Castelli Nanoflex Bib Shorts. Loose at end of shorts.

mathie

I bought a pair of these and the bottom of them is made of a lighter material. The shorts fit me well but the base seems like its a bit too loose.
Is that how they're meant to be?

Thanks

Cycle more and get bigger legs. That's pretty much it. What size did you buy?

I got xl.
The shorts are a tight fit.
The ends seem loose.
Not sure if they're meant to be like that.

Finding a lot of short are doing this. Two of our recent club short suppliers I. Be had the same problem .I won't buy shorts anymore if they don't have an old fashioned gripper as the manufacturers seem to be adding on a silicon impregnated inch or so strip to the bottom making them too long in the leg.

I Probably got short thighs or something. Find they move around as well.(not castelli as i dont have any but other ones i've tried, also find the silicon fabric isnt as good on hairy legs)

got told i was talking rubbish by our current kit supplier (told him i'd pay for them if they worked -didnt take me up on that)

Not sure if they're meant to be like that or not, but mine are too. I tend to wear mine with knee warmers, so that takes up the slack.

As they're tight on the rest of the leg mine tend to stay put.

I was amazed the first couple of times i used mine in the rain - the water just beaded off them.

They shouldn't be loose. I use castelli shorts in my non club gear stuff and they are tight but all over. But I do have quite big legs and wear a large.

I find my Assos shorts are like this, EXCEPT for while I'm pedalling, when they fit perfectly.
