I love Castelli, but there is a reason why these are cheap...brought a pair in black and after 2 washes was on a club ride and someone pointed out to me that my shorts were see through.
Product Details
Castelli Velocissima 3 Womens Bib Short
The Castelli Velocissima 3 Womens Bib Short combines practical features with comfort and performance. Constructed from Endurance Evolution fabric, the garment is supportive with plenty of stretch and has a sleek matt finish. Raw-edge hems with internal silicone print prevent the legs from being over-squeezed while still preventing ride-up.
Perfect for long-distance riding, the women’s-specific KISS Air² Donna seat pad places cushioning strategically for the best possible protection in the saddle, and the anatomical design means the chamois will move with your body as you pedal.
A unique bib design means you can cross the straps either over the front or back of the body, whichever is most comfortable, and they are extra stretchy, making bathroom breaks possible without having to pull them off the shoulders. Reflective details finish off the bib short nicely, enhancing visibility in low light.

My first ever pair of padded cycling shorts and they don't disappoint! They are super comfortable in fit but also where you need the padding! The straps are very stretchy so you can indeed go for pee stops without taking the straps off your shoulders. Very happy with my purchase!

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.
