Castelli Free Aero Race 4 Kit Bib Shorts

Men's Sizing

Men's and unisex Castelli sizing is based on your physical measurements and the garment's intended use. Race items are designed to use fabric stretch to achieve a very snug fit; as such physical garment sizes vary within the range. Please don't compare sizing with other manufactures. The sizes shown above are for the maximum size, so someone with a 99cm chest would be a size L. If you have a 101cm chest then you're an XL.

Women's sizing

Women's Castelli sizing is based on your physical measurements and each garment's intended use.

Racier items are designed to use fabric stretch to achieve a very snug fit, as such physical garment sizes may vary within the range. Please do not compare sizing with other manufactures.

Please note that sizes shown above represent the maximum size for the garment, so someone with a 88cm bust would be a size M or if you have a 91cm bust you are a size L. You do not need to size up for jackets or vests.

Men's Gloves

Women's Gloves

Glove sizing uses the physical measurement around your hand as displayed above. Gloves should be snug: if you find the palm fits loose when in the cycling position you will probably need to size down. Always use the pull tags to pull on and remove the gloves. If there are no pull tabs fitted, roll the gloves off so they end up inside out.

Men's Socks

Please select your sock size based on your euro shoe size. If you are between sizes, we recommend you size up.

Women's Socks

Please select your sock size based on your euro shoe size. If you are between sizes, we recommend you size up.

Shoe Covers (unisex)

Multi-size Castelli shoe covers will fit snuggly on most shoes in the suggested range. However, please consider sizing up if your shoes are wider than standard or have large exterior dial-style buckles or if you are towards the top end of a size on the guide above.

So for example if you have a wide fitting shoe with external buckles and are size 44, consider a 2XL cover rather than squeezing into a L/XL cover.

As with Castelli overshoes, If you have a side dial-style closure we don't recommend a side zippered shoe cover, instead choose a design with choose a rearward zipper.

If your shoes are designed for touring, commuting or mountain biking please select an All-Road shoe cover as Castelli's standard shoe covers will not fit this style of shoe.

CHPT3 – Tailored Sizing (pre-2020)

CHPT3 clothing uses a tailoring system for its sizes. The physical chest or waist size is used as the garment size. If you have a 40" chest, you will need a 40" jersey. Please note that while the CHPT3 range is not designed for racing, it is still a close fitting athletic design suitable for active cyclists.

CHPT3 - 2020 range onwards

Men's and unisex Castelli sizing is based on your physical measurements and the garment's intended use.

The sizes shown above are for the maximum size, so someone with a 99cm chest would be a size L. If you have a 101cm chest then you're an XL.

Sidi fitting guide

Like many handcrafted Italian shoes, Sidi cycling shoes feature a slim fit, the equivalent of a ‘D’ width. In our experience, if you’re usually a 45 in cycling shoes, you’ll be a 45 in Sidi shoes.

However, you also have the option of Sidi’s half sizes. These use the same length soles as the main size (i.e. 45 and 45.5 are the same length) but use a larger volume upper. This is perfect if you need a touch more width, have slightly higher arches or use an insole that takes up some of the volume of your shoe.

The volume and fit of the shoe is also affected by the closure system utilised. We’ve found that the combination of a central dial with the Soft Instep 4 strap means the Sidi Wire 2 has a slightly roomier toebox than the rest of the range, making it ideal for those seeking Italian styling with a little extra wiggle room.

If you need more volume, Sidi’s range of Mega fit shoes feature soles that are 4mm wider and have larger uppers for those with higher volume feet or deep orthotics.

Of course, everyone’s feet are different and slipping the shoes on will give you the best idea. We’d recommend trying them on towards the end of the day or even after a long ride to give your feet a chance to swell to their maximum size.

If your toes are brushing the end of the shoe, they’re too small. If you stand on tiptoes and the heel of the shoe doesn’t lift with the heel of your foot, creating a gap, they’re too big.
