Castelli Velocissima 2 Knicker

The Castelli Velocissima 2 Woman’s knicker is great for long, endurance, pre-season base rides. The Endurance Evolution fabric keeps a woman cyclist warm and supports her muscles by applying the mild compression needed to stimulate blood flow and speed recovery. Besides keeping a rider warm, the fabric allows air to circulate so sweat dries instantly. By allowing air to circulate within the fabric, the knickers will keep a woman warm, but she won’t overheat. Treated with a matte finish, the bib-shorts support a woman on the bike and they help to make her look great. Comfort has been considered in the design of even the smallest details. At the leg endings, Castelli used a raw-cut edge with vertical silicone strips that keep the shorts in place without creating the “sausage” effect. Every portion of the bib-short feels soft against skin while at the same time supporting a moving body. The woman’s-specific KISS Air² seat pad is designed for a woman’s body as she is leaned over the bike. A woman has wider hip bones so Castelli took women’s anatomy into account in the design of the seat pad. More air has been added to the pad which makes it more breathable. More breathable means it stays dry and keeps a woman’s seat from overheating. The layer closest to skin has padding placed in just the right places so it moves with a woman’s body and protects from the chafing against saddle, as well as from the seat trauma that can occur when riding for miles over bumpy roads. The lightweight mesh bibs dry instantly and provide the final feature that ensures a woman feels great on her long bike rides in cooler fall and spring riding weather.
