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 Body Paint 4.X Speed Suit Long Sleeve.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Body Paint 4.X Speed Suit Long Sleeve 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.

Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: Castelli Body Paint 4.X Speed Suit Long SleeveThe Body Paint 4.X Speed Suit Long Sleeve from Castelli is unashamedly all about cycling as fast as you can. Whether on the track or time trialling it’s engineered to ensure optimal aerodynamics as speed increases.While you may have the aero bike, aero-bars, aero wheels and aero helmet, what about you and your body aerodynamics? The Body Paint 4.X Speed Suit Long Sleeve delivers a significant boost to your efficiency through the air as you get up to speeds of 45km/h and upwards. Two years of design, computer modelling and real-world testing, both at the Norwegian Technical University and on the WorldTour make this the most refined suit you can possibly own. The fit has been optimised for time trial riding positions, with the seam count reduced so as to offer streamlined airflow and also outstanding comfort. Longer cut legs, with flat grip tape grippers, provide a smooth transition between your suit and legs while arm thumbholes keep the suit perfectly positioned. You’ll also immediately notice how close to the body the suit fits – remember it’s designed for lean pro-tour riders so expect a second-skin fit. Last, but by no means least, a clear window pocket to the back makes space to display your race number, keeping it smooth, visible and drag-free. There’s also the bonus of not having to use safety pins on your favourite race suit.Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat PadInside the Body Paint 4.X speed suit is Castelli’s renowned Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. 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.
