The Castelli Women’s Rosso Corsa Bra has been specially designed for cycling enthusiasts. Made with a Superlight stretch, moisture-wicking fabric that moves easily with your body to avoid irritation and keep you dry, while mesh inserts provide optimum breathability, so you can rely on a comfortable ride. Additionally, moulded cups with full coverage and an elastic under bust ensure a good level of support.
These Arenberg Gel Gloves have the all-terrain DNA of their short-fingered cousins but with their long finger design give greater overall protection. With silicone prints to the forefingers, they provide added grip of shift/brake levers, giving confidence you'll always get the gear you need and brake in time as the terrain gets rough. The Castelli Damping System can be found on the palm, reducing numbness and at the same time boosting long-ride comfort by absorbing vibrations from the road or trail. A MicroMesh back keeps weight to a minimum and keeps your hands free of sweat. Time to ride some rough stuff. Castelli Damping System As cyclists, we can occasionally suffer numbness and discomfort in the hands, simply from prolonged periods of gripping the bars. The Castelli Damping System seeks to address this issue by carefully positioning a combination of cushioning foams and protection in key zones across the palm, providing damping from road vibration and increasing control and comfort.
When you’re cycling, the Rosso Corsa Pro V Gloves ensure a confident grip as well as protection from bumps and vibrations from the road. Of course the Pro V gloves are also vital to keep your hands free of road rash should you take a tumble. The stretch mesh back keeps hands cool and the hook and loop closure makes them easy to pull on and off. CDS – Castelli Damping System The Castelli Damping System has been designed to address the numbness and discomfort you can experience when gripping the handlebars for extended periods of time. Key zones of the hand benefit from a combination of protective materials and cushioning foam/gels, reducing the impact of road vibrations on the hand. Control and comfort are optimised across almost any road surface.
You could be forgiven for thinking this is a standard string vest, but the Women's Pro Issue 2 Base Layer goes far beyond that. It makes use of an advanced 3D mesh to enhance moisture control and deliver sweat-free cycling comfort. The 3D structure works brilliantly thanks to an increased surface area with which to draw excess sweat away from the skin. The semi-open design also allows for excellent ventilation and with greater airflow, it enhances sweat evaporation to keep you cooler. The result is a base layer that will leave you feeling drier and fresher as temperatures rise.
Seamless Performance As soon as you pull the Premio Black Bib Shorts on you’ll immediately notice these are unlike other shorts you’ll have worn. They lack the multiple seams of normal shorts and have fewer panels than is usual. This is made possible by an innovative engineered fabric that seamlessly changes in characteristic to suit each part of the body. With no need to stitch panels together, comfort is enhanced and gives the shorts a sleek, sophisticated look. Gradient Stretch At the pelvis, both compression and support are high, holding the seat pad firmly in place. The fabric is also thicker to avoid any transparency issues. Meanwhile, the fabric becomes lighter as it moves down the thighs. This gives a significant boost to mobility and moisture management, ideal as you inject some pace and intensity during your ride. And the four-way stretch provides just the right amount of muscle support. Raw cut endings and rubberised yarns keep the legs securely and smoothly in place too. We then move to the upper body and the bib straps. Once again premium fabrics feature, offering just the right level of hold to secure the shorts without cutting into your shoulders. A perforated back regulates body temperature while bonded edges make sure you don’t notice the thickness of a stitched edge. Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat Pad The first contact point against the skin is the super-soft upper skin-care material. It's now seamless and even softer than previous generation pads. 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 results are outstanding 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. Laser-etched logos and a subtle finish ensure the Premio Shorts' looks are as premium as their comfort. With an obsessive attention to detail, these are Castelli’s most refined cycling shorts yet.
