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.

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.

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.

comfortable - if you get the right size

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021

Color: BlackSize: X-LargeVerified Purchase

I am an experienced rider and have used other high-end bibs from Assos, Sportful, Santini and others. I like these bibs but beware the Castelli sizing chart which will give you a size way too small. For me, I needed to size up two sizes from L to XXL. After getting that right, I found they fit snug but not tight and become unnoticeable once you start riding. I am not sure about durability but these will definitely be part of my rotation

Very Comfterable

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020

Verified 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.

Seams coming apart

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is pretty comfortable but the quality of the product is really bad. The seams have started coming apart after just one wash. I was expecting better after spending over $200 on the product.

Sizing/Comfort

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020

Verified 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.

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.
