An incredibly engineered short can look deceptively simple from the outside. Our ultimate goal is a short that you can’t feel when you have it on, and the Mondiale is a significant step toward that goal. Our new Cinquanta fabric features 50% real Lycra® to make it insanely soft but with unprecedented muscle support. The stretch of this fabric allows us to give exceptional fit in a short with only two seams, so there’s practically nothing to chafe and nothing to fail. We’ve slightly reinforced the lie-flat leg ending and added a touch of silicone to prevent it from riding up.

We’ve used our proven Progetto X2 Air Donna seat pad, and we’ve bonded in a reinforcement on the side panels that gives a slimming effect on the hips. In keeping with the clean design lines, we’ve used a muted logo that matches this short’s classic timeless quality. The straps of the bibshort feature no-sew bonded reinforcement and a new SnapLock fastener so you can open the bibs for nature breaks. The short version has Castelli’s double-layer Soft Touch waistband that lies flat and doesn’t constrict.
