BODY-PAINT, THE BEST SHORTS I HAVE EVER WORN.
The Body Paint Bibshorts eliminates seams, stitching, and irritation by engineering all the traditional components of the short into a single piece of fabric with only one seam for pro level comfort.
CAD fabric means the traditional 8 panel construction and gripper elastic are woven directly into the fabric for nearly seamless construction and comfort
The single piece of fabric eliminates seams and covers the rider’s lower body as if it were painted on; this helps harness the output potential of the rider’s muscles and facilitates blood flow in the capillaries, getting more oxygen to the muscles. It also makes for a smoother fit, which creates less airflow turbulence and therefore less drag, which makes you faster.
“The seatpad is really good, and I even use it without chamois cream. Good job!
– THOR HUSHOVD
“Great short with a perfect fit. The seatpad seems to have a better fit then last year!
– ANDREAS KLIER
“It’s a big call, but I think these may be the best shorts I’ve ever worn. I LOVE THEM. The cut is simply fabulous, fit superb, in fact the fit so well that it’s like they’ve been custom made for me.”

Lovely products, I just bought a pair of the body paint shorts before heading to mallorca two weeks ago, they are fantastic!
I definitely wanna buy this BP’s. But I don’t want them in black, are you guys come up with some different colours the next collection, e.g. white or black/white????
Just got these a week ago and have given them many miles. First on sizing – definitely go up a size, they do not give a ton. The chamois is fantastic. fabric is super light and breathable. It really does disappear during the ride. Awesome job Castelli! I will be buying more of these in the future.
pretty cool bibs. i’d love to get them in other colours, too.
Had my first ride in the body paint shorts last Sunday…. it wears also very very comfortable. Successively I will phase out all my other cycling clothes the next coming years.
picked up a pair on ebay 2 weeks ago… amazing short.. best on the market..
They do look really cool though. Castelli are up there with Assos IMO, this short may have topped it.
Got to say they look good!
I ride over 200 miles a week ans 57 years old ride 7 days a week I have the bodypaints and enjoy them. I live the passion of cycling. Love Castelli cause you get what you pay
Sounds great, but $250 yikes!
Hi Protour, we’re working on other colors including white, but that special fabric becomes transparent. It’s kind of obscene, and we’re not ready to go there. The fabric has a unique kind of monofilament fiber construction that makes it really quick drying, but when it’s stretched then it becomes see-thru. Stay tuned because we’re still working on it. We’ve done up some white shorts for Thor for hot days in white, but they use a totally different fabric that’s not as good as the normal BodyPaint fabric.
I really looking for the body paint and want to make tattoo on body with it, after looking at many websites I found liquid latex body paint and want to know more on it so that it can be used for body.
What is the difference between the two shorts on the right in the product shot above. They look slightly different?
