The Velocissimo 4's provide just the right balance of soft, fleecy warmth and minimalist support for training in chilly temperatures and blustery conditions. Castelli uses Thermoflex fabric to keep cooler temperatures from plunging your body temperature when you're riding in early spring and autumn. Because there's no chamois you have the option of wearing your favorite padded shorts underneath for additional warmth and sit bone support.

I normally wear an XL in all things Castelli, but the VELOCISSIMO 4 TIGHT - NO PAD fits much smaller than other Castelli tights. They are so tight I am worried about damaging the fabric as I struggle to pull them on. I can barely get them over my quads and had to reposition them several times to get the zippers closed below my calves. The seaming in the crotch makes it unadvisable to wear these tights as a skin layer, they should be worn over other cycling shorts with a chamois to protect you from the center line seam. Speaking of seams, there are a lot of pronounced seams in these tights and you feel each one as you pedal (probably exacerbated by the previously mentioned sizing issue). The soft and stretchy fleece fabric is adequately warm at 40-50 deg F, but quite slippery on the saddle, this might be a concern for some. I also noticed that the elastic inside the waistband is adverse to laying flat and tends to twist or roll. Unfortunately since I bought these tights directly from Castelli I am unable to exchange or return them due to their restrictive Returns Policy which states "New and unused gear can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. Product must be returned unworn and unwashed, with the original packaging, including manufacturer tags." I should have purchased these from Backcountry/Competitive Cyclist since they have an Exchange/Returns policy much more appropriate for online shopping. Overall I want to like these tights, but the sizing issue has caused them to be so tight that they are unusable and due to Castelli's limited Returns Policy I have no option but to sell/trade them off to someone smaller. I rated this item at 2 Stars, one for the fabric and another in hope that they would perform as expected if sized properly.

Basically order 3 sizes up and your good. I wear a 33 in Jeans a xxxl fits right. If your bigger than a 33-34 jeans waist look elsewhere.
