We like to work ourselves hard on our rides, but that doesn't mean we don't value comfort as well. Rather than subjecting ourselves to an irritating kit, we opt for the Free Unlimited Bib Short from Castelli. With Unlimited Lycra fabric and the Progetto X2 seat pad, we're provided with a stretchy feel that moves with us while we pedal and plushy support that lasts for however many miles we're chasing. It's ideal for gravel riding and for getting off the pavement to chase whatever's down the beaten path.
