The Original. Still the Best. First revolutionising wet-weather race kit back in 2010, the Gabba ROS 2 Jersey offers incredibly versatile performance across a wide range of cycling conditions. For cool weather and damp conditions, it excels. But it’s also breathable enough to keep you comfortable when it’s drier and milder. Powered by INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® So, what is it that makes the Gabba ROS 2 so versatile? First and foremost, it’s the Castelli exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. Across the front, sleeves and shoulders, INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 provides total wind protection, is highly water-resistant while the brushed inner face traps warmth. The back of the jersey uses a lighter and stretchy INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203. This prioritises enhanced breathability, delivering you comfort when temperatures and the pace rises. It’s water-repellent too, fending off road spray. Best. Now Better. Castelli have made a number of improvements to this 5th generation Gabba. The YKK® Vislon® front zipper is now two-way, letting you boost ventilation from both the top and the bottom. For low-light cycling, the reflectivity is now more visible and pockets to the back now hold more gear. Lastly, seams at the shoulders have been moved to the back, reducing exposure to wind and rain. The Gabba RoS 2 is a must-have for autumn and spring riding when weather conditions can change in an instant.
Castelli Alpha ROS 2 Light JacketCool, windy and with a threat of rain showers or light rain, these are the conditions where the Castelli Alpha ROS 2 Light Jacket shines. For cycling in unpredictable weather it has no equals. The Alpha ROS 2 Light Jacket is a three-season windproof and water-resistant cycling garment, suited to a wide range of weather conditions. From the steady bike rides of dull and drizzly autumn days to the fresher conditions of spring, to ever more frequent milder, wetter winter days, the dual-layer insulating Alpha construction and windproof and water-resistant outer will keep you comfortable come what may. The Perfect BalanceWhen it comes to balancing warmth, breathability and weather-protection the Alpha ROS 2 Light Jacket excels thanks to the combination of windproof and water-resistant Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 to the front and Nano Flex Xtra Dry to the back. The INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 faces into the weather, protecting you from wind chill and rain showers while the Nano Flex Xtra Dry across the back panels, complete with nanotechnology water-repellent finish, is incredibly breathable to ensure you're not drenched in sweat when pedalling hard. The protective outer layer is then complemented by the stitched-in inner layer. This layer is made with quick-wicking Prosecco Strada that works to move sweat off the skin and prevent you from getting damp and chilly when working hard. With both inner and outer layers having zips you can easily adapt ventilation to regulate body heat depending on weather and intensity levels. Fit and FeaturesThe advanced patterning makes for an excellent close-to-body fit, the extra stretch at the waist keeping the fit sleek while a raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you.

Castelli Nanoflex Pro 2 Bib Tights AW18Now more protective than ever, Castelli's Nanoflex Pro 2 Bib Tights uses new Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric to increase water protection and warmth, making it perfect for the depths of winter, whether it's a wet or dry day.A step on from the original Nano Flex, Nano Flex Xtra Dry is improved with a tighter knit design with a double layer that increases the thermal warmth of the Nanoflex Pro 2 Bib Tights. At the same time, Castelli has also improved the water-repellent treatment so you'll be able to ride for longer in the rain before water can soak in. However, these improvements aren't to the detriment of breathability, you'll still find the fabric is highly effective at removing sweat to leave you dry and comfortable inside. Another key component for comfort on your winter rides is the inclusion of the Castelli Progetto X² Air seat pad. This pad uses multi-density foams in variable thicknesses to provide support and cushioning where you need it most. A lack of seams eliminates chafing while pedalling, creating a pad that is comfortable for hour after hour. The construction uses minimal seams, to prevent water ingress, and extra material is added over the backside and inner thigh to resist soaking from road spray. As the light fades you'll also be pleased to find large reflective splash proof panels over the shin increases your visibility, perfect for those who ride early or late in the day.Features:Materials: 78% Polyamide, 22% ElastaneNano Flex Xtra Dry fabric brings higher level of water protection and warmthDouble-face knit keeps you warmer because less wind comes inReflective waterproof splash guards on inside of lower legsDouble layer over backside protects from water coming off rear wheelFewer seams to reduce chance of water coming inLie-flat bib constructionProgetto X2 Air pad for long hours in the saddleSuggested Temperature Range: 0 to 10 Degrees CBuy Castelli Cycle Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Castelli Superleggera Bib ShortsCastelli have always been pioneers of cycling shorts for very hot weather. The Castelli Superleggera Bib Shorts are their very latest development, pushing fabric technology further than ever to deliver the best in lightweight hot-weather performance.Scorching PerformanceCastelli have worked from the ground up, looking at new ways to make the Superleggera Bib Shorts as light as possible, highly breathable and yet maintaining durability. To this end, they start with a unique woven fabric rather than standard knit. It's some 50% lighter than usual cycling shorts fabric and yet offers excellent muscle support and non-transparency. The woven nature also allows Castelli to grade the weight seamlessly from the top to to the leg ends - the lower part of the leg weighs a mere 90 g/m² compared to the usual 220 g/m² of standard cycling shorts. This lack of weight contributes to more comfort as temperatures rise. The shorts also absorb less moisture for greater comfort and less on-the-bike weight. At just 114grams they're very light anyway but because they absorb 30% less moisture, they remain light even as you sweat. When you're heading uphill every little bit of weight saved counts. While being barely-there light the fabric is durable and abrasion-resistant against the saddle too - though something this light won't like you hitting the tarmac so ride safe and rubber side down. The bib section of the shorts is borrowed from the Free Aero Race 4 Bib shorts for perfect support, comfort and moisture management while stretch-woven grippers keep the shorts locked in place over the thighs.Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat PadLet's look at the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad in more detail and see just why it's so incredibly comfortable. The first contact point against the skin, the upper skin-care material, is now seamless and even softer than previous versions letting you enjoy smooth and chafe-free pedalling. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it, thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum - the result is intense comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you're on the saddle for hours on end. Features:Materials: 71% Polyamide, 29% ElastaneGradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum supportUltralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durabilityMinimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you coolIntegrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in placeEmbossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfersProgetto X2 Air Seamless seat padWeight: 141g (Large)Suggested Temperature range: 20 to 40 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

