This is the short you buy when you want to elevate. The Free Aero Race Short takes everything Castelli is good at in the pro peloton, and adds some comfort engineering for long days and long distance. The fit is beautiful with sculptural paneling and integrated silicone leg banding that prevents riding up and sausage effect. It has a lot of compression but in a muscle supporting direction that you'll appreciate at kilometer 70. Outfitted with the Progetto X2 Air seat pad, it's super comfortable and seamless to reduce any potential for chafing, even on longest rides.
