Innovated Continuously! a couple of firsts…

On 9 November 1979, Castelli won the prestigious Corriere dello Sport Discobolo award. The presentation letter says, “Castelli… has, in a truly futuristic way, revolutionized clothing for cyclists.” In 30 years, nothing has changed. Each and every day we set out to create tomorrow’s revolutionary futuristic clothing. Castelli has been at the forefront of essentially every breakthrough in cycling clothing since we made wool shorts obsolete. Were not just creating this seasons fad; were setting tomorrows standards for an entire industry. 1977 First aerodynamic Lycra® short. 1983 First sublimation printing of jerseys. 1984 First functional thermal winter clothing. 1996 First fully aerodynamic skinsuit. 1998 First modern bib short (Progetto Y). 1998 First wicking fabric treatment (Prosecco). 2008 First radiating insulation (Radiation). 2010 Body Paint futuristic short.

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).
