Castelli Podium Collection - Mortirolo Bib Short - Men's Black Grey, XXL

In the realm of relentless, grinding climbs, the Mortirolo is one near the top of the list. It has an average gradient of 10.5% for over 12 kilometers. ItAAAs a crushing climb by any standard and is touted by many pro cyclists as the most difficult climb in any of the three Grand Tours. The Castelli Mortirolo Bib Shorts capture much of the subtle splendor youAAAd expect from a name like Mortirolo.TheyAAAre part of CastelliAAAs Podium collection, and theyAAAre styled to match the rest of the Mortirolo lineup. What youAAAll get is a contemporary design, but one that is timeless to ensure your kit will still be just as stylish next season.The Mortirolo Bib Shorts are built with a seven-paneled design to mimic the muscular shaping of your legs, and Castelli uses flatlock seam construction to ensure a sleek, comfortable fit without irritation. One detail that we really like is the low cut front panel that facilitates natural breaks if youAAAre an over-the-top kinda guy. And if you prefer it out-the-leg, then itAAAs worth mentioning that these bib shorts donAAAt use gel grippers on the leg cuffs. This makes them comfortable and super easy to get on and off. Castelli uses a doubled lycra cuff here instead. The bib straps are stretchy mesh and disappear underneath your jersey. The Castelli KISS3 pad features triple-layer, multi-density foam to absorb road vibration, and it offers a velour elastic antibacterial surface fabric to reduce the possibility of saddle sores. The seamless construction ensures no hot spots or irritation and provides an anatomic molded shape. The Castelli Mortirolo Bib Shorts are available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and come in three colors -- Acid Green, Black/cyan, Black/grey. Please check the dropdown menu for availability.
