Castelli Omloop Pro Bibshort 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 Shorts – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Castelli Omloop Pro Bibshort.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Omloop Pro Bibshort 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 Shorts – Cycle. 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 Shorts – Cycle. 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 Shorts – Cycle 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 Omloop Pro Bibshort 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 Omloop Pro Bibshort reviews there.

• Product ID 2: 736793UK

• Description: Castelli Omloop Pro BibshortThe Castelli Omloop Pro Bibshorts were first seen during the cold, wet and harsh Spring Classic races in Belgium, such as Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Their aim then and still now is to provide you warmth and flexibility when racing and training in cold conditions.  With their extended leg, cut to knee-length, the Omloop Pro Bibshorts keep the thighs and knees warmer but with a raw-cut edge rather than gripper elastic they’re brilliantly comfortable and flexible. When colder temperatures bite, the Thermoflex fleece-lined fabric is what keeps the cold out and muscles warm and supple. With excellent stretch, Thermoflex also allows easy freedom of movement when you’re putting the power down. The cut of the Omloop shorts is borrowed from Castelli’s top of the line Free Aero Race Bibshort, giving you the aero performance and muscle support you need to get your best performance out on the road, whether it’s across the cobbles of Flanders or on your local club run. Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat padLet’s look at the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad in more detail and see just why it’s so incredibly comfortable. 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.Once you try the Omloop Pro Bibshort you’ll quickly understand why they’re such a hit for racing and training in cold weather. Warmth and flexibility in perfect harmony.Features:Materials: 85% Polyamide, 15% ElastaneThermoflex fabric for maximum warmth and stretchAnatomic cut taken from the Free Aero Race Bibshort – Castelli’s top race short as used by Team SkyKnee-length shorts with a raw edge that doesn’t cut into the back of the kneeProgetto X2 Air Seamless seat padSuggested Temperature Range: 12 to 18 Degrees CBuy Castelli  Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
