Castelli Fondo 2 Cycling JerseyA layering piece for spring, autumn and a cool summer evening, the Castelli Fondo 2 Cycling Jersey is great on its own or mixed and matched with gilets and jackets to tailor comfort to the conditions. Being both warm and quick-wicking, the Fondo 2 Cycling Jersey is a versatile thermal jersey suited to cool to mild temperatures. The polyester construction is soft and fleecy on the inside, trapping body heat as you ride. At the same time, when hills and headwinds require extra effort, the quick-wicking performance ensures you're not soaking in sweat and feeling a chill. The fit is kept neutral, not too tight and yet not too loose either. It’s easy to add layers underneath and offers easy mobility when you’re on the bike too. An easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper keeps you in control of ventilation and 3 rear pockets keep essentials within easy reach. And lastly, the bands on the sleeves and the vertical stripe on the pocket are reflective for low-light visibility.Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterMade from polyester fleece for extra warmth and wickingEasy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper3 rear pocketsSilicone gripper elastic at waistLarge reflective panels on both sleeves and center pocketWeight: 255g (M)Suggested temperature range: 12 to 18 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
The Free Aero RC Pro Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Giri d'Italia, San Remo, Roubaix, Liège, and Lombardia, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because, simply put, this is the short that does everything well. The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary. You feel Free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel Free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate Skin Care Layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin. You feel Free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back. You feel Free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% Lycra® with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are sublimation printed so they will never peel, crack, or fade. What It Is The perfect mix of comfort and speed. Engineered for top-level racing, which also makes it supremely comfortable for every ride and rider. Product Features High-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compression Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders Rear mesh pocket 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade Reflective piping on back of legs Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F Weight:183g

The performance tight with the right weight for most winter riding, with a focus on comfort, stretch, and protection. Nano Flex 3G fabric from waist to knee for soft warmth with maximum stretch and water repellency Nano Flex stretch woven fabric with brushed fleece inside at lower leg for splash protection on wet roads Stretchy bottom of leg with raw-cut edge means ankle zipper is not necessary Minimalist bib straps, as found on the Free Aero RC Bibshort, don't add extra bulk Rear pocket at bottom of bib straps Reflective tabs on back of legs Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad for long hours in the saddle. The Free Aero RC Bibtight is made to be your first choice for most of your winter riding. Everything about it is focused on keeping you comfortable and at the right temperature. Every detail, every fabric, every seam will make your winter riding better. This is the tight for those cool to cold days. Not for bitter cold, when you'll want to use a Sorpasso or Sorpasso Wind. Not for mild days, when you'll use leg warmers or a Semifreddo Bibtight. This is for maximum comfort on those days when you need warmth but you're not fighting for survival — those days when you're doing long rides getting ready for the season. Most of the tight is constructed from our Nano Flex 3G fabric. Our third generation of Nano Flex is luxuriously soft, warm, and stretchy. But it also offers excellent breathability, keeps a lot of the wind out, and has our updated Nano Flex water-repellent finish. The lower legs are in our lighter-weight Nano Flex stretch woven fabric with a lightly brushed inside and with leading water repellency. For the rest of the tight we've kept it simple: minimalist Free bib straps that you won't notice, and raw-cut leg endings that are stretchy enough to not need ankle zippers, improving comfort when you pull shoecovers over the top. This is supposed to be your long-ride comfort tight, so the Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad will be protecting your backside.

Castelli Free Aero RC Bib TightsAs you seek fitness gains during winter, building a strong aerobic base ready for spring and summer, you'll really appreciate the high-performance comfort, flexibility, water-repellence and warmth the Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Tights offer. The key to the success of the Free Aero RC Bib Tights is the use of two types of Castelli's own highly functional Nano flex materials. For most of the tights, Castelli deploys their Nano Flex 3G fabric. With a luxuriously soft fleece inside, you'll enjoy the utmost level of warmth as temperatures drop. It's flexible too, allowing for unrestricted pedalling while excellent breathability prevents you from getting too sweaty during high-intensity efforts. Not only that, but it also keeps most of the wind out and the nanotechnology water-repellent finish is just right to fend off drizzly rain. Meanwhile, lighter-weight Nano Flex stretch-woven fabric is used for the lower legs. A lightly brushed inner is warm but it's also good at regulating temperature to prevent overheating. As with the upper, a water-repellent finish prevents the chilly effect across the shins from spray thrown up from wet roads. Simplicity and functionality are key features of the rest of the tights. Minimalist bib straps will soon disappear from your mind while raw-cut ankle ends remove the need for zippers while still keeping a firm fit and working well with overshoes.Men's Progetto X² Air Seamless Seat PadThe pro-level Progetto X² Air Seamless Seat Pad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance road rides.

This is the original jacket/jersey that started an entire new product class: the Gabba. It's a water-resistant short-sleeve jacket that's equally ideal for dry conditions. Made to be worn with our Nano Flex arm warmers, it allows you to keep your core warm without overheating. The 5th generation of the Gabba, from the inventors of the Gabba Now more water-resistant than ever Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfaces GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathability Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets In 2010 Castelli introduced the Gabba to the pros and changed the way pros race in the rain and cold. And the way they dress for cool-weather training. The Gabba also happens to be the perfect cool-weather piece for all the non-pro cyclists out there because of how it keeps your core warm and dry while not being too hot. The latest Gabba is the fifth generation, and this current version is essentially waterproof while maintaining the breathability and wind protection that have always made the Gabba so good. It uses two separate Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics: warmer and 100% waterproof over the front, shoulders, and sleeves, along with a lighter, more breathable, and stretchier fabric on the back that is sufficiently protective against the water that hits your back. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets hold more gear. Typically, we'll layer the Gabba over a sleeveless base layer and short-sleeve jersey, and pair it with Nano Flex arm warmers for cooler and/or wet conditions, or Seamless warmers for mild conditions. The Gabba RoS 2 is a must-have for autumn and spring riding.
