Overview
What Makes the Castelli Espresso 2 Bibshort Castelli's Best Bibshort Yet?
Castelli started with its favorite bibshort, the one it reaches for every ride, and refined it with subtle adjustments in fit, improved construction details, and fabric updates to the bib straps. The body uses Castelli's Espresso Doppio fabric for comfort and perfect fit. The Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad is built in two layers: a seamless, bacteriostatic skin care layer that adapts to your body and saddle without folds, and a cushioning layer with perforated viscous padding under the most sensitive pressure areas.
The raw-cut leg endings have silicone grippers, stretch-mesh bib straps add ventilation and comfort, and a pocket on the rear adds storage. Castelli lists a Tailored fit and rates it for 59°F to 95°F. The Lab stocks Black in sizes XS through 3XL.
