The Women's Endurance Bib Shorts elevate traditional cycling shorts to a whole new level of long-distance cycling comfort. Starting with the fabric, this is Castelli’s Endurance Evolution material. Incredibly soft against the skin, it’s also excellent at dealing quickly with moisture while also providing your hard-working muscles with compressive support. At the end of the legs, the renowned GIRO³ leg grippers hold the shorts beautifully in place. When it comes to the fit, Castelli always excels. The Endurance 3s are no different. Seams are carefully placed around the hips to create the perfect fit on the bike. And the careful tailoring ensures you’ll enjoy excellent freedom of movement as you pedal. A soft elastic waist lies flat and high-stretch bib straps give impressive comfort too. Women's Progetto X2 Air Donna Seat Pad Inside the shorts, you’ll find Castelli’s premier Progetto X2 Air Donna seat pad, specifically made for female cyclists. This exceptional seat pad has an incredibly soft and seamless upper face material, delivering superb comfort. 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 intense comfort with reduced bulk.
A completely new approach for sprint and short distance racing the Castelli Women's SD Team Race Tri Suit has been developed in close collaboration with the German Triathlon Federation (DTU) with aims to design a suit that's ready for any battle on the ITU (International Triathlon Union) circuit. In ITU racing you can't afford to lose valuable seconds in the water due to bad equipment. Therefore high-performance fabrics and optimised patterning for best aerodynamics and comfort on the bike till the finish line offer everything you'd expect from a suit that has to prove suitability on the highest level of pro racing.
Fit for the Pros The Giro105 Race Jersey is the exact jersey the pros will wear in the Giro d'Italia, the only difference being the leaders get their team graphics on the front. Be it a hard training session or a sunny social ride for coffee this is a jersey that looks and feels the part. Fabulous Fabrics Comfort and performance come via the use of highly functional fabrics. Giro Aero fabric is used across the front of the jersey, engineered to be extremely smooth to reduce drag while also being quick to wick away sweat. Across the back, Giro Infinito fabric is deployed to offer excellent moisture management. When you're putting in race-pace efforts this will ensure you don't end up drenched in sweat - ideal for rides that see frequent changes in speed and intensity, just like a Giro stage. Made for Speed As you'd expect of a jersey designed for professionals, the fit is kept close to the body to ensure smooth aerodynamics. In fact, the fit is based upon the smooth and streamlined Aero 6.1 Race jersey. At speeds of between 30 and 55 km/h, the aerodynamic efficiency is optimised giving more speed without an increase in power output compared to a standard jersey. Same training. Same power. More speed. Winning Details Attention to detail is demonstrated by the mesh number pockets. Not only removing the need for pinning of numbers they also keep everything smooth and streamlined when racing. The drop pockets hold plenty of gear while resisting sagging and a gold finish 'Trofeo Senza Fine' zipper and jacquard woven Prodotto Ufficiale label finishes the jersey in perfect Giro style.
Stage 16 - The Mortirolo Stage The Mortirolo, a fearsome climb that has made and broken many a professional and amateur cyclist. Most famously a climb the Pirate, Marco Pantani, low on the drops as would become his trademark, delivered an iconic attack that secured his, and the Mortirolo's, legendary status. Winning Performance Made with highly functional recycled materials from fabric experts Sitip, the Giro Mortirolo Jersey can boast excellent performance and comfort alongside eco-friendly credentials. Across both the front and back of the jersey, Velo Light, a fabric engineered to Castelli's specifications, provides outstanding sweat management. Be it fast-paced efforts or sunny social rides, this ensures all-ride comfort. Meanwhile, the sleeves use a 3D mesh fabric, giving a close, comfortable fit and an excellent level of breathability. Should you feel yourself getting too hot, the full-length front zipper makes it easy to regulate ventilation and body temperature. While pro riders squeeze into ever tighter jerseys, the Mortirolo Jersey has a cut and fit tailored to amateur riders who perhaps like a bit more space (particularly after a coffee and 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. At the waist, the silicone gripper prevents the jersey from riding up and three rear pockets offer space for all your cycling essentials.
Old Meets New Taking classic Giro d'Italia leaders' jersey designs of the past, including flocked graphics, but interpreted in modern, eco-friendly fabrics, the Fuori Giro Jersey has timeless appeal matched to the performance you'd expect of a modern and contemporary cycling jersey.

