FREE UNLIMITED BIBSHORT

This is the no-compromise gravel or endurance MTB short. It combines the best features of Castelli's premier race short, the Free Aero RC Bibshort, with Dyneema® side panels for protection in case of a fall, and four pockets for storage. It's made first and foremost for riding comfort. It uses the top-of-the-line Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad that provides progressive damping and the softest, stretchiest skin contact layer available. The Forza 2 fabric provides just the right level of compression and muscle support for your longest rides. The comfort is further enhanced by the minimalist Free bib straps — less material to keep you cooler, but just enough to keep your short in place. At the leg ending there's a raw-cut edge that you'll hardly feel, and the combination of the Forza 2 fabric with just the right length and circumference means that no silicone gripper is required. It's a big leap forward in terms of comfort. The two large leg pockets are lined with an extremely light and fast-wicking fabric so you won't notice the extra layer, yet they hold a surprising amount of gear. The two mesh pockets at the lower back mean you have enough storage space that you can forgo a traditional pocketed cycling jersey. The Unlimited short really does know no limits.

Nice except for straps

31/07/2023

Shorts are nice, tight fitting. Pockets are great. The bib straps are very rough and really irritate my nipples. I can't wear these unless I have a base layer underneath to protect me from the straps, which means I can't wear them for most of the summer as it's too hot to wear a base layer.

chamois made to measure

23/06/2023

Nice bibs, i like the idea of skin on my arse after a tumble and the integration castelli has given it is top notch, my first bib with pockets and this is an eye opener as a casual rider this saves alot of comfort.
The progetto x2 chamois is like its made to measure, my saddle now feels buttery soft.
Once the straps are in place they are comfortable enough, probably i would prefer a lower cut to aid the comfort break.
Thanx Castelli for the excellent seat pad.

Tres confortable, se fait oublier.

03/04/2024

Je l’ai porté la première fois sur un VTT bas de gamme sur 35 kms sur des sentiers qui cognaient et il a fait son boulot impeccablement. Il ne serre pas les cuisses, je n’ai même pas remarqué les bretelles tellement la taille est est adapté pour moi (160 cm, 60 kg). Je n’ai absolument rien senti au niveau des fesses, bref j’en suis vraiment content. J’ai hâte de l’essayer sur mon Gravel qui arrive bientôt.

Fantastic Bib

23/04/2023

My first Castelli Bib and honestly not my last one. Used many other brands and due to a Strava challenge I received a voucher and gave Castelli a try. And as I stared this year with Gravel biking I choose this dedicated Gravel-Bib. Nevertheless I had my first ride today on my raodbike and can tell you that this Bib is fantastic. Perfect compression but not too snugg (me as a 100kg/180cm rider choose size XL - and was really anxious if it will fit), great fitting legs without silicone gripper and a padding which is gorgeous. One thing I might criticise are the straps. I think they are a bit “sharp” and when when you put on the Bib they roll up - but that’s all.

All in all my first but not my last Castelli Bib
