The Writing is on the Wall If you like a bit of colour when cycling, well you can't go wrong with this special edition range of Castelli Women's Graffiti garments. From shockingly bright tags all-over to more subtle 'dark arts' prints with pop-out colours, these are garments that are sure to make their mark whenever you pull them on. The Art of Performance The Women's Graffiti Cycling Jersey brings together three of Castelli's high-performance fabrics to give you a jersey that fits beautifully and performs brilliantly as temperatures warm into a glorious summer's day. Starting with the fit, this is slightly more forgiving than a pure race fit, ideal for all shapes and sizes and easy to move in when on the bike. However, you'll still enjoy a smooth and streamlined level of performance via stretch fabrics. To the body, you'll find Castelli's rapid wicking and highly breathable ProSecco Micromesh. This is quick to deal with excess sweat as you begin to warm up, keeping you comfortable as the mercury rises. Meanwhile, mesh side panels ensure that you get the perfect level of ventilation, regulating body temperature perfectly. And lastly, the sleeves use Velocity Rev2 fabric, laser-cut stretch with raw-cut edges to deliver a comfortable and sleekly modern finish. Whatever your cycling ambitions this summer season, the Women's Graffiti Cycling Jersey is ideal for notching up the miles, whether that's a gentle spin to your favourite cafe or taking on a challenging sportive. With its unique special-edition design, you're sure to stand out from the local peloton.

Great cycling socks can raise the game when it comes to your cycling comfort, and the Velocissimo Kit Cycling Socks are a great example. Meryl® Skinlife brings you an exceptional level of moisture-management, drawing moisture off the skin before any discomfort sets in. And thanks to the antibacterial characteristics you’ll enjoy anti-odour freshness too. The compression cuff holds them in place when pedalling and at 13cm in length is just right for the modern cyclist.
Wet weather doesn’t always mean cold temperatures, particularly come late spring and summer. This is why Castelli have created the lightweight and waterproof Pioggerella Overshoes. The construction is of a waterproof PU-coated stretch fabric and features a silicone bead at the top of the ankle to minimise water ingress. A waterproof zipper also enhances wet-weather performance and the stretch fit and wrapped cuff offers a close and aero fit. From a springtime road race to a summer rain shower the Piogerella Overshoes keep your feet comfortably dry when spinning the pedals.
Celebrating 90 years of the pink jersey, the Maglia Rosa, the Maglia Rosa 90 Anni Cycling Jersey looks back to 1982 for its design inspiration. Then, the wool leader's jerseys featured just the small black Gazzetta logo on the chest and the scorpion logos on the sleeves. And that low-key design returns here with flocked 80's style logos and bold pink colour. Using an Italian-made 50/50 merino/polyester blend fabric, the Maglia Rosa 90 Anni Cycling Jersey brings the ideal mix of modern performance with a classic look that harks back to traditional wool jerseys of a bygone age. Pulling on the jersey you'll enjoy the super-soft and natural feel from the wool yarns. And once on the go, the blended fabric delivers outstanding moisture management, ensuring you'll remain dry and comfortable as the pace hots up. While pro riders squeeze into ever tighter jerseys, the Maglia Rosa 90 Anni Cycling Jersey has a tailored fit more suited towards us amateurs who perhaps like a bit more space (particularly after a cafe/cake stop). While the fit is still streamlined, it's a more generous cut than Castelli's pro jerseys and the stretch fabrics also help in this regard, making it easy to move. Woven Castelli scorpion logos ensure style remains for the long haul. You'll also find a gold-tone metallic zipper pull in the form of the Trofeo Senza Fine. Stylish finishing details that lift the jersey above the ordinary.
The Explore Velocissimo Bib Tights are designed with all-over thermal leg protection, the Thermoflex fabric featuring a cosy and soft brushed inner face to lock in your body heat. Once you're pedalling you'll also enjoy the excellent flexibility and support the tights offer. Flexibility and warmth mean your hard-working muscles are kept supple for efficient riding come colder weather. Castelli have also tailored the tights with fewer seams, leading to less chance of irritation and improving your overall cycling comfort. Meanwhile, to the upper body, a mesh bib section allows your skin to breathe and lets you tailor upper body warmth to just how you like it with your base layer choice. At the heart of the tights is a superbly comfortable Castelli's Kiss Air seat pad. Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad The Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad aims to incorporate as many of the features and comfort as the top-of-the-line Progetto x2 seat pad but at a more affordable price. 1. Seamless skin care layer: A super-soft, brushed microfibre top that maximizes comfort and fit. Seamlessly engineered to eliminate chafing and abrasion. Flexible to move with you. Bacteriostatic treatment to avoid saddle sores and infection. 2. Continuously variable thickness: Dual density and infinitely variable thickness give you the perfect cushioning for every part of the pad. Maximum thickness and density in the ischial zone, tapering to moderate thickness in the perineum, and minimum thickness at the perimeter. 3. Anatomic shape: Comfort is further enhanced by creating a perfect interface to your body during every pedal stroke. Offering fantastic performance at a keen price point, the Explore Thermal Bib Tights will encourage you to get out on your bike and enjoy those crisp, cold days of winter.
With the extra depth of the fade overprint on top of the cobbled jacquard knit, inspired by the Oude Kwaremont climb, the Pave Jersey is sure to catch admiring glances. But its beauty is more than just skin deep, with the high-performance fabric giving uncompromised moisture management to keep you fresh when pushing on the pedals. An excellent degree of stretch also ensures you enjoy a comfortable fit as you drop into a riding position. While the two-way stretch gives a great fit, it is orientated so as to support the three rear pockets. And when you feel the temperatures rising, the YKK Vislon zipper makes it easy to regulate airflow and body temperature.
With their Pro Seamless Arm Warmers, Castelli have started from scratch to create a better product. Other brands tend to use a simple nylon/lycra blend that holds moisture. Not good. Instead, Castelli have turned to Polyester to improve moisture management - it's harder to get right in terms of stretch, return and manufacturing consistency, but the benefits paid off in the end. The Pro Seamless will surprise you with how light they are and yet they're surprisingly warm too. Even as the weather turns mild, excellent moisture management prevents you from overheating. A high degree of stretch makes them brilliantly comfortable and when you take them off to stash in a pocket they take up a fraction of the space of normal warmers.
The key to the all-around performance of the Women's Perfetto ROS Gloves is the combination of GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ shell, Stretch Warm fabric and a fleecy inner lining for warmth. INFINIUM™ is completely windproof so bitter winter winds can't rob warmth and it's also nicely water-resistant so damp, drizzly conditions can be faced into with confidence. Grip of the bars is also vital in less-favourable conditions and here the lack of bulk ensures excellent dexterity and silicone zones on the palm enhance your hold of the bars. With the Castelli Damping System (CDS) also present, pressure on the median nerve is dissipated and long rides can be ticked off in comfort. Cold hands soon spoil a winter ride but thanks to the Women's Perfetto ROS Gloves you'll power through icy winds and rain showers without a care in the world. RoS in the name signifies Rain or Shine.
Be it a chilly morning start or a long mountain descent, the Women's Squadra Stretch Cycling Jacket is easily pulled on to keep you protected from the effects of cool breezes. Coated ripstop nylon provides wind protection to the front, while to the back it'll fend off the tyre spray from damp roads too. Tightly knitted side panels give the jacket some stretch, keeping the fit as flap free as possible while also being great for a wide range of body shapes. A high-cut collar lessens the chances of cold winds getting in and a longer back adds coverage over your shorts or winter tights. Reflective details to the chest and tail make you easier to spot as the light fades. Simple, effective and offering great value, the Squadra stretch is also easily packed away when conditions improve.
The Espresso GT Glove has what it takes to keep you cycling when the weather has other ideas. It starts with a GORE-TEX® windproof and waterproof membrane to keep out the nastiest of weather conditions. As with all Gore-Tex materials, this gets the ‘Guaranteed to Keep You dry ™’ stamp of approval. Next comes the outstanding PrimaLoft® Gold insulation. This modern synthetic insulator offers unrivalled levels of warmth and yet weighs almost next to nothing. The GT is also very easy to get on and off thanks to the YKK® water-repellent zipper. And the grip control palm offers unshakeable grip no matter the weather. This is the glove for the nastiest, coldest cycling conditions. No excuses. It’s time to get cycling.

