If you need your first pair of cycling shorts, we have two tips for you: first never, ever wear underwear with them and two: Castelli's men's Cento shorts offer a ton of value, and we promise that this is a great first choice. Thanks to the generous cut and pleasant materials, you'll soon be exploring your options on your upcoming trips.
The short Cento models are equipped with Fondo Fit from Castelli. This provides a more relaxed and less compressive fit to the quadriceps plus a longer inseam for comfort and a little more room. If you have plans to take long trips and want to do it in comfort up to stopping for coffee or resting in the middle of the trip these are your shorts. In the leg area, Castelli uses GIRO3 leg tapes to comfortably hold the edges in place without undue pressure or squeezing. KISS Air suede provides superior comfort and support as well as adequate protection from road vibrations and minimally padded saddles. Reflective inserts keep you visible in low light and Castelli recommends these bibs for temperatures ranging from 59 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit which is ideal for riding.
