Castelli Magnifica Short

Women who ride bikes deserve woman-specific cycling shorts for comfort and for performance. For this reason, Castelli made the Magnifica Shorts cut to fit a woman’s body in both the shorts and in the chamois pad. Made with Endurance Evolution fabric, these shorts are designed for comfort on long rides. The Endurance fabric has enough constriction to support the muscles without that race-fit tightness. The fabric is also wicking so when you sweat your body dries immediately. The fabric’s wicking ability makes these cycling shorts good for warm and cool weather. These are multi-season shorts—fall, spring and summer. The flat-form waist on front and back feels soft, it doesn’t pinch as a woman is leaned over in the bike position. The GIRO3 leg grippers also lie flat against the skin so air flows easily and the short’s legs stay comfortably in place. Now the KISS Air women’s-specific seat pad is the last in the list of qualities but it may be the most important. Those who value the chamois pad will value the comfort of the KISS Air, which has been designed through multiple tests on women to determine the exact placement of the padding of various densities. Castelli also learned how to create a skin layer that conforms to the shape of a woman’s body and allows air to circulate so she stays dry and comfortable. The Magnifica is magnificent for women who love riding their bike and require shorts to manage their sweat and long hours on the bike.
