Castelli Women's Aero Pro JerseyThe Castelli Women's Aero Pro Jersey is made for fast cycling. Cutting-edge fabrics, a fit honed to reduce drag and a limited edition print, all combine to give the ultimate in performance and style. From Split Second to Aero 6.0The 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 FuelledOf 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.Features:Materials: 82% Polyester, 18% ElastaneCFD-based fabric placement and seam constructionEngineered for aero efficiency at 30 to 55 km/hAirflow shoulder constructionVelocity Rev2 fabric on front and sleeve3D mesh back for breathabilityElbow-length stretch sleeves with raw-cut edgeYKK® Vislon® zipperDrop tail allows perfect pocket placement while keeping jersey fitting well at the waistWeight: 102g (Small)Suggested Temperature range: 18 to 35 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Designed for female riders, the Free Aero Race 4 W Bibshort represents a significant evolution from earlier models of Castellis best-selling shorts and holding the Free Aero Race 4s's place as the ultimate race shorts. Dimpling on the legs stops air attaching to the fabric so that air comes off cleanly and allows for better print quality too. The leg gripper features a lie-flat raw-cut edge with vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch and leg movement. The bib shorts' panelling has improved fit for support while making the shorts look even cleaner. Castelli has re-engineered the bib straps with a lighter, more breathable material so they stay cooler, lie flatter and are more durable. The shorts use Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna women's-specific seat pad, with the softest fabric youve ever felt. Key Features Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra content for a perfect fit Stripe mesh engineered lie-flat bib strap construction keeps you cool Giro4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over a larger area Doppio V construction in front for increased comfort Flat-lock stitching Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna women's specific seat pad 15-35C / 59-95F Weight: 156g
MADE TO RACE Typically, our women's garments are designed from the ground up for women.However, the Free Aero 3 W Bibshort is designed from the ground up for racing. That specific goal leads us to a somewhat minimalist construction, but one that is made for aerodynamics and also comfort, since racing requires long hours in the saddle, both in training and on race day, resulting in one of our most comfortable shorts as well. The 2019 Free Aero 3 W Bibshort represents a significant evolution from last year's model, our best-selling short ever. There's a new leg gripper that still features a lie-flat raw-cut edge but now has vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch. The new fabric allows for better print quality for your custom team production, the same as Team Sky will use in 2019. We've updated the seams to improve the fit and make the short look even better on the body. We've re-engineered the bib straps with new fabrics and construction so they stay cooler, lie flatter and are more durable. The new Free Aero 3 W Bibshort also receives the updated Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad featuring the softest surface fabric you've ever felt in a seat pad. Features: Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra® content for perfect fit Stripe mesh engineered lie-flat bib strap construction keeps you cool Giro4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over larger area Doppio V construction in front for increased comfort Flat-lock stitching Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna women's-specific seat pad Weight:156g

Performance Perfected After 12 years of evolution and huge kilometres of on the road testing, where exactly have the Castelli design team squeezed out even greater comfort and performance from the already exemplary Women's Free Aero Race shorts? Well, the heart of any great shorts is the seat pad and for this year the women's specific Progetto X2 Air Donna is more flexible than ever with a new seamless top layer giving you a pad that is virtually unnoticeable and it's possibly the softest pad you'll ever use. New GIRO4 leg grippers get enhanced stretch and yet are grippier than previous versions so the pressure is spread wider but without any loss of traction on the thighs. While these improvements are subtle, they all add up to a major step up in comfort, providing support on both the longest and shortest rides.

Castelli Women's Free Aero RC Bib ShortsThe original Free Aero shorts launched to wide acclaim with amateurs and pros alike benefiting from their performance. The Castelli Women's Free Aero RC Bib Shorts build upon this legacy, with more performance and comfort than ever.You don't have to be a pro rider to enjoy the benefits the Women's Free Aero RC Bib Shorts offer. Whether riding for an hour or riding all day, the smooth, compressive support, premium seat pad and outstanding flexibility all offer unrivalled comfort. Less is MoreCastelli have deconstructed their previous Free shorts and started from scratch to deliver a more minimalist, but highly comfortable race short. Compared to previous iterations, there are fewer panels, now just 5 compared to 10. In combination with Castelli's high-stretch and compressive Forza 2 fabric, this gives a wonderful sense of freedom throughout your pedal stroke. Moving to the ends of the legs, this sees yet more minimalism. Instead of the usual elastic or silicone grippers, you'll find just smooth, raw cut edges. No more irritation when you're getting sweaty. After 28 prototypes and extensive material testing, Castelli have found the sweet spot, with shorts that remain in place but don't irritate or compress too much. 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 PadThe top-end Women's Progetto X2 Air Donna Seatpad 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.
