Castelli

Podium Collection Madeleine Bib Short - Women's

It seems like quality women’s bib shorts have taken an awfully long time to come to the market. After decades of marketing only to those with Y-chromosomes, clothing manufacturers have realized that there’s another group out there that would like to take advantage of the benefits provided by bib shorts. The Castelli Madeleine Women’s Bib Shorts draw on years of innovation, but Castelli designed them for the shape of women’s bodies and with an Italian eye for design.

The limited edition Madeleine Bib Shorts utilize some of Castelli’s time-tested technologies, including a KISS3 chamois and Action Micro fabric to produce bib shorts that are lightweight yet durable and comfortable yet stylish. The Action Micro is used through the legs of the shorts to wick moisture away from your skin while you’re riding. Breathe Lycra is used in the bib straps and is a mesh fabric designed to move moisture rapidly away from your skin without compromising any breathability.

The KISS3 chamois is one of Castelli’s longest-running models, and with good reason. It has an extremely low profile while still providing the support and comfort necessary on long rides. It has multiple densities of foam padding, with the highest-density foam placed right under your sit bones. In short, it’ll keep you comfortable without making you feel like you’re wearing a diaper.

The Castelli Madeleine Bib Shorts are Violet and come in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large.
