Gravel riding is often slower than road riding but with higher intensity efforts, so breathability is paramount. The Castelli Unlimited Thermal Jersey keeps this in mind with a combination of fabrics that will keep your core warm whilst providing plenty of ventilation, so you stay dry and comfortable for longer. The body and sleeves of the jersey use the brushed fleece Castelli Warmer Fabric that provides insulation whilst letting just the right amount of air through for ventilation that doesnt compromise warmth. The side panels use Castelli Warmer X-Stretch fabric to create a perfect fit and a jersey that will move with you. Functionality is the aim of the game with the Unlimited Thermal Jersey with 3 rear pockets, an easy-sliding YKK Vislon zipper and gripper elastic at the waist to hold the jersey in place. Pair this jersey with a Perfetto RoS Vest or Aria Vest for cooler conditions. Key Features Castelli Warmer fabric on body and sleeves Castelli Warmer X-Stretch fabric on sides panels Gripper elastic at waist 3 rear pockets Easy-sliding YKK Vislonzipper with neck protector 12 18C / 54 64F Weight: 239g (M)

If you had to choose one jersey to do it all, this would be the one. The name kind of says it all: Endurance. For your long rides, a jersey needs to be able to do it all, offering comfort, carrying capacity, a wide temperature range with sun protection, and good aerodynamics. This jersey checks all those boxes. The comfort comes from a close-to-body fit with stretchy fabrics so it doesnt feel tight. Four different fabrics keep you dry while covering every temperature range from mild to hot. And extra comfort comes from details like the flap behind the zipper to protect your neck and the stretch sleeves with raw-cut edges that never bind or constrict. The pockets feature Castellis drop-pocket design, which places the pockets lower on the back for easier access. Theres even a fourth zippered pocket for valuables. Your long rides and even your short rides will be faster with less effort because this jersey is also highly aerodynamic, especially through the sleeves and shoulders, which feature the same fabric used on several generations of our pro-level race jerseys. The old saying is jack of all trades, master of none. The Endurance Elite Jersey really is master of all. What It Is The ideal all-around jersey is great for endurance rides, offering comfort and convenience features, excellent moisture management, and Castellis aerodynamic wizardry. Product Features Endurance and all-around jersey with mix of aerodynamics, comfort, and convenience Velocity dimpled fabric on front and shoulders for faster drying Air Mesh sleeves with raw-cut sleeve ending Multifilament fabric on back blocks 94% of UV rays Nervato fabric at armholes for improved aerodynamics Full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper with neck protector Silicone gripper elastic at waist Zippered security pocket Drop-pocket design for optimal pocket placement 16-35°C / 61-95°F Weight:153 g

