Why We Like The Castelli Espresso Bib Short
With its incredible versatility and performance-driven construction, Castelli’s Espresso Bib Short is a must-have for our summer of riding. The Espresso Doppio fabric is soft and stretchy, moving with our body as we push our pedals to the max, offering support without feeling too constrictive for a perfect fit. For days where we spend hours in the saddle, the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad provides unmatched support and comfort, while the stretch mesh bib straps keep us cooled off with necessary ventilation.

I like it better than the Endurance
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:

This bib is similar to the Endurance 3 bib that I have been wearing for a year, except it is better. It doesn't have that silly fabric elastic band at the cuff, which always stretches out and becomes useless. Instead, the lycra is raw-cut at the bottom. It runs small, same as the Endurance. I wish the straps were a bit longer.

Look great, feel great!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- XL
Mine are green - I probably could have bought an XXL but the XL is fine. I bought these to go with Espresso Mocha jersey. All the photos show both items to be a little lighter than the actually are, but still OK.

this is what a pro kit must feel like. I've worn castelli for years but never the higher end stuff. I ordered both the bib and jersey and couldn't be happier. I guess there really is a difference. highly recommend..
