Castelli Entrata 2 Bib Shorts Black - XL
Renowned for product innovation, including the first consumer-available Lycra cycling shorts to anatomical seat pads, Castelli know how to make great cycling products. And that constant push for innovation and excellence has been distilled into the Entrata 2 Cycling Bib Shorts. They’re entry-level cycling shorts with high-end performance. Just right from the moment you pull them on, you'll soon be riding further and faster and more comfortably than ever before. The Pro Dry matte Lycra provides the ideal level of compression, remains perfectly flexible for smooth pedalling and deals efficiently with sweat. Mesh bib straps ensure your upper body remains cool and fresh and the smooth Giro3 leg grippers give a smooth but firm grip of the legs. And as with every Castelli short, the fit is sublime, the 8-panel design hugging and flexing in all the right places for outstanding comfort. They're made to last too, with the logos and reflective details stitched in so no peeling even after many seasons of use. Perfect. KISS Air2 Seat Pad When you're on the bike you'll also enjoy on-the-saddle comfort from Castelli's KISS Air2 seat pad. Next to the skin, you'll enjoy the luxury of Castelli's softest-ever surface fabric, delivering immediate comfort. Seamless construction and stretch fit all but eliminate chafing as you push the watts. Next comes the dual-density, variable-thickness padding. This sees maximum density and thickness across the ischial zone, reduced thickness around the perineum and then minimum thickness at the edges. This is all wrapped up in an anatomically shaped pad for optimal comfort for any distance.

Was looking to refresh my cycling bib drawer and the Entrata was discounted so I dropped by MEC, tried them on and bought them. All of my previous bibs were Louis Garneau sublimated with cycling club graphics and text.The Entrata does a good job. You may feel a bit like Borat putting on his mankini at first though - the shoulder straps are TIGHT - but they've already stretched after the first ride. The chamois isn't as high end as higher priced Castelli models but it is perfect for my needs and more importantly, it doesn't feel like I have a diaper on.The fit is very euro and tight - and the front comes to about 0.5in below your belly button. So if you have a bit of a gut, you might want to go with another model/make otherwise you'll be spilling over (and it ... MoreWas looking to refresh my cycling bib drawer and the Entrata was discounted so I dropped by MEC, tried them on and bought them.

So if you have a bit of a gut, you might want to go with another model/make otherwise you'll be spilling over (and it will likely be uncomfortable).I am 6' and 168lbs and went with the medium. Again, shoulder straps were really tight on first try, but after 1h working out on the indoor trainer, I could feel like they had already stretched. Although my waist is 31.5in and according to the sizing guide I could've gone with a Small, it would've been WWAAAYYY too tight.I plan on using these for indoor training and also as a bib under MTB shorts.

I read through the reviews and was almost deterred from buying these, due to all of the griping about their sizing. As it turns out, most of those complaints are probably the result of not taking a minute to take a few measurements before buying a $150ish piece of cycling kit. I'm of average build--34 waist and 5'10 height..I absolutely do not have a "climber" or "sprinter" build,nor a dad bod and fit into a pair of mediums--albeit a snug fit. A size up might've worked, but every bib that I've owned tends to loosen up over time and am partial to nicely broken-in race fit.While solid silicone band leg grippers seem to be absent from the industry's current offerings, the silicone grippers that these shorts have seem pretty good so far and I would rate them better ... MoreI read through the reviews and was almost deterred from buying these, due to all of the griping about their sizing.

For reference, that means longer than eight hours during 20-30 Celsius temperatures. That's considerably longer than any of my other bibs. One reviewer complained about the bib not covering the genitals fully--this is partially true, but between how shrinkage occurs during a ride and how much easier/quicker it makes relieving myself on a roadside, the complaint in question is moot for me.Overall, after about 10 rides with these shorts, I have liked them a lot and am, frankly, annoyed that I let the bad reviews from people who don't use sizing charts deter me.

I received these shorts as a gift, which had to be returned for a larger size. The sizing, as noted by others, is strange; even sized up, the shoulder straps are tight. Otherwise, the short is comfortable. But my main complaint is that the short has a lighter-weight and less-elastic fabric at the ends of the legs. After a few uses, the elastic has further weakened, such that the shorts flare out instead of gripping the thigh. They will be relegated indoor trainer use.

