FAQs
Can I wear these for mountain biking?
Yes, they are highly suitable for gravel and cross-country mountain biking due to their durable construction and integrated storage.
Are the cargo pockets secure for heavy items?
The pockets are designed for lightweight items like snacks and tools; avoid placing excessively heavy items that might cause the shorts to sag.
How do I wash the KISS Air2 pad?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals and do not tumble dry.
Does the sizing run true?
Castelli gear typically features a performance, race-oriented fit. If you prefer a slightly more relaxed feel, consider checking the size chart against your measurements.
Can I use these for indoor trainer sessions?
Absolutely, the breathability and comfortable chamois make them an excellent choice for long indoor training rides.
Troubleshooting
Leg grippers sliding or not staying in place
Ensure the silicone strips are clean and free of skin oils or sunscreen, as residue can prevent them from gripping effectively.
Visible wear on bib mesh
Always use a protective laundry bag during the wash cycle to prevent the mesh from snagging on zippers or hooks from other garments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the bib shorts fit snugly without restricting blood flow. Because of the technical fabric, follow these care instructions: machine wash cold using a delicate cycle and a mesh laundry bag to protect the mesh bib straps. Always hang dry in a shaded area to maintain the elasticity of the Lycra and the integrity of the silicone grippers. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the seat pad and the compression quality of the fabric.
