The Castelli Velocissimo Bib Knickers are almost indistinguishable from their long-legged brothers. This is worth mentioning, because it means that Castelli didn't cut out any of the features, only a few inches off each leg. The leg grippers are made of a seamless material that stretches around your calves, giving you a compressive fit that stays in place without digging into your legs. Of course there is a zipper on the back of each leg for easy on/off, and a bright reflective strip for visibility. The chamois pad is excellent for long rides: it cushions your sit bones and is made of a moisture wicking material so you stay dry. For exceptional warmth, the bibs are constructed with Castelli's most awesome Thermoflex material.

• Brushed Thermoflex fabric provides stretchy warmth
