The Castelli scorpion logo is an internationally recognised symbol of quality, so despite being the premium brand’s entry level offering, these shorts will still perform to a high level.

Using a compressive matte-finish ProDry fabric these shorts have a specially designed silicone gripper to provide a clean finish and keep the leg in place without a “sausage leg” effect.

What Do Pro-Riders Really Get Up To?

A “Kiss Air” seat pad offers a seamless layer against the skin, with continuously variable protection designed to provide padding where it’s needed. Anatomic shaping means that the pad should fit well without chafing of rubbing during the pedal stroke.

We found these for £70 at Wiggle.
