweat. The Body Paint W Bibshort is the best bicycle shorts for the woman bicycle racer on a cycling team or a woman cyclist who just loves to ride her bike.