This is the jersey that brings Castelli's fabric and construction engineering together in one of the most refined jerseys we've ever made. The goal with this jersey was to make it as light as possible without sacrificing transparency, sun protection and convenient features like a zippered key pocket. We've brought in a new fabric that we call Oltre, which roughly translates to beyond, and it really goes beyond what you normally find in a jersey, with the horizontal stripes giving great breathability and stretch while providing good support for the pockets. The jersey will do double duty in your wardrobe: It's the jersey to reach for on hot days or big climbing days in the mountains. But it's also the jersey you'll pull out when you just want to look good, thanks to the no-sew construction around the sleeves and hem and the close attention to detail in every stitch, seam and component. It's designed with a fit that is close to body but slightly more relaxed than our race jerseys. Features: The deluxe, impossibly lightweight performance jersey Oltre 70g stripe mesh base fabric Stretch woven pocket reinforcement No-sew welded sleeve and waist trim Floating pocket construction with 3 main pockets and zippered key pocket YKK® zipper Sublimated overprint Superleggera logo on back 22°-40°C / 70°-104°F Weight: 111g
The Raddoppia 3 is Castellis winter workhorse, designed to deliver everything you need for winter riding without any added complications. The winter cycling jacket is windproof, water repellent, breathable, reflective, and warmly insulated to keep you riding no matter what. The Raddoppia 3 achieves this by using a combination of fleece lined GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER on the front and back to keep the wind out and the warmth in. The sleeves and side panels have stretchy GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER 150 inserts for a better fit and breathability. Castelli has kept the design simple, and the only embellishments are the large reflective stripes on the chest and lower back. Functional details run throughout the jacket: there is a YKK Vislon zipper which is easy to pull even with gloves on, a drop-tail for extra protection against road spray, and a zipper pocket for valuables. Key Features Warm and reflective, the ideal winter cycling jacket GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER X-Fast fabric with fleece backing GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER 150 lighter weight side panels and sleeve inserts Large reflective stripes on chest and lower back YKK Vislon zipper 3 rear pockets with 4th zipper key pocket Drop-tail panel for extra protection -3 10C / 27 50F Weight: 388g (M)
THE SOUL OF CYCLING The name Anima means soul in Italian, and that's what this jersey captures. It means getting the little details right, like perfect fit, soft, quick-drying, stretchy fabric, an easy-sliding YKK® zipper, Castelli's innovative drop-tail pocket construction, and our Zen collar design that protects your neck from the zipper. We keep the styling clean and let the details make it special. Features: ProSecco Strada Donna fabric provides great moisture management Contrast inner collar and zipper-protection flap YKK® Vislon® zipper with scorpion zipper pull Drop tail with 3 rear pockets Silicone gripper elastic at waist Reflective piping 18°-32°C / 64°-90°F Weight: 106g
The long-sleeve Gabba is one of our most versatile pieces. 100% wind protection with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® water protection and best-in-class breathability. With a light base layer it's good for mild temperatures, or with a thermal layer you can ride it below freezing. If you have just one jacket in your cycling wardrobe, this should be it. Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfaces GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathability Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection Zippered ventilation opening on side of chest 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets The Perfetto RoS 2 is the one jacket that does everything well. If you look carefully, the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is essentially a long-sleeve version of the Gabba RoS 2. So it's just a warmer Gabba? Not really. The full sleeves fully turn it into a jacket, but one that covers a wide range of conditions. Like the Gabba, the RoS insignia signifies that it excels in dry conditions thanks to the high breathability, as well as in wet conditions thanks to the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. There's a light fleece-lined water-resistant version on the forward-facing surfaces and a lighter and stretchier fabric on the back that maximizes the breathability while providing excellent water repellency. The Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket keeps all the cold wind out while being much more breathable than the typical polyurethane membranes used on most jackets that try to compete with the Perfetto. When you stay drier, you don't need as many layers underneath. The beauty of this jacket is that it doesn't have any insulation on its own, so a thin base layer is just right for mild conditions, while adding an insulating layer (a thermal jersey or Castelli's Alpha 2nd Layer) will take you to cold temperatures. You decide. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets hold more gear. While the Perfetto remains decidedly a performance fit, the new model has a touch more room through the chest, shoulder, and biceps. This is the one jacket that belongs in every cyclist's quiver.

This is the original jacket/jersey that started an entire new product class: the Gabba. It's a water-resistant short-sleeve jacket that's equally ideal for dry conditions. Made to be worn with our Nano Flex arm warmers, it allows you to keep your core warm without overheating. The 5th generation of the Gabba, from the inventors of the Gabba Now more water-resistant than ever Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfaces GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathability Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets In 2010 Castelli introduced the Gabba to the pros and changed the way pros race in the rain and cold. And the way they dress for cool-weather training. The Gabba also happens to be the perfect cool-weather piece for all the non-pro cyclists out there because of how it keeps your core warm and dry while not being too hot. The latest Gabba is the fifth generation, and this current version is essentially waterproof while maintaining the breathability and wind protection that have always made the Gabba so good. It uses two separate Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics: warmer and 100% waterproof over the front, shoulders, and sleeves, along with a lighter, more breathable, and stretchier fabric on the back that is sufficiently protective against the water that hits your back. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets hold more gear. Typically, we'll layer the Gabba over a sleeveless base layer and short-sleeve jersey, and pair it with Nano Flex arm warmers for cooler and/or wet conditions, or Seamless warmers for mild conditions. The Gabba RoS 2 is a must-have for autumn and spring riding.

