Product description

The Free Aero Race short is the all-around race short Castelli supplies to Team Sky, as well as all race teams they’ve sponsored since 2007. But that’s not enough of a reason for you to just go out and buy a pair. Since these guys ride over 30,000 kilometers per year, we consider them ideal testers and continuously solicit their feedback. The difference is that we actually listen to them. And the good thing for you is that the pros are looking for comfortable shorts too, so this short is made to be minimalist and fast, but without sacrificing all-day comfort. For this year Castelli has made subtle but important refinements. The seat pad has been updated with a softer, stretchier and totally seamless top layer. The leg gripper is also stretchier and grips better. The bib straps are both lighter and more comfortable while giving better support.

Feels Like a 2nd Skin

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019

Color: BlackSize: MediumVerified Purchase

I purchased these to upgrade my collection of cycling bibs. Wow. These are everything you desire in a cycling short. The modified X2 pad is superb and velvety soft on the skin. Ordered a size medium to stick with my previous Castelli's but this set feels tighter. I had to pull them on carefully the first time to make sure this was the correct size. Yep-correct size. Due to the extra spandex the bibs feel more compressive. Once on they are a delight to wear. Legs feel refreshed while riding....like a 2nd skin. The bib strap material looks and feels like it may not last for years.....but initial tugging and pulling leads me to think they are robust and may hold up well.

Very Comfterable

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020

Color: Dark Steel BlueSize: LargeVerified Purchase

Have had this for a month or two, and it is definitely conferrable. I'm using it 4 times a week for 1.5 to 4 hours / day (3-4 hours once a week). The suit is very conferrable, and fits very well (it is expectedly tight). The only complaint is I've developed a small hole in the back webbing, which I would not expect given how shortly I've had it. I'll update this if I can remember if this hole becomes a bigger issue.

Sizing is way too small

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2020

Color: BlackSize: X-LargeVerified Purchase

Castelli bib shorts are expensive but great quality. Their sizing is terrible. Way undersized. I'm 5'10" , 175lbs. I bought a large, too small so I sent it back. I ordered an X-Lg. Still too tight. I'm not that big. Figure out how to get the sizing right before you buy. I got stuck with restocking fee.

I can't rate these high enough. When I was riding with my friends, I kept telling them that these bibs were the greatest thing I'd purchased. Riding 25-30 miles and not even a HINT of pain. And the cool part is how they fit your thighs. Great product.

I’m 5’7 and 170#. I ordered a LARGE and I couldn’t come Close to getting them over my thighs. I am an athlete but not a body builder. Poor sizing.

Sizing/Comfort

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020

Color: Dark Infinity BlueSize: LargeVerified Purchase

I've always been a size M in the previous versions of the Aero Race Bib, because of the numerous comment to size up...I did. The size L had too much fabric and irritated my skin where it would bunch up (soft spots). My opinion is the previous chamois pads are more comfortable/firm than these. I recommend buying true to size.

Sizing is a problem

Good quality product and well made.
If you bought medium in most other makes you would require a large in Castelli and even that is tight.

Too tight even going a size up. quality is just not there, shoulder straps have frayed after one wash. A big disappointment for the price point.

La miglior salopette fino ad oggi utlizzata

Reviewed in Italy on August 17, 2020

Color: Dark GraySize: X-LargeVerified Purchase

Di salopette, in 40 anni di ciclismo su strada, ne ho utilizzate, tante, ma performante come questa castelli Free Aero Race 4 mai. Subito una precisazione: è indicato su vari siti e forum, che veste stretto, bene, la cosa, secondo il mio modesto e personalissimo parere, non è così. o meglio, veste appena più stretta, ma non così tanto da giustificare addirittura due taglie in più ! NO. Io sono alto 1,80, peso 74 KG, longilineo, 55 anni, non ho pancia, o almeno, non da 'anfora greca', e mi sono lasciato convinecere ad acquistare una taglia in più della solita L. Quindi, ho acquistato una XL. Sì, va bene, però anche una L (a me la salopette o il body piacciono molto aderenti), sarebbe andata bene ugualmente. Considerate che con l'utilizzo, un pò, qualunque salopette, estiva od invernale, cede. Quindi, in definitiva, se vi piace indossare capi stretti potete anche non puntare ad una taglia maggiore, in ogni caso, se o fate, NON ECCEDETE OLTRE AD UNA TAGLIA IN PIU'. Sbagliereste. Per il resto è perfetta, dal taglio, al fondello (eccezionale, sia sul lungo che in salita), non si muove mai e non fa sudare nè crea attrito (basta non avere una salopette di due taglie più grande !). Perfette le bretelle, leggere, areate ma di sostegno. Che dire... 5 stelle stra-meritate. Il prezzo forse è un pò più alto di capi di fascia medio bassa, ma ne vale assolutamente la pena: stiamo parlando di una salopette per ciclismo su strada di alto livello. Castelli, collezione Rosso Corsa, non si smentisce mai. Consegna puntuale, come sempre.