It offers both incredible warmth and excellent water-repellency via third-generation nanotechnology fabric treatment. And it has a superb level of flexibility too, so the tights never feel restrictive. But not just that, the fabric is also highly breathable so you don't feel clammy when you're working hard. In areas most exposed to the weather and in need of extra protection, namely the upper front panels, thighs and across the back, you'll find Nano Flex Xtra Dry deployed. This adds both extra warmth and windproof protection while also boosting water-repellency. Sleek Fit While the fabrics may take centre stage, the fit of the Sorpasso tights is also worth admiring. Anatomic patterning gives a perfect fit at the hips and knees, delivering smooth pedalling flexibility in and out of the saddle. And then there's the fabulously comfortable women's Progetto X² Air seamless seat pad to make even the longest rides comfortable.

You're still riding fast, still challenging yourself but with modern bikes and wider tyres nowhere is now off-limits. And for this, the Women’s Unlimited Baggy Shorts are the perfect riding partner. Made from a stretch woven fabric, they offer excellent flexibility and easy manoeuvrability, letting you pedal easily and move quickly as the terrain and grip changes beneath your chunky tyres. They're tough too, resisting snags and abrasions from trailside overgrowth or in case you slide out on a fast gravel corner. And with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish you can splash through streams and puddles without fear of a soaking. The cut is kept slim, so they don’t bag or balloon out when you’re riding. But they look good off the bike too. With jean style pockets you’ve got secure space for smaller items. And because they’re unpadded, you can choose your favourite liner/bib shorts to pair them with. These are shorts you will love to wear as you explore new horizons.
