Espresso 2 Bib Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Espresso 2 Bibshort is the best version yet—super soft, snug without being restrictive, and the Progetto X2 chamois still sets the benchmark for comfort. I’ve worn them for long climbs, short efforts, even commutes—and they never disappoint. The rear pocket is a clever touch too."

We reach for the Espresso 2 Bibshort when we want pro-level performance with everyday comfort. Castelli engineered this second-gen favorite with updated Espresso Doppio fabric for a more supportive, tailored fit that feels sleek on every ride. It’s soft, compressive, and perfectly shaped for time in the saddle, whether we're grinding up switchbacks or settling in for endurance miles.

Stretch-mesh bib straps improve breathability and stay comfortably in place, while the Progetto X2 Air Seamless chamois handles the hours with pressure-free support and adaptive airflow. Raw-cut leg endings with silicone grippers offer a barely-there feel that stays secure. Plus, a small rear pocket adds a touch of utility—ideal for stashing a gel or key when pockets are full. It's a bib we wear without thinking about, and that’s exactly why we keep reaching for it.
