Castelli Fiorita Bibshort

The colorful flowered patterns on the left leg of the Castelli Fiorita Bib-Short help to illustrate the femininity of this woman’s bib-short. Yet the woman specific design, along with a woman’s specific KISS Air² Donna seat pad, creates a pair of bib-shorts made to enhance the performance of a woman cyclist. The ProFit Lycra® fabric is joined with flat-lock seams. The seams are placed in the right places so the stretchy fabric contours over a woman’s anatomy. The same stretchy fabric is porous so it dries instantly and brings cooling air to a warming body. Mesh has been added to the bib straps and back, another feature that enhances cooling. The KISS Air² Donna seat pad is designed to keep a woman comfortable on endurance rides and fast competitive rides. Padding is thickest under the ischial bone which is most sensitive to pressure. The padding gradually thins so a woman has just enough padding for protection without feeling her pedal stroke is being impeded by thick padding. The layer closest to skin has been improved by making it even softer, so it is more comfortable over longer distances.
