Castelli Palmares Due Bib Shorts - Women's
The bib shorts market has no shortage of high-dollar offerings packed with amazing features to satisfy the speed-seeking customer. However, even the competitive rider can find tremendous value in a pair of bib shorts that provide day-to-day versatility with everyday comfort and convenience.
