Castelli's Velocissima Limited Edition Bib Short for Women is the answer to unyielding requests for a bib that offers support when we embark on our longest rides. With high-end compressive fabrics, and a supportive chamois that cushions road chatter, the Velocissima is sure to become an indispensable staple in your cycling wardrobe when you're heading for rides that make minced meat of your weeknight chamois.

The waist feeds in to mesh straps, which are lightweight and airy for a barely-there feel that keeps everything in place. And by ""everything,"" we of course mean the KISS Air women's chamois, which shares the women's-specific design with padding and relief strategically laid-out to accommodate women's anatomy.
