Competizione Limited Edition Short

With the Competizione Shorts, pro-level Castelli quality need not come at a pro-level price tag. The Competizione features much of the same technology as their higher-end offerings, like a KISS Air2 insert and Giro4 leg grippers, making it comfortable for long and short rides alike. The main panels use Castelli’s Vortex fabric for optimal breathability and comfort, while inside of the legs are a tighter Lycra for better compression, stretch, and rebound, where there’s more movement when pedaling. The KISS Air2 insert’s perforated padding and seamless upper keeps cool air moving through the short to ensure your comfort on the bike.

Very comfortable, fits great, no bunching or chaffing. KISSAir2 and Giro4 leg grippers worked great…2 hour ride and no issues whatsoever. Definitely size up. I’m 5’8” with athletic glutes. Normally wear size XL in U.S. sizing, ordered XXL in these and was a perfect fit around the waist and legs. Will be ordering another pair or two.

A soulful shade of blue

Familiarity:

Size Bought:
XXL

I bought these partly because of that song. The description said the chamois was good for rides of any length. That's proving to be true: my workouts are 8-22 miles long and these shorts aare comfortable start to finish. I wore them for my first gravel race too. Next weekend I'll wear them on the long ride at the Tour de Vineyard in Palisade,CO.I like the lack of bib straps. They're very well made. They work well with leg sleeves, wether to block the sun or are warmth on cold mornings. The size chart needs no adjustments either. Mine are Twilight blue. I'm 6'4" and weigh 90 Kg: XXL fit great

Cycling shorts

I love Castelli cycling jerseys, great fabric, color and styles, but I learned they run small. I wear larges. Ordered large shorts and could barely squeeze into them. I I would size up two sizes if you normally wear a medium. Nice style with multi-colored panels.

Toooooo small

Nice looking shorts and the material felt nice to the touch. But these shorts were too tight. I wear a medium in all other cycling shorts except Castelli and I have to get a large. But the large was still too tight.

Stitching Failed

Stitching failed after a dozen rides or more. Been MTB for over 25 years and I typically wear Pearl Izumi or SQlab liners and never had stitching fail or get a hole so soon; especially considering the price of the Castelli shorts. The shorts fit good and padding is comfortable. I will not likely purchase this product again.

They seemed small at first look, but fit very well. Easily my most comfortable pair of biking shorts.

I love these shorts. I?ve been a Pearl Izumi short guy for a long time. ( I still like them) but I thought I?d venture out and try a different pair. I?m 6? 3 , 185 lbs. skinny legs and as my wife says - ?assless?. Lol. That being said ? I usually go size: medium - When the shorts came I was like ? uh oh? I may have ordered a bit too small. BUT ? When I put them on? Magic! The shorts fit like the suit on Spider-Man ! Like a glove! Love them. I?ve put about 500 miles on the shorts so far and ? I give them a letter grade of ?A?. It?s true you get what you pay for. They?re worth it and? they look good. Functionally, I?ve had thicker and thinner pads ? these work pretty good. Meaning - yesterday I put in 50 miles in 95 degree heat with 4000? elevation gain here in Colorado and ? and my little tush feels just fine! Ta da! Highly Recommend? Dave, Colorado
