Description The Velocissimo 2 provides top-tier comfort at an affordable price.
Castelli has made a winter knicker that both feels and performs like more premium models but without the higher cost. Their Thermoflex fabric used throughout is plush and is excellent at fighting off bitter temperatures. The dual-density KISS3 chamois keeps you flexible and comfortable all day long and shares the seamless anatomical design of Castelli's higher-end Progetto X2 Air pad. Mesh bib straps up top provide maximum ventilation and minimum bulk, while down low, the GIRO3 ankle grippers keep your kit aligned and sealed from the elements.
Also available in a full-length tight, with or without a chamois.
Note: Castelli tops and bottoms are designed with a performance cut that often runs smaller than that of other manufacturers. Consider sizing-up one size to ensure a comfortable fit — e.g., if you normally wear a Medium, select a Large in Castelli. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Very nice Knickers but the sizing is way off
3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.
I like the Knickers but the sizing was way off. I normally wear a M, I had a hard time getting into the M so exchanged them for L. I could get into the L but they were shill to small, had the exchange them again for XL. With all the return shipping, they were not a bargain.

The fit is suspect

I'm not sure what's going on with Castelli's line lately. These knickers replaced a pair of medium Sorpasso knickers that developed bursted seams in the thigh where the thread had unraveled. In addition, the X2 pad in the Sorpasso was incredibly bulky to me. The KISS pad in the Velocissimo is more what I'm used to in a Castelli pad.
My only real issue is that the fit is extremely tight (my build is wiry to begin with). I developed a pinch bruise next to a panel seam. Otherwise, they are warm and block the wind nicely.
