Free Aero Race 4 Short

You've almost certainly heard the term, "free speed" bandied about in regard to aerodynamically-designed products. We're not sure "free" is exactly a proper term, after all, you have to buy the equipment, however, you do have to wear shorts too, so you might as well wear something that’s going to help you go faster with less effort. Semantics aside, the concept of a component providing a speed advantage via design isn't new, but its application to clothing is somewhat newer, and the Free Aero Race 4 Short from Castelli is a perfect example.


Its Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra content offers a perfect fit and since it's built for racing, it receives somewhat minimalist construction, but one that's made for aerodynamics and also comfort. Vortex dimpled fabric on legs boost aero performance while its updated Progetto X2 Air Seamless insert features one of the softest surface we've ever felt in a chamois.

As mentioned by others, I would size up. I usually wear a medium in Castelli and I got a large, which fits fine. The problem was that I got the gray shorts, which look great until you sweat and then they look terrible. I recommend a darker color.

When Castelli came out with the new Free Aero short I was uncertain if I would like them. I have worn the previous version and really liked them. I was pleasantly surprised by the new design features. The pad is improved (it was always great compared to many brands) and the elastic leg grip design is much improved over the previous. The shorts are very comfortable and do not move around. They do fit small - so order one size up.

Order 2 sizes larger

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

This size chart is a joke. These shorts are not made for cyclists with quad muscles. Measure yourself, then order 2 sizes bigger or you won?t be able to put these on. I ordered one size up and still these were a no go. The band at the bottom of the leg is very restrictive.
