We just took delivery of Castelli Nanoflex Bibshorts. Bibshorts don't get much more hi-spec than this. Nanoflex arm warmers have become almost standard issue and the Gabba jersey has been one of our top sellers at Kinoko, so applying the same principles of weather protection to your core and upper legs makes perfect sense.

WHAT’S THE SECRET WEAPON IN
WET CONDITIONS?

Our Nanoflex water-repellent fabric is one of those fabrics that seems miraculous. On a dry day it’s as warm and breathable as our normal Thermoflex fabric, but when it rains the water just runs off, thanks to the five-phase nanotechnology treatment. We’ve used an innovative construction that minimizes seams to keep you as dry as possible. While it’s not 100% waterproof, it’s the best solution we’ve ever tried for staying comfortable in any condition.

The KISS3 seat pad features an anatomic shape to conform to your body and ultimately increase your comfort. A continuously variable thickness eliminates the odd sensation of “thick here, thin there” that you may have seen before with a dual-density pad. The brushed microfiber cover cuts down on chafing and features a bacteriostatic treatment to reduce the likelihood of saddle sores.

The mesh bib straps help transport moisture to the jersey and make sure the waist stays where it’s meant to be. Reflective Castelli print and reflective tape zippers make you more visible in low-light conditions.

Brand Info

While Castelli have only come to the fore of professional cycling in the last few years, they trace their heritage back to 1876 in Milan. The company that started as a single tailor, making jerseys for AC Milan, Juventus, and the Milan Ballet, eventually was bought up by Maurizio Castelli, who made the first silk skin-suits for Fausto Coppi's time trials. Heritage apart, Castelli are now well represented in the pro-peloton, supplying Garmin - Sharp with extremely well respected technical garments, from shoe-covers to full skin-suits.
