The fabric feels phenomenally comfortable against the skin and the loft traps just the right amount of air above the skin to keep your heat regulated over a wide range of autumn and winter conditions. This latest update to the Nano Flex fabric not only reflects Castellis ongoing commitment to offering you the very best garment quality but crucially means more time enjoying yourself on the bike. The simple and minimised seam construction across the Tutto Nano Bib Shorts is not only aesthetically pleasing giving you the option to layer them with a wide variety of upper layers but increases freedom of movement. A fine-grade mesh bib strap means superior moisture management whilst the latest Kiss Air2 seat pad is ideally suited to long days in the saddle. The reflective leg inserts are perfect for lower light conditions over the winter months. If youre riding regularly over the winter months and need a pair of stalwart shorts that can withstand a wide range of conditions, youll be pressed to find a better match.

Castelli Endurance Pro Jersey - M - Light Black/White/Gray
  • £73.99
  • RRP £125.00
  • Saving you £41

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 doesn't 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 Castelli's drop-pocket design, which places the pockets lower on the back for easier access. There's 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 Pro Jersey really is master of all. 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: 147g

  • £73.49
  • RRP £125.00
  • Saving you £41

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

Castelli Free Aero RC Short - XXL
  • £72.49
  • RRP £160.00
  • Saving you £55

The Free Aero RC Short is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Giri d'Italia, one Vuelta and San Remo, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because, simply put, this is the short that does everything well. The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary. You feel Free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel Free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate Skin Care Layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin. You feel Free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back. You feel Free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% Lycra® with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are either stitched or embossed for durability. What It Is The perfect mix of comfort and speed. Engineered for top-level racing, which also makes it supremely comfortable for every ride and rider. Product Features High-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compression Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing Stitched scorpion logo patch and embossed Castelli wordmark for durability Reflective piping on back of legs Raw-cut edge at waist for extra stretch and comfort Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers 15°-35°C / 59°95°F Weight:184g
