Castelli Prima Short - Black / Hibiscus

Shorts are an obsession at Castelli. They are the most vital piece of clothing and one of the hardest to perfect. Even though the Prima is Castelli’s entry-level short, it proves that no compromises are made when it comes to comfort and performance.

It all starts with the women's-specific KISS Air2 Donna seat pad. The name itself reflects a process of constant improvement, beginning with the soft KISS pad, which was enhanced for breathability (Air) and further refined in the latest version with the softest-ever top fabric (2). It's designed for long rides, whether indoors or outdoors.

The fabric has been updated to Pro Dry Soft, featuring a smooth matte finish that feels cool on the skin while providing excellent support and quick drying. This short is built to last for years, with thoughtful details like stitched-in reflective patches instead of glued-on ones, and GIRO3 elastic leg bands with grip woven directly into the fabric.

This meticulous attention to detail—call it an obsession—is what makes Castelli’s entry-level short simply a better short.
