Espresso Bike Short

By: Castelli
Description
We chose the Espresso because it gives you a lot of the higher end features that Castelli's known for, but in a more comfortable package. First, it's a short, not a bib; second, it's outfitted with a Progetto X Air Seamless chamois with plenty of padding; third, it has raw-cut leg endings with integrated silicone grip inside so you don't get the sausage effect; fourth, it's a super value; and fifth, impressively, it's made in Italy.

fit notes
This is a high compression fit. We recommend ordering up a size for less compression or if between sizes.
product care
Remove your shorts and launder asap for best results as residual sweat may damage the chamois. Wash only in delicate cycle at 86 degrees. Use neutral non-aggressive detergents, keep like colors together and avoid dryers. If you use chamois butter/cream, your garment's ability to wick moisture will be greatly reduced and the durability of your chamois may be compromised. Note: we recommend that you wash new bottoms prior to use.

pocket picker
"i love these shorts. I love the leg band and they fit great for my size (xL) . The padding is comfortable for longer rides. I am just spoiled with pockets. I love that many athletic wear is coming with pockets these days. I just wish these did."
Perfect
"Fits great"
Very comfortable bike shorts
"Very comfortable shorts for longer rides. Great chamois, and I love the length. For Castelli bike shorts I am large, whereas with Terry bike shorts I am a medium."
Love these shorts!
"Great chamois, with padding that doesn't 'bottom out ' and disappear! Beautiful fabric, just enough compression."
