Castelli Lw 2 Bibtight features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Tights. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Castelli Lw 2 Bibtight.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Lw 2 Bibtight is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Tights. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Tights. Brands like Castelli are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Tights category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Castelli Lw 2 Bibtight Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Castelli Lw 2 Bibtight reviews there.

• Description: Castelli LW 2 BibtightThe Castelli LW 2 Bibtights are specifically designed for winters that are progressively getting milder, hence the name LW, or Light Winter. With winter in many parts of the world becoming less extreme in terms of temperature, Castelli have taken a keen focus on breathability and flexibility, with the type of performance more usually found in race shorts.  That’s not to say the tights aren’t warm, the upper section uses cosy Thermoflex to keep your thighs, knees and sensitive parts insulated from the cold. Below the knees is where the extra breathability and flexibility really shines, the non-brushed Nano Flex Light, featuring a water-repellent finish, helps regulate temperature perfectly while not restricting smooth pedalling. Continuing the lightweight feel Castelli also avoids zips at the ankle and with their anatomic race cut, based on the race-winning Free Aero Race Bibshorts, the LW2 tights also deliver exceptional performance and fit.Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat padInside the LW 2 Bibtight is the top of the line Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, providing support and comfort for even the longest of winter rides. The first contact point against the skin, the upper skin-care material, is now seamless and even softer than previous versions letting you enjoy smooth and chafe-free pedalling. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it, thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum – the result is intense comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you’re on the saddle for hours on end.For milder winter weather, and high-intensity cold-weather training the LW Bib Tights strike a perfect balance of protection, warmth and freedom of movement. Whether you’re on a mild-temperature long winter base ride or hitting some early season springtime intervals these are a perfect choice.Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterThermoflex upper portion, Nano Flex Light fabric below the kneeAnatomic cut taken from the Free Aero Race Bibshort, Castelli’s top race short as used by Team SkyLower leg is non-brushed to prevent overheating yet features a water-repellent finish to protect from road sprayProgetto X2 Air Seamless seat padSuggested Temperature Range: 10 to 18 Degrees CBuy Castelli  Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
