Castelli Premio Women's Road Short Black CS210970101

The Castelli Premio Women's Short has been engineered to provide the ultimate in long-distance comfort and to be your favorite short ever. That's a big claim, but there's a lot of research and development in this short to back it up.The seat pad is central to the Premio’s exceptional comfort and the top-of-the-line women's specific Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna pad is actually two separate components: a soft, stretchy Skin Care Layer next to your skin, which has the sole purpose of preventing any rubbing on your skin, and, under that, the Cushioning Layer, which features two separate densities of foam along with breathable perforated gel inserts under the ischia bones and perineum. Comfort continues through the construction of the short with reduced seams and only 3 panels.Castelli engineered a new fabric that changes depending on the needs over various parts of the body. The lower leg has a raw-cut leg ending and rubberized yarns to guarantee a flat grip to keep the leg in place. The fabric becomes lighter in the thigh, while the four-way stretch provides just the right amount of muscle support. In the pelvis area, the compression and support increase to keep the seat pad and everything else in place. At the back there’s a thicker fabric to avoid any transparency issues. Castelli carried the less-is-more theme into the design, with minimalist laser-etched logos and subtle finishing. It looks as premium as it feels. You can tell that every component, every stitch, every detail has been obsessed over. You'll not find a better short.WHAT IT ISInnovatively engineered for ultimate long-distance comfort, support, speed and durability.Castelli Premio Women's Shorts FeaturesThe premium all-conditions shortGradient stretch woven fabric for the right support in the right placeWoven fabric weighs 30% less than comparable knit fabricPerforated bib straps lie flat and don't bind at shouldersIntegrated gripper elastic at leg ending holds short in place without need for extra silicone grippersLaser-etched logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfersWomen's-specific Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad14-38°C /57°-100°FWeight:119g
