Enjoy my daily ride wearing the Castelli men's competizione LTD bib short.

I enjoy wearing the competizione bib shorts LTD due to the seat pad and restrictive fit. I am 6.0 feet tall and weight 156 lbs. Long legged with a short torso. I take a size large in these bibs. I have 4 men's competizone LTD bibshorts because I ride 5 or 6 times per week. My rides are between 1.5 to 2.0 hours long. I have ridden as much as 3.5 hours in this style of bib short. Have not had any seat issues such as sores using this bib short. I recently replaced my older competizione bib short that were 2 years old with new ones. Have found the same fit and quality as compared to the older competizone bib shorts. Price of these bib shorts are reasonable and sometime I can find them on sale for a few dollar less.

Solid Bib Shorts

I have been riding bib shorts for over 20 years and have used nearly every major brand. I would categorize these bibs as a solid standard bib. For me, that means that I can count on these to be a quality product that I can use on for anything up to a 100km ride. The bibs fit well and are comfortable, everything they should be.

I followed the sizing guidelines from Castelli and other reviewers and went up one size from my normal sizing. I am typically a Large in almost every brand, for these bibs, an XL fits like a large from other brands. I am 5'9" and about 90kg.

I would say that if you can get these bibs at or under $100, they are a solid purchase. I got them on a sale for $90 and consider that to be a good deal.

These bibs are not what I would categorize as "plush" or something that I would use for a 6 hour+/ultra ride, however, for a 1-4 hour ride, they are perfect.

Really well made product, decent sham, but like all Italian sizing, it runs small for Americans. Be forewarned.

My first bib short. While running one size small, this is my new favorite for long rides and comfort. I can't imagine buying a different brand next time I need a bib short. Padding is higher quality than any other brand I own. It also has better coverage than all my other shirts. I'm 6', 225 pounds and it (XL) fits perfect for me.

My only regret is how long it took to figure this out.

I am a 75 year old man with chamois problems...few work for moderate 20Mi and long 60Mi rides. As a rule Italian chamois' are the best and Castelli are the best of the best. These bibs fit and they work very well. Price, product and delivery by bike tire was excellent!

I have several pairs of bibshorts, including three pairs of Competizione. For most rides I go for these. Comfortable on my normal 2-3 hour rides, and comfortable for the occasional metric century. The pad is the best! Perhaps a bit pricey, but watch for the sales.

A note about the fit. Follow the size chart. I'm 5'-10", about 190 lbs. I get XL. The fit is snug, but they are for cycling! The straps seem short to get up to the shoulders, but they disappear while riding.

I am 5' 8" and a pretty fit 175 lbs or so (not a super lean bicyclists build but not fat either), I bought an XL and it fits great. My absolute favorite thing about these bibshorts is the Kiss Air2 pad, it is so comfy, I wish I would've purchased these years ago. Much comfier than the Pearl Izumi bottoms I've been riding for the last 10 or so year. I've been riding these shorts in HOT weather and find they are pretty breezy without showing everyone else your stuff. I also read where another reviewer had a painful experience due to the location of the straps. I fortunately have not experience this, but the review did cause me to notice the placement of the straps on these shorts is more inboard than the Velocissimo bibtights that I also really like. I'll be buying more Castelli bottoms because of the comfort factor.

First, the elephant in the room... sizing. Conventional wisdom is that Castelli runs small and that you should size up, but let me offer an alternative--read the size chart! I purchased the size indicated according to the measurements in the size chart and these fit perfectly. As to the bibs themselves, the chamois is super comfortable and I really like the compression and lightweight fabric. Longest ride in these so far is 100km, and they could have gone further. Really the only problem is that now I want to upgrade my old entry-level bibs because these are so much better!

Snug, but comfortable on the bike.

As others have said, the fit is snug. I am 6' and 164 lbs and the shoulder straps for the large are just long enough, but nothing to spare. If you were long waisted, I would definitely size up. I find the chamois more comfortable on long rides than their higher priced version, which I also own. On a ride, these bibs basically disappear. They are very comfortable and great on hot rides.

very comfortable bib shorts
by Coldoc

Castelli bike shorts are the best I have worn. These bib shorts are very comfortable. they provide great compression. 2 hours in the saddle and no chafing, no slipping, and pad give the right seat protection. The Castelli fabric is soft. I have other Castelli shorts and they all are my favorite. These won't disappoint.

I wanted to try a new brand of bib and I was not disappointed. The fit is tight, but it is a race bib. I based my size off of other brands I wear and I might have gotten the next size up. That said, the bib doesn't bind, give solid compression, and is cool for the Florida summer
