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. Ready for Winter While it may not have the rain and splash protection of Castelli's pricier models, the Women's Explore Velocissimo Bib Tights certainly cut no corners when it comes to keeping you warm on a cold, dry day of bike riding. The luxuriously soft and flexible Thermoflex fabric is fleece-lined, giving you instant feelings of warmth and comfort. At the same time, it's also breathable, letting sweat escape during harder efforts of headwinds and hill climbs. The flexibility and Castelli's tailoring expertise combine, allowing you the total freedom of movement needed for smooth and powerful pedalling. To the upper body, the mesh bib straps prioritise breathability, allowing both your skin to breathe and for air to flow to the body to speed moisture evaporation. The wide cut of the straps at the bust also offer a more comfortable fit. Meanwhile, at the ankles, Camlock® zips allow for easier dressing and undressing. And with reflective details to catch the eye after dark, you'll be easier to spot during your evening training sessions. KISS Air2 Donna Seat Pad When it comes to comfortable two-wheeled exploration, it's hard to better the support and comfort offered by the KISS Air2 Donna seat pad. This female-specific pad takes its cues from the top-of-the-line Progetto X2 seat pad but at a more affordable price. A seamless and super soft, brushed microfibre top maximizes comfort and fit. It's flexible to move with you and a bacteriostatic treatment helps stop saddle sores and infection. Dual-density and infinitely variable thickness foam give you the perfect cushioning for every part of the pad -maximum thickness and density in the ischial zone, tapering to moderate thickness in the perineum, and minimum thickness at the perimeter.
When it's time to build your aerobic base and slowly increase your winter miles despite the colder temperatures and frequent rain showers, you’ll want the superb warmth and comfort of the Women's Free Aero RC DT Bib Tights to keep you company. The majority of the tights are composed of Castelli’s 3rd generation Nano Flex material. Nano Flex 3G is brushed-backed to offer luxurious warmth and with excellent stretch, it won’t restrict a fluid pedal stroke either. Not only that, but it’s also highly breathable to prevent cold sweat build-up and does a good job of blocking much of the wind. Lastly, it also features a nano-technology water-repellent finish, brushing off damp and drizzly weather conditions. To the lower part of the legs, you’ll find lighter Nano Flex stretch woven fabric. This is lightly brushed on the inside, trapping body heat. But excellent breathability prevents you from overheating. And it’s great at shrugging off spray from the road thanks to its nanotechnology water-repellent finish. Drop-Tail (DT). Nature Stops Made Easy. Simplicity and functionality are key features of the rest of the tights. The Drop Tail (DT) bib strap design means there's no fussing when it comes to nature breaks. No need to remove layers and remove straps when you want to stop and go. At the ankles, raw-cut ends remove the need for zippers while still keeping a firm fit and work well with overshoes too. Women’s Progetto X² Air Seamless Donna Seat Pad The pro-level Progetto X² Air Seamless Donna seat pad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance road rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed in 3-layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad
Designed for cool riding conditions the LW Bib Tights have an upper very similar to the Omloop bib shorts, but with extra thermal protection over the front of the knees and Nano Light fabric lowers for water repellency against road spray. This construction makes for incredible comfort and the lack of resistance around the knee makes them feel almost like shorts when pedalling. The mesh upper allows for excellent breathability and allows you to tailor warmth levels with your base layer. For long-ride comfort, you have the Progetto X2 Air Seatpad utilising ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and dryer on endurance road rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed in 3 layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available. For milder weather, and high-intensity cold-weather training the LW Bib Tights strike a perfect balance of protection, warmth and freedom of movement. Whether you're on a mild-temperature long winter base ride or hitting some early season intervals these are the perfect option.
Renowned for product innovation, including the first consumer-available Lycra® cycling shorts to anatomical seat pads, Castelli know how to make great cycling products. And that constant push for innovation and excellence has been distilled into the Entrata 2 Bib Knickers. They’re entry-level cycling tights with high-end performance. Just right from the moment you pull them on, you'll soon be riding further and faster and more comfortably than ever before. The Pro Dry matte Lycra® provides the ideal level of compression, remains perfectly flexible for smooth pedalling and deals efficiently with sweat. Mesh bib straps ensure your upper body remains cool and fresh and the smooth Giro3 leg grippers give a smooth but firm grip of the legs. And as with every Castelli short, the fit is sublime, the 8-panel design hugging and flexing in all the right places for outstanding comfort. They're made to last too, with the logos and reflective details stitched in so no peeling even after many seasons of use. Perfect.

