FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for road racing?
While they are suitable for road riding, they are specifically optimized for endurance and gravel, where the extra storage pockets are most beneficial.
Can I put a heavy tool in the pockets?
It is recommended to only carry lightweight essentials. Heavy items may cause the bibs to sag or feel unbalanced during the ride.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the standard Castelli size guide for women's bib shorts, measuring your hips and waist for the most accurate fit.
Are these bibs machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable in a gentle cycle, but you should never tumble dry or iron them.
What does the DT stand for?
DT typically refers to specific construction features in Castelli's garment technology aimed at enhancing durability or performance details.
Troubleshooting
Pockets feel too loose when full
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the shorts are too large, they will not provide the necessary compression to hold items securely.
Chamois discomfort during long rides
Ensure the bibs are pulled up correctly so the chamois sits flush against the skin without bunching or shifting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you select the correct size based on your measurements to maintain proper compression levels. To care for your Castelli bibs, always wash them in a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents, as these can compromise the technical properties of the fabric and the elasticized grippers. Always air dry the shorts away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the chamois padding and the elasticity of the bib straps. It is recommended to wash the shorts immediately after every ride to prevent bacteria buildup in the chamois.
