Castelli Women's Perfetto ROS 2 JacketWith its perfect blend of water-repellence, total windproof performance and outstanding breathability, the Castelli Women's Perfetto ROS 2 Jacket could prove to be the only winter cycling jacket you ever need. Rain or ShineThe Women's Perfetto ROS 2 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.Women's Perfetto.

Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® Lightly fleeced water-resistant INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® faces the worst of the weather across the front, blocking wind and rain. A lighter and stretchy version covers the back for greater breathability. And because there’s no membrane needed it’s far more breathable than most winter jackets. And because you're drier you need fewer layers underneath. Pop on a thinner base layer for milder weather or an insulating layer when it’s freezing cold. You decide. If you do find yourself feeling a touch too warm, zipped chest vents allow you to dump heat and introduce some extra airflow.

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.

The concept for the Free Aero RC Bib Shorts is simple; use a premium seat pad, offer a refined fit with perfect muscle support and then remove everything else that’s not absolutely necessary. Whether you pin on a race number or not, the Free Aero RC are Castelli's most refined race short yet, with a fit and features that make them perfect for any cyclist. Less is More The focus of any cycling short is of course comfort, and here Castelli have taken a less is more approach. Compared to previous Free shorts there are now fewer panels, down from 10 to 5, and hence fewer seams. Highly supportive Forza 2 fabric is used to offer just the right amount of support and compression too. This all combines to give a brilliantly refined and sculpted fit, a wonderful sense of freedom during your pedal stroke and far less chance of chafing. This minimalist approach also extends to the leg grippers - or rather the lack of grippers. Instead, there are raw cut edges that feel fantastic. This has been made possible by extensive testing (28 prototypes), to get the fit and feel just right, and the support of compressive fabric. This gives an unrivalled sense of freedom and comfort that is unmatched. No more harsh elastic or irritating silicone.