If you love nothing more than discovering new roads and trails to ride, and the sense of adventure as new vistas open up, the Unlimited Cargo Bib Shorts are for you. It matters not whether you’re out for a few hours, all day or even multiple day trips, the extra pockets are super-useful to have. You have a total of four pockets to load up with extra kit. Cargo pockets on each thigh and mesh pockets across the back. The thigh pockets expand to hold lots of gear but compress to prevent bouncing around. Pocket flaps also prevent your stuff from flying out when you hit the rough stuff. Castelli’s tried, and trusted GIRO⁴ leg grippers keep the shorts in place as you whizz across roads and trails. A raw edge and vertical silicone stripes offer a firm hold without excess compression too. And then there’s the premium Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad, offering perfect comfort for anything from fast XC mountain bike rides to multi-day gravel bike adventures.

Always a perennial favourite among Endura's professional riders, the FS260 Pro Bib Shorts are constructed from the highest quality Italian fabric, giving you the most comfortable experience possible every time you ride. An enormous amount of care has gone into the creation of these performance bib shorts, and the superb fit more than backs that up attention to detail. A pre-curved shape provides the finest degree of flexibility for smooth pedalling while their aero cut slips easily through the air. The shorts also feature raw edge grip rib hems that hold everything in place without causing discomfort. Stay Cool. Coldblack Technology. The real trick here is the use of patented Coldblack tech within the fabric that keeps you cool even when the raw heat of summer arrives. Heat is dissipated at incredible speed even when put under the most intense direct sunlight, reflecting both infrared and UV rays away from the textile for less heating. Not only that, but the sun’s harmful rays are kept at bay too, up to a minimum of UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50. Men’s 600 Series Gel Pad The updated 600 series Italian stretch pad is now better than ever. It features ‘Continuously Variable Profile’ (CVP) technology, the supportive foam being sculpted from a single block, with gel inserts for extra comfort. A TRS perforated foam ’dermis’ layer is positioned under the face for improved blood-flow and wicking especially on longer rides (4 hours and more). Meanwhile, the super-soft fast-wicking microfibre face fabric, with a permanent antibacterial finish, gives you excellent comfort and freshness all day long. Lastly, a front mesh panel improves air circulation, just what you need on a hot summer ride.
Rather than just sticking a bit of pink on a male bib and labelling it as “women’s”, the female cut of the FS260 Pro DS Bib Shorts from Endura have carefully considered what a woman needs from her racewear. As a result, the DropSeat (DS) zipped construction has an improved stretch in it so that you can take comfort breaks quickly and with ease. It’s amazing the difference that it makes. But don’t think that speed and performance has gone out the window as a result. The high-quality Italian fabric hugs the body for a great aero fit, a raw edge grip rib hem and silicone grippers keep the shorts in place, and an antibacterial finish in the seat pad keeps you fresher for longer. Pro by name, pro by nature. Women's 600 series pad Endura's Women's 600 Pad is specifically designed for the female form, with an ergonomic design that moulds to the body providing, comfort, support and easy freedom of movement when pedalling. Using multi-density foams and gel inserts it's ideally suited to endurance riding while maintaining minimal bulk. Incorporating Silver Dry antibacterial technology means you'll also enjoy enhanced freshness even after a long day in the saddle.
For the FS260 Pro Thermo Bib Shorts, Endura makes use of a luxurious Thermoroubaix® fabric with PFC Free DWR M™ treatment that brings together insulation, comfort and water repellency. The cosy bib upper is made with a high stretch y-form binding for excellent fit and comfort. The Ergonomic multi-panel construction makes for shorts that fit just right when on the bike. Men's 600 Series Gel Pad On the saddle comfort is offered by way of Endura's 600 series pad. This innovative pad is computer cut from a single foam block with a “Continuously Variable Profile” (CVP), and gel inserts that give cushioning and support only where you need it most, stripping away excess material where you don't. The antibacterial finish ensures freshness from mile one to the end of your ride, no matter what the distance. We love this style of cosy and water-resistant bib-shorts. They offer just the right amount of weather protection and warmth for early-season races and high tempo cool weather training. Paired with knee or leg warmers they offer super versatility pretty much any season of the year.
Whether you've just discovered the joys of cycling, quickly progressing to longer rides or already clocking up the miles and enjoying challenging sportives, the Xtract Gel Bib Shorts II have all the performance you could want, without breaking the bank. The ultra-fast wicking Xtract™ fabric does a brilliant job of moving sweat off the skin, keeping you cool and fresh as the pace or gradient rise. The inside of the legs are seam-free to prevent chafing when pedalling and selected seams are flat-locked to enhance both comfort and durability. The high-quality 400-series pad at the heart of these shorts is a moulded stretch pad in a plush microfibre face fabric for luxurious comfort with strategically positioned gel inserts. The maximum thickness of 15mm with an antibacterial and wicking finish plus dimpled structure improves comfort on pressure points, resulting in exemplary support across a range of distances.
