Castelli quality

By climbhi67 May 19, 2011

Got these and other Castelli bibs on Bonktown, saved big $$$. I'm 5'10" and 160 lbs and these fit great in medium. My build is from triathlon so a little bigger in the upper body than a Cat 1 and a little thinner in the quads. These fit slightly looser than the 2 Castelli Ganna bibshorts I have (I prefer a pretty snug fit). I love, love the AC chamois for longer rides (with chamois cream of course!) and quickly adapted to the wide bib straps. The strap length is good and snug but not too tight and the low front is awesome for calls of nature. A great feature is the lack of silicone leg grippers which equals no skin irritation but they still stay put well. This kit looks good and I've been complimented on it before, but the black does soak up heat from the sun if you're wearing the jersey too. Overall, comfortable and well padded, quality construction and great looks at a steal of a price on Bonktown.
