The majority of the Competizione 2 Short features our Vortex textured fabric. We've used a wide, stretchy leg gripper with integrated silicone to ensure a comfortable, secure fit. The KISS Air2 seat pad has most of the comfort of our top seat pad but represents maximum value. The intangible part that you'll appreciate most is our knack for building in perfect fit, thanks to the Castelli pattern engineering team. This is the short that brings the best of Castelli's know-how in building comfort performance shorts into an accessible product for your cycling wardrobe.
