Generally good fit, ridiculous sizing. I’m 82 kilos and 178 cm tall and xxl is JUST big enough. Great design in respect of the leg cuffs which look a bit strange when you’re standing but make total sense when you start pedalling. The seat pad is great as well. However, why do designers seem to think that men don’t have male parts that need tailoring for ? They are quite ‘ restrictive ‘ and I keep feeling the need to put my hand down and readjust my bits. I have a couple of pairs of Giordana Carbon Pros and the fit is much better but the seat pad not quite as good. At least they’re cut to fit a man, however, and not,seemingly, a woman.
Product Details
Castelli Omloop Thermal Bib Shorts
Roads made damp from overnight showers, temperatures that hover in the mid-teens, and winds that chill – it's the often unpredictable days of spring and autumn where the Castelli Omloop Thermal Bib Shorts really shine. Castelli's Thermoflex fleece fabric is used to deliver protection from the elements, locking in greater warmth than a standard pair of cycling shorts. Minimal seams deliver greater comfort and fewer opportunities for dampness to seep inside.
The shorts feature raw-cut leg endings, shaped to fit comfortably around the lower thigh, finishing just above the knees for extended protection. To the upper body, seamless bib straps soon fade into the background, while a mesh back regulates body temperature, ensuring you're not overheating when high-tempo efforts demand more exertion.
Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad
A pro-level seat pad engineered for maximum comfort. A plush, seamless skin-care layer feels super soft against your skin and reduces the risk of abrasion and irritation. A saddle-shaped cushioning layer features high-density foams and perforated gel inserts, giving progressive damping and support precisely where you need it most.

About Castelli
At the front since 1876.
Castelli has been at the front of cycling apparel since 1876, founded in Milan as the original maker of pro race kit. From the first cycling jerseys to today's WorldTour-proven aero garments, the brand has spent nearly 150 years putting innovation onto the backs of the fastest riders in the world.
Castelli outfitted the first organised cycling teams in Italy and has been a constant presence in the pro peloton ever since. The Scorpion logo appears on more WorldTour podiums than almost any other apparel mark.
