This is my 3rd Castelli bibshort in roughly 8 years, I still have the first one, still usable if a bit rough around the edges & not sufficiently padded & fitting for a day-long ride. But still excellent, and holding together. I always want 2 good ones in the drawer of bike clothes for my day-long rides, now I have 2. Very pleased with this latest. Form-fitting, comfortable, excellent for long rides in hot, temperate & even cold weather (this last essentially as "underclothes").
I was looking to replace the Castelli gloves from our team kit. These are very close. I like how easily they go on and pull off. I do wish there was some type of material between the thumb and index finger for wiping your brow but I would buy these again despite that.
I used the sizing chart and originally ordered a Large. Too tight so I had to send back for an exchange to XL which fit much better. I also appreciate Bike Tires Direct making an exchange easy with a printed FedEx label. I did have to cover the return shipping but they covered the shipment coming back.
These bibs are very comfortable. The length, the material, the straps are perfection. While the pad is perfectly placed with all day comfort, the pad material is a bold RED color that will run onto the white.
Beware, recommend washing in cold immediately after riding and add a few Shout Color Catcher Dye Trapping laundry sheets to the wash. Hang dry immediately after washing taking care not to have any of the pad touching the white material.
Otherwise, 5 stars
I own the original unlimited and the 2nd generation unlimited, both in Medium for my XC MTB and
road bike. The 2nd generation felt tighter than the original Unlimited so I ordered a large in the endurance. Between a medium and a large I don't see a big difference, they both work. What I do know is during the first few miles it seemed like Castelli forgot the chamois but now it's my favorite part of the bibs. FWIW, I typically use Giordana FRC-Pro and Vero Pro bibs and so far I prefer the Castelli Unlimited Endurance.