At just 114grams they're very light anyway but because they absorb 30% less moisture, they remain light even as you sweat. When you're heading uphill every little bit of weight saved counts. While being barely-there light the fabric is durable and abrasion-resistant against the saddle too - though something this light won't like you hitting the tarmac so ride safe and rubber side down. The bib section of the shorts is borrowed from the Free Aero Race 4 Bib shorts for perfect support, comfort and moisture management while stretch-woven grippers keep the shorts locked in place over the thighs.Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat PadLet's look at the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad in more detail and see just why it's so incredibly comfortable. The first contact point against the skin, the upper skin-care material, is now seamless and even softer than previous versions letting you enjoy smooth and chafe-free pedalling. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it, thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum - the result is intense comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you're on the saddle for hours on end.

The Free Aero RC Pro Bibshort 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, San Remo, Roubaix, Liège, and Lombardia, 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 sublimation printed so they will never peel, crack, or fade. 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 Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders Rear mesh pocket 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade Reflective piping on back of legs Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F Weight:183g
Castelli’s Women’s Perfetto ROS 2 Wind Jersey came about because of a pro-rider request. They wanted a Gabba for racing, but that garment often proved too hot when the pace increased. And so the lighter and more breathable Perfetto Light was created – and with some key improvements, it’s now the Women’s Perfetto ROS 2 Wind Jersey. Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch is used across the front and sleeves, protecting you from the chilling effects of cool winds. Meanwhile, across the back, Nano Flex Light Woven offers a snug fit alongside superb breathability and lightweight water repellence. Together they deliver reliable wind protection and the water-repellency to protect against light rain and damp roads. This versatile construction lets you wear it like a traditional gilet over a summer jersey, just with sleeves. Or pair it with a lightweight base layer and arm warmers and it’s a lightweight windproof cycling jersey on its own. Castelli have improved the front zipper – it’s now a smooth running two-way YKK® Vislon® zipper, allowing you to control ventilation from the top and bottom. The reflectivity is also now more visible, and the three rear pockets offer plenty of space for your essentials.
Castelli Flight Long Sleeve Jersey AirSurprisingly light in weight and yet offering excellent cool-weather warmth, the Castelli Flight Long Sleeve Jersey Air is ideally suited for cycling during autumn and spring. Castelli takes their highly functional, partially windproof Nano Flex Light material, used for the back of their renowned Perfetto vest, and uses it to make the Flight Long Sleeve Jersey Air. With its tightly woven structure, it's great at keeping out much of the wind, preventing the heat-sapping effect of windchill.Despite offering more wind protection than a regular long-sleeve woven jersey, it still maintains outstanding breathability too. With no membrane used, moisture can easily escape, while what air does pass through to the inside does a great job of regulating your temperature. Extra comfort also comes via a 3D mesh lining across the front. This delivers quick-wicking performance, ensuring sweat doesn't pool on the skin. During and after harder efforts you’ll find you’ll feel drier and more comfortable thanks to this extra layer. And being drier you’ll remain warmer too.The stretch woven material also gives the jersey a close-to-the-body fit but with plenty of flexibility. In fact, Castelli dub this jersey their Aero Race Jersey for cool conditions. A full-length zipper keeps you in control of ventilation and raw-cut wrist cuffs fit well with your lighter-weight spring/autumn gloves.Features:Materials: 78% Polyester, 22% ElastaneNano Flex Light woven fabric all around partially blocks wind, but lack of a membrane guarantees maximum breathability3D Mesh fabric from Castelli’s base layer range used as front lining for extra warmth and moisture managementYKK® Vislon® zipperRaw-cut wrists integrate easily with glovesClose-to-body fit3 rear pocketsReflective wordmark on back pocketWeight: 190gSuggested Temperature range: 10 to 16 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

This jacket does three things really well: the Tempesta Stretch fabric provides full waterproof protection, the four-way stretch makes it fit any body type, and it looks great on and off the bike. Compared with our more expensive GORE-TEX® Idro jackets, you give up the best-in-class breathability and extreme packability, but you gain stretch fit and increased durability. We developed the fabric to our own specifications to make a jacket that is fully waterproof, comfortably stretchy, packable enough to fit in a jersey pocket, and with an appearance and hand that make it look great. This is meant to be a rain shell worn over a jersey, so we've forgone the external pockets and kept the construction simple to minimize seams. We've given it a vent on the back to prevent overheating, a covered zip to keep spray out and reflectivity for safety. What it is: This elegant jacket provides full waterproof protection with a stretch fit for comfort and aerodynamic performance. The jacket is protective enough to wear all day yet looks good on a gravel ride or when you're meeting your mates at the café. Features: Tempesta Stretch fabric with windproof PU membrane provides 10,000 mm waterproofness with 20,600 g/m2/24h breathability Taped shoulder seams for waterproofing Stretchy for extremely comfortable fit that moves with you Packable enough to fit in jersey pocket Covered easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper Extra-long tail for protection from wheel spray Vent on back Reflective stripe at lower back 5°-14 °C / 41°-57°F Weight:204 g