The top rated winter jacket, bringing warmth, breathability and a high level of rain protection along with a soft, comfortable fit. his jacket leads the way in demonstrating how a winter jacket should perform. Rain or Shine engineering makes this our best jacket ever for dry conditions while also providing significant rain protection GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 fabric for wind protection with high breathability and effective rain protection Reduced seaming with seam sealing on shoulders reduces chances for water to enter through stitching Double-layer Alpha construction separates insulating layer from wind/water barrier to let you better regulate ventilation Water-resistant YKK® Vislon® zipper slides easily for better regulation of airflow Raw-edge waist with silicone gripper lies flat and seals out wind Double-layer cuff integrates with glove to prevent cold wind or water from entering at wrist Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for excellent close-to-body fit that still accommodates a wide range of body types Back ventilation 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes Zippered secure side pocket for valuables. Cyclingnews.com says this jacket is sets an all-new benchmark in what a winter cycling jacket can achieve and it's exactly what we think the perfect winter jacket should be. We started with a list of things we didn't like about the current jackets and set out to solve them—and in the process made our best jacket ever. The first issue to resolve related to moisture management. Even the best of the currently available fabrics provide a good level of breathability but can't keep up with the sweat generated during high-intensity riding. So we invented a double-layer construction that allows you to open an outer wind-protection layer while keeping the insulation layer closed and thereby allowing airflow inside the jacket to evacuate moisture while avoiding direct contact with the skin. On a long climb we'll completely open the outer layer to allow moisture to escape, and when we start the descent we close the outer layer and are completely dry inside. It works so well that sometimes it feels like magic. New for this year is a softer, warmer 3D insulation-layer fabric that provides better warmth, moisture management and fit. Next we focused on the openings: neck, waist and, most of all, wrists. The neck comes up high and is shaped to move with you, whether you're standing or in an aero position being a January hero and attacking your mates. For the waist we've created a stretch layer with a silicone bead that lies flat and completely seals out wind without bunching or riding up. New for this year is a brand-new double-layer wrist opening with an inner layer to go under your glove that seals tight to your wrist, and an outer layer that goes over your glove so that any rain will roll down the outside of the glove and not end up inside. Of course, the ultimate jacket will also hold up well in wet conditions, so we used GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric along with waterproof seam taping on critical seams around the shoulder. Other seams are hidden out of direct water flow, and the water-repellent treatment on the fabric is sufficient to prevent most moisture from entering. We call it essentially waterproof, using our own subjective judgment to find a balance between water protection, breathability and comfort. It doesn't mean that no drop will ever come in, but we do longish rides in real rain and stay completely dry. All these features make it a favorite of our staff and most of our ambassadors, and the most versatile performance jacket for cold-weather training we've ever created.

The lightest, fastest, and most breathable jacket, great for high-intensity rides or staying at the right temperature in cool conditions. Membraneless, with Polartec® Alpha® insulation. Nano Flex Light woven fabric all around partially blocks wind, but lack of a membrane guarantees maximum breathability Polartec® Alpha® active insulation on chest, sleeves, and upper back for extra warmth YKK® Vislon® zipper covered to keep wind out Stretch sleeve ending easily tucks into glove or can cover glove wrist to keep out the cold Close-to-body fit 3 rear pockets Water-repellent finish Reflective detailing on back. This is the jacket for going fast on those in-between days when it's too warm for a jacket and too cold for a jersey. Traditionally, you might have used a vest and arm warmers on a day like this, but this jacket does it better. Rather than blocking all the wind on the body, the stretch woven fabric lets a small amount of air through. It blocks enough air that you don't get cold but lets enough through to keep you drier. Working together with the outer fabric is Polartec® Alpha® insulation in key areas to nearly weightlessly add more warmth without reducing breathability. The jacket is cut close to body, making it our most aerodynamic jacket. Not that that you need aerodynamics in the winter, but we're firm believers in Fast Is Fun. The close fit also makes it warmer than the minimalist fabrics would normally allow. Other features are strictly rider focused: The easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper makes one-hand ventilation simple. Three rear pockets have plenty of room for whatever you need on long rides. It's cut short to not bunch up in the front or back. Reflective details help you be seen. The fabric is water repellent to keep splashes and brief showers at bay.

Traditionally, you might have used a vest and arm warmers on a day like this, but this jacket does it better. Rather than blocking all the wind on the body, the stretch woven fabric lets a small amount of air through. It blocks enough air that you don't get cold but lets enough through to keep you drier. Working together with the outer fabric is Polartec® Alpha® insulation in key areas to nearly weightlessly add more warmth without reducing breathability. The jacket is cut close to body, making it our most aerodynamic jacket. Not that that you need aerodynamics in the winter, but we're firm believers in Fast Is Fun. The close fit also makes it warmer than the minimalist fabrics would normally allow. Other features are strictly rider focused: The easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper makes one-hand ventilation simple. Three rear pockets have plenty of room for whatever you need on long rides. It's cut short to not bunch up in the front or back. Reflective details help you be seen. The fabric is water repellent to keep splashes and brief showers at bay.