Let's start in reverse order: Run: At this point in the race, fatigue sets in. You'll love the comfort of this suit. The front Samremo opening construction doesn't pull you forward, and it makes pee stops easier and lets you open it up when you feel too hot. The fabrics are quick drying, light and cool. The seat pad that felt so good on the bike is small enough you hardly feel it. The two rear pockets compress your gels so they don't bounce around. The long legs with Giro4 leg gripper elastic don't ride up and don't bind. Maybe you'll even notice that you don't have as many burning spots where you've been chafed raw. Somehow, you're thinking that comfort gives you an extra push, some extra speed. Bike: You relish these couple of hours to put some distance into the other guys. This suit benefits from the aero research of Castelli's Pro PR suit but is tuned for speeds ranging from medium to high. The legs and sleeves provide excellent coverage while the back gives decent sun protection and the two pockets hold plenty of nutrition. And you appreciate the Castelli know-how in seat pad construction. Put your head down and pass a few more riders. Swim: The reduced seaming and long arms and legs help you cut through the water while the pockets lie flat and don't catch water. The fit is snug and the lightweight fabrics don't hold as much water. The shoulder area is extra stretchy for freedom of movement even under a wetsuit or swimskin.
Castelli Special Collection With the promise of warmer weather, longer days and more opportunity to get out and ride, we're very happy to bring you a fabulous range of Special Collection cycling kit and accessories. They're the ideal choice to keep you comfortable and stylish on your bike. Sock Perfection You may not give much thought to your socks when you're cycling, but you'll soon notice a bad pair. Not so the Gara Socks from Castelli, these are so comfortable you'll barely notice they're there. Made from Meryl Skinlife® yarns, they're quick to pull moisture away from the skin for superb comfort. And in combination with the antibacterial silver ions, your feet will never have felt so fresh, even after a long day of pushing the pedals. A compression cuff keeps them perfectly in place - no saggy sports socks here, just sock perfection.
Castelli Special Collection As we look forward to cooler temperatures and less predictable weather, it's time to delve into the Castelli special collection of winter cycling kit. With a focus on performance and style, these pieces give you warmth and comfort alongside exclusive designs that stand out amongst the rest. Winning Winter Warmth The Women's Graffiti Thermal Long Sleeve Cycling Jersey benefits from the use of Castelli's super-cosy Warmer fabric. The soft fleecy interior is incredibly comfortable and retains body heat for all-ride warmth. It also has great moisture control, preventing clamminess as you dig deep and put in some harder efforts. And if you do find yourself overheating, a smooth-sliding full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper makes ventilation control easy. As you'd expect of a Castelli, all the details are perfectly in place too. To the back of the jersey, the 3 dropped pockets offer ample space for all your cool-weather cycling essentials, from multi-tool to spare tube to an emergency rain jacket or gilet. Reflective trim keeps you visible as daylight fades and gripper elastic at the waist keeps the fit smooth. For cycling in cooler weather, this is a jersey you can trust, and in the coldest of conditions, it makes a brilliant mid-layer insulator too.
Castelli's best all-around long-distance race suit but in a sleeveless version. This suit trades the on-bike aerodynamic advantages of sleeves for the comfort and cooling of a sleeveless top. Everything else is full race performance. The short portion is built around comfort, with compressive fabrics for muscle support, the GIRO4 leg gripper that holds the leg securely in place without the dreaded sausage effect, and the KISS Tri seat pad that provides good padding and comfort on the bike yet is hardly noticeable on the run. The upper portion features the Castelli Sanremo overlapping front opening to optimize fit during the swim and run when you're fully stretched out, while avoiding folds when hunched over in the bike position. There are two generous rear pockets, and the armholes have been constructed to reduce chafing during the run. If you're not fighting for the win or a Kona slot, maybe the comfort-aerodynamics trade-off is worth it.
The Core Seamless Long Sleeve Base Layer slips under your cold-weather cycling kit to provide both extra insulation and to ensure sweat isn’t left on the skin to chill you down. With moisture quickly wicked away, you’ll enjoy more warmth and less clamminess. Meanwhile, the seamless construction boosts comfort and the wider neck makes it good even for shorter-collared long-sleeved racing jerseys, ideal for your early season racing and training.
Autumn and spring are fabulous times to ride a bike. But the weather is so hard to predict and achieving the right balance of warmth, breathability and weather protection is difficult - you'll often end up too warm or too cold. However, the Women's Beta ROS Jacket makes it easy. Using a mix of lightweight and stretchy fabrics it cuts out most of the wind, remains extremely breathable and should rain strike offers surprisingly good water protection. Facing into the weather, the front panels and upper sleeves use Polartec® NeoShell®. This is windproof, waterproof and breathable, striking the balance you need when the weather changes from good to bad from one moment to the next. Across the back Castelli use their Nano Flex Light woven fabric. This prioritises breathability, keeping you dry and sweat-free when you're pushing hard on the pedals or the day warms up. It is also windproof and splashproof, for all-ride comfort. Castelli tailors the Beta with a women's specific race-bred fit, perfect for fast autumn and spring rides and smooth efficiency when tackling rolling terrain. No flapping fabric to sap energy, leaving more watts for the job at hand, riding and training hard. When it comes to features there's nothing unnecessary either. Three rear pockets offer space for nutrition and spares, a reflective panel keeps visibility up during evening training sessions and a full-length front zip makes it quick and easy to control ventilation.
A generous Terry cloth under foot ensures you'll be pedalling in comfort mile after mile.