Bringing together as much technology as possible from their premium waist shorts, the Competizione Waist Cycle Shorts are at home in the thrill of a race but also brilliantly comfortable for those times when you're not pining a number on. From their Free Aero Race 4 Bib Shorts come both the low-drag Vortex BLC textured fabric on the legs and the Giro4 leg grippers, complete with a raw-edge finish for a wonderfully smooth and comfortable fit. Flat-lock stitching ensures chafing is a thing of the past. Not only benefitting from Castelli's fabric know-how, but the Competizione also get a signature Castelli fit. Supportive of the muscles and with the perfect degree of flexibility, they're ever so comfortable from the moment you pull them on. The cost to performance ratio is unbeatable. KISS Air2 Seat Pad When you're on the bike you'll also enjoy on-the-saddle comfort from Castelli's KISS Air2 seat pad. Next to the skin, you'll enjoy the luxury of Castelli's softest ever surface fabric, delivering immediate comfort. Seamless construction and stretch fit all but eliminate chafing as you push the watts. Next comes the dual-density, variable thickness padding. This sees maximum density and thickness across the ischial zone, reduced thickness around the perineum and then minimum thickness at the edges. This is all wrapped up in an anatomically shaped pad for optimal comfort for any distance.
Made from Polypropylene yarns, the Entrata 13 Socks are quick to wick away sweat, leaving your feet dry and comfortable as you put pressure on the pedals. Thanks to a careful blend of textures, Castelli have also ensured the Entrata socks provide the perfect blend of breathability as well as cushioning.
Castelli are renowned for pushing boundaries when it comes to cycling performance. And the Entrata VI Short Sleeve Jersey benefits from this extensive R&D, engineered with the same attention to detail as their top-end jerseys. This can be seen in the one-piece sleeves, with aero-optimized seaming, keeping you streamlined as speeds rise. Raw-cut sleeve endings also fit brilliantly, without constricting. Four-way stretch Air Mesh fabric gives a snug but comfortable fit. And it’s lightweight too, perfect for warm summer days on the bike. Castelli also add their ProSecco treatment, ensuring sweat is dealt with quickly and efficiently. UPF 30 sun protection, filtering 97% of UV rays, also keeps you more comfortable under summer skies. Details are thoughtfully applied too. A full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper is easy to slide, a stretch panel in the centre pocket allows extra carrying space and a silicone gripper keeps the back of the jersey in place. As the sun sets, a reflective insert on the pocket keeps you more visible as you pedal homewards.

If there’s just one jersey you should pick to cover all your cycling bases, the Endurance Pro Jersey is the one. Long-ride comfort comes via stretch fabrics and close fit. This maintains excellent streamlining but also ensures you don’t feel restricted on the bike. A total of four different fabrics deal quickly with sweat and offer comfort across a wide temperature range. UV protection across the back makes this jersey great for a long summer ride too. Be it a sunrise-to-sunset ride or a shorter more intense training session, aerodynamic fabrics mean more speed for the same effort levels. Across the shoulders and sleeves, aero fabric as found on pro-level race jerseys give a smooth and comfortable fit that deals quickly with sweat too. Raw-cut sleeve ends also offer comfort and an unrestricted fit. Storage comes by the way of Castelli’s drop pocket design. This puts the pockets in an easy-to-access position and minimises sagging when fully loaded. A fourth zipped pocket makes space for valuables too. A silicone gripper at the waist keeps your jersey firmly in place too.
From Split Second to Aero 6.0 The original Castelli aero jersey for road racing first saw light in 2006. It was known as the Split Second jersey. It was at a time when aerodynamics was only really considered important for time trials. Baggy cycling jerseys were the norm until that very first Castelli aero focused jersey appeared. However, with every new version of the jersey, the aerodynamic advantages have proved to be worth far more than just a few split seconds. The Women’s Aero Pro Jersey is a female-specific version that gives an unrivalled level of performance. Using CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) to analyse wake-flow, the Women's Aero Pro will fit you even better when you're in an aggressive riding position while seam placement has been optimised to minimise drag. At speeds of between 30 and 55 km/h, the aerodynamic efficiency is optimised giving more speed without an increase of power output compared to a standard jersey. Same training. Same power. More speed. You could almost call it free speed. Cool and Fuelled Of course, riding fast, whether in training or racing, is going to generate heat. That, in turn, leads to sweat. However, the Aero Race 6.0 isn't just efficient through the air it's also efficient in dealing with moisture too. Quick wicking and with a 3D mesh back you'll be cooler and drier as you push hard on the pedals. To keep you up to speed and fully fuelled for your ride, the pockets are easily accessible when stuffed with gels and thanks to the drop tail design the jersey remains sleek even when they're loaded up. The Women's Aero Pro Jersey is Castelli's most aerodynamically advanced design to date and yet it's also their best fitting too - Just ask their WorldTour professional riders. A remarkably comfortable high-performance cycling jersey whether it's your longest days in the saddle or a short and intense criterium race.
