Castelli Perfetto ROS 2 Long Sleeve JacketWith superb windproof protection, water-repellency for light rain and outstanding breathability, the Castelli Perfetto ROS 2 Long Sleeve Jacket could be just the one cycling jacket you need this winter season. Rain or ShineThe Perfetto ROS 2 Long Sleeve Jacket is part of the super-versatile Rain or Shine family of garments. When it's cold and wet, the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics keep you dry. And in drier and milder conditions, outstanding breathability keeps you comfortable too. Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®To the front of the jacket, water-resistant INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® material, with a light fleece inner face, keeps out both wind and rain. Across the back a lighter and stretchy version of INFINIUM™ prioritises breathability. Because these fabrics don't require a membrane, they ensure you're not drenched in sweat after higher tempo efforts. Because you're drier there's less need for multiple layers underneath. Simply pick your base layer to suit the weather - lightweight when it's mild, heavier weight when it's freezing cold. If you do find yourself feeling a touch too warm, zipped chest vents allow you to dump heat and introduce some extra airflow.Perfetto. Part 2.The ‘2’ in the title signifies several key improvements compared to its predecessor. You now have the convenience of a two-way YKK® Vislon® zipper to the front, making it easy to ventilate from the bottom while keeping your chest covered. Reflective details have also been made more visible.Seams at the top of the shoulder have been repositioned to the back out of the way of the weather. Pockets have also been made larger to hold more gear. While the fit remained focused on smooth performance, there’s now a bit more space across the chest, shoulders and biceps.Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterCastelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfacesGORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathabilityTaped shoulder seams for extra rain protectionTop- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protectionZippered ventilation opening on side of chest3 rear pocketsReflective panel at bottom of pocketsWeight: 296gSuggested Temperature range: 4 to 14 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
The Alpha RoS 2 Light Jacket by Castelli is a lighter version of its ultimate winter jacket, ideal for milder conditions. The new and updated Alpha RoS 2 Light Jacket offers a versatility that disrupts conventional jacket and jersey categorisation. It offers the functionality and comfortable fit of a jersey with the protection of a jacket, shifting the focus of riding through bad weather off kit decisions and back onto your performance. The front and sleeves of the jacket are made from GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER fabric. The lightweight fabric has a unique membrane that delivers the triple crown of being completely windproof, highly breathable, and water repellent. Water resistance is improved further with minimal seaming and seam sealed shoulders, eliminating points where moisture can enter the jacket. For riding when the temperature is in the low teens or the efforts intensify, the back of the jacket is Castellis Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric. This material sheds rain thanks to its water repellent finish but is highly breathable allowing sweat and moisture to escape. The Alpha Light jacket has an internal vest that hugs close to your body. The construction means you can regulate your temperature with ease by opening the external layer to allow airflow into the jacket and evacuate moisture without sacrificing insulation and exposing your body to wind chill. Key Features GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER 150 fabric on front and sleeves for wind protection, breathability, and effective rain protection Nano Flex Xtra Dry on back allows heat and sweat escape while shedding rain thanks to nanotechnology water-repellent finish Alpha double-layer construction separates windproof layer from insulation, allowing controlled ventilation Inner insulation layer in Prosecco Strada for lightweight insulation with effective moisture management Double YKK Vislon front zippers Front zippered pocket 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes Raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you 7 15C / 45 59F Weight: 421g (Large)
Castelli Free Aero RC Bib ShortsFirst launched 15 years ago, and worn to countless victories, the Free shorts are legendary for their comfort. The Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts build on this heritage, making them the best racing shorts Castelli have ever made. You don't have to be a pro rider to enjoy the benefits the 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. Progetto X² Air Seat PadThe top-end Progetto X2 Air 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. Features:Materials: 68% Polyamide, 32% ElastaneMesh: 77% Polyamide, 23% ElastaneHigh-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compressionProgetto X² Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfortMinimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shouldersRear mesh pocket5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafingStitched scorpion logo patch and embossed Castelli wordmark for durabilityReflective piping on back of legsRaw-cut edge at waist for extra stretch and comfortRaw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without siliconegrippersSuggested Temperature range: 15 to 35 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Comfort and speed are two things that triathletes always seek. Being aerodynamic while ensuring ease of movement across triathlon disciplines is something the Castelli Free Sanremo 2 Suit Sleeveless has been designed to do. It provides a performance edge over two-piece tri outfits while offering the same levels of comfort.Its super-light Velocity Rev2 main body fabric ensures a great fit, maximising your freedom of movement when the suit is worn under a wetsuit or swimsuit, while reduced seaming along the legs helps you to cut through water. Meanwhile, the two rear pockets lie flat, facilitating your speed by keeping water out. They are, however, still roomy enough to store plenty of nutrition to perk you up once you start to cycle, while the aerodynamic construction and long legs will help you to build up some serious speed.You’ll also appreciate the highly breathable, cooling Velocity mesh fabric at the back that nonetheless blocks 94% of UV rays as you adopt ride position, not to mention the comfortable KISS Tri seat pad, which is nonetheless thin enough to be barely noticeable during your run. The run is where you’ll most appreciate the muscle support provided by the shorts and the GIRO4 flat leg grippers, which will keep the legs firmly in place as you pound along. The Castelli Sanremo front opening will also come into its own. Its accessible position means you that you will be able to open it part way, to enjoy a cool breeze on warm days or when you’re putting in serious effort, or all the way if you need to relieve yourself.Plus, in the wider context of the race, the front opening makes it easier to bend in comfort during the cycling portion, but still stretch out straight and tall during the swim and run sections. All of these little advantages will add up to make a big difference to you on competition day. Key Features:Now faster than ever!,Velocity Rev2 main body fabric delivers excellent aerodynamics, fit, moisture management,Velocity mesh is breathable yet blocks 94% of UV rays,Armholes constructed to lie flat and promote comfort,Castelli Sanremo front opening,2 roomy but flat pockets,Short construction fits securely with muscle supports,GIRO4 flat leg grippers,KISS Tri seat pad,Weight: 205g (M).
