The Castelli Prima Woman’s Short is an entry-level short with the same kind of comfort found in top level race shorts. The comfort starts with the woman’s specific KISS Air² seat pad that has been made more breathable. To increase breathability, Castelli added more “air” to the pad. Air dries sweat instantly and brings in cooling air so a woman won’t overheat. Castelli made the skin layer even softer which adds to how long a woman cyclist feels comfortable on a long ride. The new Pro Dry Soft fabric with a smooth matte finish cools the skin and dries instantly. Wear the Prima short alone in the summer and stay cool, or slip on leggings for cooler weather wear. Grip was woven into the fabric of the Giro³ elastic. By weaving the grip into the fabric, it keeps the shorts in place without pinching the skin. Rear reflective panels have been added to improve visibility on early morning or dusk training rides and races.
