We made this short to incorporate as much technology as possible from our top-of-the-line pro-level race short at a more accessible price. And although it's certainly capable of weekend racing, it's also a great comfort performance short even if you never pin on a number. The majority of the Competizione 2 Bibshort features our Vortex textured fabric. We've used a wide, stretchy leg gripper with integrated silicone to ensure a comfortable, secure fit.

The KISS Air2 seat pad has most of the comfort of our top seat pad but represents maximum value. We've given the bib straps an update: the back is in mesh for breathability, while the straps are a lightweight elastic and are comfortable for hours in the saddle. The intangible part that you'll appreciate most is our knack for building in perfect fit, thanks to the Castelli pattern engineering team. This is the short that brings the best of Castelli's know-how in building comfort performance shorts into an accessible product for your cycling wardrobe.

The Premio EVO Bibshort has been engineered to provide the ultimate in long-distance comfort and to be your favorite bibshort 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 our top-of-the-line Progetto X2 Air Seamless 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 three panels. We engineered a new fabric that changes based on the needs of 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 prevent any transparency issues. The premium fabrics extend to the bib straps. The perforated back keeps you cool, and the edge is bonded so you don’t feel the thickness of a stitched edge. The elastic straps are soft and stretchy to offer the perfect amount of support without being binding.

We've also articulated the straps to spread the load over the shoulders, offering more comfort. The straps narrow as they attach to the short, allowing for greater breathability and eliminating extra fabric on your chest. We've finished off the Premio EVO Bibshort with subtle logo placement that carries into the rest of our Premio EVO kit for a refined, modern look.
