BodyPaint, my favorite bibshorts

The BodyPaint 2.0 bibshorts are partially the result of feedback from our professional cycling teams, and up close there’s no denying this is a high-end performance piece. They’re a warm weather garment with a very low cut front and a nice airy mesh in back between the straps. The shorts on the Body Paint Bibshorts are formed from a single piece of seamless fabric for a naturally supportive fit. The short feels like it is hugging you perfectly in any position, thanks to this anatomic fit and the as well as a highly compressive fabric. The main body of the shorts is cut from a single piece of Lycra. This smooth fit, combined with the aero dimples employed in the material, make this is the most aerodynamic bib short on the market. We have engineered the dimples into the fabric to induce flow separation and reduce aerodynamic drag. Think of it as the clothing equivalent for the Zipp rim dimples. Smooth fit combined with aero dimples. Perhaps nothing in these bib shorts has benefited as much from our association with professional cycling teams as the Progetto X2 Air Seat Pad. The Cervélo TestTeam and Garmin-Barracuda teams spend three years testing ...

Video: Garmin’s special weapon for epic mountain stages

Creating clothing for athletes at the highest level of the sport is the most demanding proving ground for Castelli. Ryder Hesledal will not only be reaping the benefits of his lightweight Cervélo R5ca bike on the epic Giro mountain stages, the super light weight and quick drying Castelli Inferno shorts and Climbers jersey gave him an extra advantage in the big mountains. CLIMBERS JERSEY – its almost impossible to see the difference between the Garmin Aero Race jersey and the Climbers jersey on television. Made from our super light weight Strada Light 3D mesh, and an aero Velocity fabric, it’s cut to hug the torso and to eliminate any excess fabric flapping when battling into the wind. It’s 90 grams of next-to-nothing, our quickest drying jersey ever, and it gives up just 3 watts at 40 km/h compared to the Aero Race jersey. Super light weight and fast drying Strada Light 3D mesh. One of the jersey’s advantageous properties is that it hardly absorb water. After all, what good would a lightweight jersey be if it soaked up water like a standard cycling jersey. So it’s light whether wet or dry, and the fabric is knit as a mesh. This ...
