Castelli Free Aero RC Bibtights - dark tarmac 305

The performance tight with the right weight for most winter riding, with a focus on comfort, stretch, and protection.

Features of the Castelli Free Aero RC Bibtights:

• Nano Flex 3G fabric from waist to knee for soft warmth with maximum stretch and water repellency
• Nano Flex stretch woven fabric with brushed fleece inside at lower leg for splash protection on wet roads
• Stretchy bottom of leg with raw-cut edge means ankle zipper is not necessary
• Minimalist bib straps, as found on the Free Aero RC Bibshort, don’t add extra bulk
• Rear pocket at bottom of bib straps
• Reflective tabs on back of legs
• Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad for long hours in the saddle

The Free Aero RC Bibtight is made to be your first choice for most of your winter riding. Everything about it is focused on keeping you comfortable and at the right temperature. Every detail, every fabric, every seam will make your winter riding better. This is the tight for those cool to cold days. Not for bitter cold, when you’ll want to use a Sorpasso or Sorpasso Wind. Not for mild days, when you’ll use leg warmers or a Semifreddo Bibtight.

This is for maximum comfort on those days when you need warmth but you’re not fighting for survival — those days when you’re doing long rides getting ready for the season. Most of the tight is constructed from Nano Flex 3G fabric. The third generation of Nano Flex is luxuriously soft, warm, and stretchy. But it also offers excellent breathability, keeps a lot of the wind out, and has the updated Nano Flex water- repellent finish. The lower legs are in the lighter-weight Nano Flex stretch woven fabric with a lightly brushed inside and with leading water repellency.

For the rest of the tight Castelli has kept it simple: minimalist Free bib straps that you won’t notice, and raw-cut leg endings that are stretchy enough to not need ankle zippers, improving comfort when you pull shoecovers over the top. This is supposed to be your long-ride comfort tight, so the Progetto X² Air Seamless pad will be protecting your backside.