Overall good for the price.Fit is pretty standard castelli. I'm shorter at 5'5 so no issues with the strap length but good to keep in mind that these are designed for use on the bike and will break in with use.I can wear either small or medium (30 waist 31.5 hip) small if I want more compression snugger aero kind of fit or medium for more general use. Road with mediums on my longest ride to date at 250km so they are long ride worthy. Real difference with competizone ones is the level off compression so not necessary worth the extra cost. So for most one size up should do it though we're all different...Pad is great. Preferable to the more expensive castelli or PI options with good support and padding without feeling overly bulky. As per above good for long ... MoreOverall good for the price.Fit is pretty standard castelli.

As per above good for long rides or trainer use.Have worn well - a bit of loose side stitching and some thinning back fabric but only after a few thousand km's so well worth it still.Overall good support and quality for the price and def better than a bunch of more expensive options.
First off I'm shorter at 5'5 so can't speak to should strap issues that other might experience, but they are also designed for an on the bike position. Something to keep in mind.I didn't find them wildly tight. Medium is more comfortable for me if I want less compression (waist 30 and hip 31.5) but small works and isn't too tight either. So for most 1 size up should probably work but of course course we're all different. A few friends who also have these have found 1 size up to be good. They're also taller with no strap issues noted.Pad is great. Actually as good or better than some of castellis higher end ones or those more expensive ones from PI. Holds up well for long rides outside or for used on the trainer.

Same with a bit of fabric thinning on the backside. But still that's after some proper total mileage. Leg grippers are straight up and do the job.VS the competizione you are really getting more compression with that one. I didn't notice much difference. Pad is the same. Cheaper to go with these.Also have the plain shorts version but bibs are always better and stay in place way better VS shorts.Overall solid for the price point with little reason to spend more honestly.
The shorts on this are very nice. Good material, good details and features. I think I’m a little tall for them, so the suspender straps that come up over the shoulders feel somewhat uncomfortably tight, and they roll together a lot rather than saying flat, which adds to the discomfort. Maybe if I was a little shorter this wouldn’t happen, but I don’t have the issue with the straps rolling together and getting bound up and creating more pressure with other brands, so I think there’s more to it with this
I am 6'4" and almost 100kg. In every high street brand of clothing I take an XL. I bought these bibs in a 3XL, thinking that, even with comedic sizing, they should be OK. They weren't OK. These shorts are not intended for use by fully grown northern european types. The also make me wonder who small the XS shorts are, maybe suitable for 4 year olds?
Firstly, finding a set of bib shorts that fits you comfortably can be a long and expensive process, but ultimately the fit is most important. These Castelli Entrata work for me. I've tried many brands over the past few years. High-end, low budget, and many in between. Each persons fit will be obviously be different, but as a 5'8", 165 lb "stocky" guy with a short leg to long torso ratio, these fit nicely. Beyond the fit, they are clearly well made and the chamois is very comfortable. Not too thick, which I hate on other bib shorts. Used them on 4+ hour rides with no issues. I purchased two pairs, both on sale and these are now my go to bibs. Not necessarily my favourite design, but that is always going to be secondary to comfort and performance.
I have tried almost every brand of bib shorts over the past 6 years avoiding Castelli as I thought they were more hype than substance. I was dead wrong. I bought some Entrata shorts and now have 4 pairs and now two pairs of Entrata 2. For me the AirKiss 2 pad is the best on the market. These are comfotable and good looking for hours and hours. I now don’t wear anything else (except where I have to wear Team kit). These are not the most durable shorts as the grippers do loosen but at the price point there is nothing better in my opinion! Beware size up one size with Castelli kit.
Brought these for sessions on indoor trainer for winter. Noticeable lesser quality than the Free Aero shorts with less dense pad than the X2, not as contoured seams or plush straps, so set your expectations accordingly. However, if you want a well priced cycle short for shorter (<1 hour) rides, they’re still comfortable, look sleek in blue with touch of red, fit well inc great keg grippers. As usual with Castelli, size up. Altitude sold them for a great price and quick delivery.