With the sun shining and temperatures soaring, it's time to grab your Milano Shorts and enjoy some relaxation time. The functional fabric used in their construction is lightweight and soft against the skin while the above the knee length gives them an athletic silhouette. 2 side pockets, one with internal phone pocket, makes space for essentials and a front fly with snap closure keeps the shorts securely in place.

The Prologo has always been a popular jersey thanks to its winning combination of performance materials and refined fit. And this iteration, the Prologo 7 Cycling Jersey continues that tradition. The Micro-piqué polyester used for the body gives a luxurious softness and it’s brilliant at dealing with the sweat you generate too. Sleeves use Velocity Rev2, a nod to smooth aerodynamics, and raw-cut endings are wonderfully comfortable as well as streamlined. On hot days, you’ll more than welcome the full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper, keeping you in control of airflow and temperature regulation. 3 rear pockets ensure you have space for nutrition, fuelling you for the ride, as well as any small tools or an emergency gilet. The dropped design also keeps the pockets nicely in place and minimises sagging when you have them loaded up. And with reflective details, you’ll be more visible on rides that stretch into the fading light of a summer evening.
The concept for the Women's Free Aero RC Bib Shorts is simple; use a premium seat pad, offer a refined fit with perfect muscle support and then remove everything else that’s not absolutely necessary. Whether you pin on a race number or not, the Women's Free Aero RC are Castelli's most refined race short yet, with a fit and features that make them perfect for any cyclist. Less is More The focus of any cycling short is of course comfort, and here Castelli have taken a less is more approach. Compared to previous Free shorts there are now fewer panels, down from 10 to 5, and hence fewer seams. Highly supportive Forza 2 fabric is used to offer just the right amount of support and compression too. This all combines to give a brilliantly refined and sculpted fit, a wonderful sense of freedom during your pedal stroke and far less chance of chafing. This minimalist approach also extends to the leg grippers - or rather the lack of grippers. Instead, there are raw cut edges that feel fantastic. This has been made possible by extensive testing (28 prototypes), to get the fit and feel just right, and the support of compressive fabric. This gives an unrivalled sense of freedom and comfort that is unmatched. No more harsh elastic or irritating silicone. Refined Bib Straps When it comes to the upper body, again Castelli have sought to minimise the construction, removing bulk, boosting comfort and improving airflow. Open-weave bib straps let air in while also letting moisture evaporate away quickly. To the back, a reinforcing yoke ensures your straps remain flat and in place, while the mesh back is kept narrow, again to improve airflow to the body and prevent overheating. At the lower back, the bib forms a convenient storage pocket too. Women’s Progetto X² Air Donna Seat Pad The top-end Women’s Progetto X2 Air Donna seat pad is now better than ever. Castelli has improved the shape of the back and improved the method of stitching it in place. The result is it now sits flatter and offers greater comfort. The X2 retains its awesome ventilating perforations, keeping you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. A 3-layer component construction also features two densities of foam plus gel pads to provide progressive damping. A super-soft and stretchy next-to-skin layer, with an antibacterial finish, completes this premium pad.
Stepping away from plain cycling gloves, the Competizione 2 Cycling Gloves bring some bold colours and sublimated graphical finishes to your glove game. But beyond the distinctive looks, they also perform brilliantly too. A synthetic palm, featuring the Castelli Damping System and medium-density padding, provides a secure grip and soaks up the micro-vibrations felt through the handlebars. The grip is also enhanced with a silicone grip pattern on the palm. A smooth no-sew wrist brings streamlined comfort and makes it easy to pull your gloves on and off before and after a ride. Castelli Damping System As cyclists, we can occasionally suffer numbness and discomfort in the hands, simply from prolonged periods of gripping the bars. The Castelli Damping System seeks to address this issue by carefully positioning a combination of cushioning foams and protection in key zones across the palm, providing damping from road vibration and increasing control and comfort.
