Come autumn, winter and spring you can face a wide range of conditions when you head out on your bike. And your efforts can range from slow and steady miles to high-intensity interval training. Here, getting your kit just right can be tricky. But this is where the Alpha ROS 2 Light Jacket excels. The Perfect Balance Achieving the perfect harmony between warmth, breathability and weather-protection is made possible via the unique double-layer construction. Inside, a Prosecco Strada inner liner, with 2nd front zip, works to move sweat off the skin and prevent you from getting wet and chilly when working hard. Meanwhile, the front of the Alpha Light uses Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150, highly breathable and windproof material with excellent water-repellency, fending off mist, drizzle and road spray. An outer zip lets you open the outer for extra ventilation while the inner can remain zipped up to keep your core protected. Meanwhile, the back uses Nano Flex Xtra Dry, with nanotechnology water-repellent finish, providing a boost to breathability and air-exchange. When the pace increases and effort levels rise you'll be happy to find you don't end up drenched in sweat. Fit and Features The advanced patterning makes for an excellent close-to-body fit, the extra stretch at the waist keeping the fit sleek while a raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you. Finished with a Castelli silicone text gripper at the waist, it keeps that jersey/jacket from riding up. Three rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes plus a front zippered pocket take care of all your storage needs. It may be called a jacket but it's so much more. For your more intense rides in wetter and changeable weather or for cool days of steady miles then the warmth, breathability and wet weather protection strike just the right balance to keep you dry and comfy all ride.

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
Castelli’s Women’s Perfetto ROS 2 Wind Jersey came about because of a pro-rider request. They wanted a Gabba for racing, but that garment often proved too hot when the pace increased. And so the lighter and more breathable Perfetto Light was created – and with some key improvements, it’s now the Women’s Perfetto ROS 2 Wind Jersey. Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch is used across the front and sleeves, protecting you from the chilling effects of cool winds. Meanwhile, across the back, Nano Flex Light Woven offers a snug fit alongside superb breathability and lightweight water repellence. Together they deliver reliable wind protection and the water-repellency to protect against light rain and damp roads. This versatile construction lets you wear it like a traditional gilet over a summer jersey, just with sleeves. Or pair it with a lightweight base layer and arm warmers and it’s a lightweight windproof cycling jersey on its own. Castelli have improved the front zipper – it’s now a smooth running two-way YKK® Vislon® zipper, allowing you to control ventilation from the top and bottom. The reflectivity is also now more visible, and the three rear pockets offer plenty of space for your essentials.
Castelli Flight Long Sleeve Jersey AirSurprisingly light in weight and yet offering excellent cool-weather warmth, the Castelli Flight Long Sleeve Jersey Air is ideally suited for cycling during autumn and spring. Castelli takes their highly functional, partially windproof Nano Flex Light material, used for the back of their renowned Perfetto vest, and uses it to make the Flight Long Sleeve Jersey Air. With its tightly woven structure, it's great at keeping out much of the wind, preventing the heat-sapping effect of windchill.Despite offering more wind protection than a regular long-sleeve woven jersey, it still maintains outstanding breathability too. With no membrane used, moisture can easily escape, while what air does pass through to the inside does a great job of regulating your temperature. Extra comfort also comes via a 3D mesh lining across the front. This delivers quick-wicking performance, ensuring sweat doesn't pool on the skin. During and after harder efforts you’ll find you’ll feel drier and more comfortable thanks to this extra layer. And being drier you’ll remain warmer too.The stretch woven material also gives the jersey a close-to-the-body fit but with plenty of flexibility. In fact, Castelli dub this jersey their Aero Race Jersey for cool conditions. A full-length zipper keeps you in control of ventilation and raw-cut wrist cuffs fit well with your lighter-weight spring/autumn gloves.Features:Materials: 78% Polyester, 22% ElastaneNano Flex Light woven fabric all around partially blocks wind, but lack of a membrane guarantees maximum breathability3D Mesh fabric from Castelli’s base layer range used as front lining for extra warmth and moisture managementYKK® Vislon® zipperRaw-cut wrists integrate easily with glovesClose-to-body fit3 rear pocketsReflective wordmark on back pocketWeight: 190gSuggested Temperature range: 10 to 16 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
