Frequently Asked Questions
- What size should I order in the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts?
- Sizing on the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts follows Castelli Cycling's own size chart, which can run differently to everyday clothing sizes, so it's worth checking measurements rather than guessing your usual size. If you're between sizes or unsure, our team at The Bike Zone can help you pick the right fit, and we're happy to exchange if it's not quite right.
- How should I wash and care for the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts?
- Most technical cycling gear like the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts lasts longest with a cool machine wash, no fabric softener and air drying rather than tumble drying, which can damage stretch fabrics, chamois padding or coatings. Always check the specific care label sewn into the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts for exact instructions, as pad and fabric types vary.
- Can I return or exchange the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts if it doesn't fit?
- Yes, if the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts doesn't fit, you can return or exchange it in line with The Bike Zone's standard returns policy, provided it's unworn with tags attached.
