The concept for the Women's Omloop Nano Bib Shorts is simple, to give you a pair of shorts with excellent thermal properties for colder weather, some extra protection from wind and rain while staying as flexible as your favourite summer cycling shorts. To achieve this Castelli use their brilliant Nano Flex 3G fabric. This high-performance fabric features a brushed inner face to trap warmth while to the outside, it repels water using a nanotechnology system. Nano Flex is also very flexible, so won't hinder your smooth pedalling. Castelli have also reduced the number of seams compared to a standard short. This gives a twofold advantage - firstly fewer seams reduce areas water can seep inside - and secondly, eliminates areas that can chafe, thus boosting comfort. Mesh bib straps allow your skin to breathe and allow you to tailor warmth via your base layer choice. Kiss Air2 Donna Seat pad Inside the shorts, you'll be pleased to find Castelli's Kiss Air2 Donna 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 Once you try the Women's Omloop Nano Bib Shorts you'll quickly understand why they're such a hit for racing and training in cold, damp weather. Warmth, weather-protection and flexibility working in perfect harmony.
Perfection simplified...And windproof The Meno products offer a minimalist design that offers superb function. This wind-protecting bib tight is singularly focused on keeping you warm and comfortable in cold conditions. AirFlex Thermo fabric is the stretchiest windproof fabric Castelli have ever made and allows this tight to fit great.

Anatomical cut The seams are placed closer to the back for extra warmth, but still Castelli manage to provide an anatomical cut that fits just right when riding. The seams are flat for extra comfort, and the zippered ankles get some reflective taping for added visibility on the bib tights. The Meno products personify Castelli's pursuit of 'perfection simplified'.

The key to the cool-weather performance of the Pro Thermal Mid Long Sleeve Jersey is in its use of mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric. It’s still got a fleece inner face for warmth, but Castelli have lightened it up a bit to make sure you don’t overheat when injecting some pace. Excellent breathability also allows sweat to escape. And with more stretch, thanks to extra elastane, and a race fit, it allows for a speed-focused streamlined fit while not feeling too tight. As a pro-performance garment, Castelli have kept details functional and focused. The YKK® Vislon® zipper slides easily, letting you boost airflow as and when needed. The drop-pocket construction allows you to load up and yet the jersey remains in a secure and stable position. There’s also a reflective stripe on the centre pocket, enhancing visibility after dark.
Made from Polypropylene yarns, the Entrata 9 Socks are quick to wick away sweat, leaving your feet dry and comfortable as you put pressure on the pedals.

Meanwhile, sleeves and sides use lighter weight INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150, ensuring you enjoy optimal breathability and easy mobility. A drop tail provides coverage to protect against wheel spray while an easy sliding Vislon® zipper makes it easy to control ventilation. And for long days in the saddle, there are 3 rear pockets to load up with food and essentials. A zippered pocket also keeps valuables safe.
Summer Starts Here Creating that perfect summer weight base layer is harder than it sounds. Castelli have intentionally kept this base layer as minimalist as possible to let the open mesh fabric pull the moisture off the skin. The secret to this base layer comes in the fabric that is highly stretchy but without using Lycra® that tends to hold in the moisture. You stay drier and cooler, thus perform better when the heat rises.

Reinforced heels and toes boost durability and the Piqué ankle knit and Castelli logo gives them a timeless finish.
