Elsewhere, the stretch mesh thigh pockets provide convenient extra storage space - an ideal spot to stash nutrition bars and gels or small tools within easy reach. Reflective details also keep you more visible as the light fades - just right for rides that stretch from dawn to dusk.

The design makes use of both dual-density foam and rooted gel to provide support and shock-absorbing comfort on the saddle. You'll also benefit from an anatomical shape that maintains comfort ride after ride.

Altura Firestorm BibshortDon’t let the blistering heat stop you from hitting your peak with the help of Altura’s Firestorm Bibshorts. Be ready for when the mercury rises to hitherto unreached levels thanks to a cooling mesh construction in the top. Not only does this allow plenty of ventilation in and out of the top, it also significantly increases your aero ride and wicks sweat away from the body at incredible speed for unparalleled freshness.Impressive as this construction is, the real star of the show here, especially over longer distances, is the comfortable and supportive Stealth pad that sits at the heart of the Firestorm. Made to a 3D design which reduces material for greater freedom of movement, the padding that is left behind gets the job done just as well in all your most sensitive areas. The foam is made from open cells to allow for plenty of extra breathability, and the Y-shape keeps seams away from the body. Elsewhere, the hem grippers keep the shorts perfectly in place, with a reflective finish to catch the eye of other road users.Features:Material: 100% PolyesterHigh wicking fabricStealth chamois padMesh upper bodyReflective hem gripperSilicon grip hem printFittedBuy Altura Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.

Our flagship WorldTour bib shorts for racing dedicated training and cyclists who appreciate how meticulous engineering and refined equipment can help athletes achieve higher performance. The “TARGA” classification indicates a foundational redesign of our EQUIPE RS S9 platform. The reengineering process increased performance and comfort shed unnecessary bulk and grams and decreased drying time—which ensures perspiration doesn’t add mid-ride weight by lingering in textiles. Assos also incorporated a panel of Ossidia material across the lower abdomen adding stretch to better accommodate aggressive bike positions expand with deep breathing during hard efforts and relieve pressure for taller cyclists seeking an aerodynamic second-skin fit.
The Free Aero RC Pro Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Giri d'Italia, San Remo, Roubaix, Liège, and Lombardia, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because, simply put, this is the short that does everything well. The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary. You feel Free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel Free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate Skin Care Layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin. You feel Free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back. You feel Free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% Lycra® with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are sublimation printed so they will never peel, crack, or fade. What It Is The perfect mix of comfort and speed. Engineered for top-level racing, which also makes it supremely comfortable for every ride and rider. Product Features High-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compression Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders Rear mesh pocket 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade Reflective piping on back of legs Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F Weight:183g
A lighter and cooler bibshort for more comfortable indoor training. 195 g/m2 main body Lycra® is just enough to hold everything secure without being transparent Mesh side panels allow extra ventilation Raw-cut leg endings engineered to keep leg from riding up Minimalist bib straps with monofilament open knit for breathability Progetto X2 Air Skin care layer pad. If indoor is your main training tool for the winter months, then a dedicated pair of indoor shorts will keep you cooler. The entire construction of this bibshort is focused on making it as cool, light, and airy as possible while still providing the necessary support. The main body fabric is lighter than what our race shorts use, and the side mesh panels help with additional ventilation.We use the skin care layer of our tried and tested Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad because it's sufficiently cushioned for most indoor sessions but much cooler than the full Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad from our cycling shorts. The bib straps are the lightest, most breathable we've ever made.
