The Castelli Velocissima 3 Short is comfortable in both high intensity and long-distance endurance rides. Besides good in varying levels of distance and intensity, the Velocissima keeps a rider cool and dry in hot weather as well as shielded from chilly wind in fall and spring weather. While it’s a midrange short, if a woman cyclist had one short to ride in then the Velocissima 3 would be a great choice. It allows your skin to breath while shielding from cool wind. It wicks sweat no matter what temperature. Castelli’s Endurance Evolution fabric helps make the short so adaptable to varying types of rides in different temperatures. The fabric keeps you dry while compressing just enough so your shorts don’t crease nor snag on your seat. Your skin won’t chafe against the supremely soft surface. Raw-edge leg ending keeps shorts in place without imprinting the leg with marks. The bib straps are also highly breathable, so they stay dry underneath your cycling jersey. Specifically designed to cross in front or back, they can stretch far enough so a woman can take a pee break without removing the bibs nor jersey. The KISS Air² Donna seat pad has a new improved shape. A higher-density foam and softer top fabric has extended the length of time a woman can ride without getting chafed and sore. A seamless, soft, stretchy skin layer and dual-density padding are shaped for a woman’s body.
