FAQs

Troubleshooting
Leg grippers sliding down during a ride
Ensure the silicone stripes are clean and free of skin oils; wash the grippers with mild soap to restore grip.
Chafing during long rides
Ensure the shorts are pulled up correctly into the crotch area and consider using a chamois cream for rides exceeding three hours.
Fabric appearing thin after many washes
Use a delicate wash cycle and a garment mesh bag to prevent the bibshorts from snagging against other clothing items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your bibshorts, always wash them in cold water using a gentle, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can break down the silicone grippers and impair the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fabric. It is recommended to hang-dry the shorts away from direct sunlight. When putting them on, take care not to snag the mesh straps with jewelry or fingernails. Given the anatomical fit, ensure you consult the Castelli size chart to match your waist and hip measurements precisely, as the polyester blend provides a specific level of compression that should not be overly stretched or too loose.
