Dry is good This is the piece Castelli pro riders requested for those in between conditions where the Flanders base layer is too warm but the Core Mesh is too cool, like Spain in February or Belgium in April. You’re not looking for warmth from your base layer, just something to move the moisture away from your body and help your race jersey perform. The 3D mesh fabric creates dead air space next to your skin, while the polyester capillary action moves sweat away.
You could be forgiven for thinking this is a standard string vest, but the Women's Pro Issue 2 Sleeveless Base Layer makes use of an advanced 3D mesh to enhance moisture control beyond that of a standard vest. The 3D structure works to increase surface area with which to draw excess sweat away from the skin. The semi-open design also allows for excellent ventilation and sweat evaporation to keep you cooler. The result is a base layer that will leave you feeling drier and fresher as temperatures rise.
Made from a light stretch rib knit polyester, the Prosecco Tech Short Sleeve Base Layer is body-mapped to provide perfect temperature regulation. Castelli's Prosecco hydrophilic treatment is applied, ensuring any sweat build-up is quickly and efficiently wicked away from the skin. In areas where your shorts or tights overlap, around the waist and bib straps, lighter-weight PrimaLoft® fabric is deployed, balancing out insulation levels so you don't overheat. A crew-neck also makes it easy to wear with low-collar jerseys.

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.
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.
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.
Thanks to the use of 3D closed mesh fabric, the Pro Mesh BL Short Sleeve Base Layer is quick to remove excess sweat from your skin, ensuring your body is kept dry and at a stable temperature. At the same time, this also means you don't get cold, clammy and uncomfortable from excess sweat build-up, even when the pace slows, or you pull over for a well-earned coffee. Even in cold conditions, it can be deployed below a winter-weight base layer to boost sweat-wicking to avoid the dreaded chill from too much moisture build-up. Pro by name and pro by nature, it's an essential addition to any dedicated cyclist's wardrobe.
Pro cyclists ride and race in a wide range of conditions. And so do you. This is why the Pro Mesh 2.0 Short Sleeve Base Layer exists. Designed to work across a wide range of conditions, it keeps you comfortable via its ability to draw sweat off your skin extremely rapidly. Consequently, you’ll remain drier and your body temperature more balanced across all types of weather conditions and during rides of wildly varying intensities. Whether worn under a summer cycling jersey or as an extra wicking layer under a winter base layer, the low weight ensures it’s barely noticeable. However, Castelli still gives it a sublimated graphic so the colour pops when you unzip your jersey.
A cold winter ride needs a great base layer, and they don’t come much warmer, or more comfortable, than the Castelli Flanders 2 Women's Warm Long Sleeve Base Layer. The high-loft, SottoZero Fleece, provides excellent insulation and draws sweat away from the skin, while extra ventilation mesh-zones around the armpits, keep you feeling fresh (so if you stop for a coffee or, freewheel a rapid descent, you won't feel cold and damp). It's stretchy for a perfect fit and, the flat-lock seams are not only smooth and comfortable against the skin, but the flat hem also works brilliantly with tights.
