Its a bit comical that Castellis touting the 2nd generation Espresso cycling kits as having bolder logos because, in the grand scheme of cycling kits, these are pretty subdued. And thats a good thing, because the collections colors are modern and sophisticated without shouting, and they all work together to give you maximum flexibility (and days without looking the same).But enough about the fashion, lets talk techEspresso 2 BibshortsThe bibs continue to use Castellis Espresso Doppio fabric, which is super soft and has a matte, non-shiny look. A solid 27% Lycra content provides form fitting, mild compression.Inside is their Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, designed for long-distance riding comfort and with distinct mens and womens designs. MSRP is 180,00 / $200.00 / 185.00.The womens bibs get a slightly higher waist than before, with a lightweight mesh to support without squeezing your stomach. A revised Drop Tail and stretchier bib straps make bathroom breaks easier without needing to remove layers. Six color options are Ultraviolet, Belgian Blue, Black, Deep Bordeaux, Clay, and Paprika.Mens bibshorts also get a raised waistline with softer straps, the latter likely offering some of the same pit stop benefits, just on the other side. Colors are Belgian Blue, Dark Gray, Silver Moon, Smoky Gray, Black, Elmwood, Deep Bordeaux, and Paprika.Espresso 2 JerseysThe Espresso 2 jerseys come in short- and long-sleeve options, still with the Air_O Stretch fabric. Compared to the bibs, the tops have minimal Lycra to make them more breathable and improve wicking, but theyre still highly elastic for a sleek fit. Its lightweight, and thin, but still provides UPF30 sun protection. MSRP is 130,00/ $160.00 / 135.00.The womens jersey is slightly longer in the back for more coverage and easier pocket access. It comes in eight colors: Mango Mojito, Purple Mist, Winter Sky, Rosa Giro, Black, Belgian Blue, Ultraviolet, and Silver Moon.The mens jersey gets minor, unspecificed fit improvements, and both get tone-on-tone (Bold?) logos, a bit more subtle than the white branding on the bibs. Available in 10 colors: Mango Mojito, Clay, Smoky Gray, Black, Belgian Blue, Vivid Orange, Paprika, Ivory, Neon Cobalt, and Deep Mocha.Castelli-Cycling.comThe post Castelli Espresso 2 Cycling Kits Get Refined with Bolder Logos? appeared first on Bikerumor.
