Former TdF podium finisher gives feedback on Body Paint!
The Body Paint bibshorts are partially the result of three years of development, some futuristic thinking and feedback from elite riders.
There’s no denying this is a high-end performance piece. Not only riders from the Cervélo TestTeam have been testing Body Paint, also other ProTour riders wanted to take part in the testing process, including an anonym former Tour de France podium finisher:
“I rode them today, wow- they are nice! I understand why they are called Bodypaint. I could feel the compression aspect. They were about an inch and a half above my regular tan line. But the fabric and the cut are amazing! Thanks Castelli!”
Body Paint Bibshort is a warm weather garment with a very low cut front and a nice airy mesh in back between the straps. The main body of the shorts is cut from a single piece of lycra, which is stretchy enough to conform to most bodies and eliminates the need for multi-panels and added seams that can chafe or unravel. It also makes for a smoother fit, which any aerodynamisist worth his weight in smoke trails will confirm creates less airflow turbulence and therefore less drag. (Which should make you faster).
