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.
