With their Pro Seamless Arm Warmers, Castelli have started from scratch to create a better product. Other brands tend to use a simple nylon/lycra blend that holds moisture. Not good. Instead, Castelli have turned to Polyester to improve moisture management - it's harder to get right in terms of stretch, return and manufacturing consistency, but the benefits paid off in the end. The Pro Seamless will surprise you with how light they are and yet they're surprisingly warm too. Even as the weather turns mild, excellent moisture management prevents you from overheating. A high degree of stretch makes them brilliantly comfortable and when you take them off to stash in a pocket they take up a fraction of the space of normal warmers.
The key to the all-around performance of the Women's Perfetto ROS Gloves is the combination of GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ shell, Stretch Warm fabric and a fleecy inner lining for warmth. INFINIUM™ is completely windproof so bitter winter winds can't rob warmth and it's also nicely water-resistant so damp, drizzly conditions can be faced into with confidence. Grip of the bars is also vital in less-favourable conditions and here the lack of bulk ensures excellent dexterity and silicone zones on the palm enhance your hold of the bars. With the Castelli Damping System (CDS) also present, pressure on the median nerve is dissipated and long rides can be ticked off in comfort. Cold hands soon spoil a winter ride but thanks to the Women's Perfetto ROS Gloves you'll power through icy winds and rain showers without a care in the world. RoS in the name signifies Rain or Shine.
Be it a chilly morning start or a long mountain descent, the Women's Squadra Stretch Cycling Jacket is easily pulled on to keep you protected from the effects of cool breezes. Coated ripstop nylon provides wind protection to the front, while to the back it'll fend off the tyre spray from damp roads too. Tightly knitted side panels give the jacket some stretch, keeping the fit as flap free as possible while also being great for a wide range of body shapes. A high-cut collar lessens the chances of cold winds getting in and a longer back adds coverage over your shorts or winter tights. Reflective details to the chest and tail make you easier to spot as the light fades. Simple, effective and offering great value, the Squadra stretch is also easily packed away when conditions improve.

And the grip control palm offers unshakeable grip no matter the weather. This is the glove for the nastiest, coldest cycling conditions. No excuses. It’s time to get cycling.

And with the Women's Sorpasso ROS (Rain or Shine) Waist Tights you can go out in most conditions and get your training done in comfort. Nano Flex Technology For the majority of the tight, Castelli uses their brilliant Nano Flex 3G fabric. It offers both incredible warmth and excellent water-repellency via third-generation nanotechnology fabric treatment. And it has a superb level of flexibility too, so the tights never feel restrictive. But not just that, the fabric is also highly breathable so you don't feel clammy when you're working hard. In areas most exposed to the weather and in need of extra protection, namely the upper front panels, thighs and across the back, you'll find Nano Flex Xtra Dry deployed. This adds both extra warmth and windproof protection while also boosting water-repellency. Sleek Fit While the fabrics may take centre stage, the fit of the Sorpasso tights is also worth admiring. Anatomic patterning gives a perfect fit at the hips and knees, delivering smooth pedalling flexibility in and out of the saddle. And then there's the fabulously comfortable women's Progetto X² Air seamless seat pad to make even the longest rides comfortable.

There are no better tights to pull on in winter to keep you motivated to rack up those base-building miles. Come rain or shine you'll be ready to roll in comfort.
Castelli's Unlimited range is all about new cycling adventures, exploration and fun. You're still riding fast, still challenging yourself but with modern bikes and wider tyres nowhere is now off-limits. And for this, the Women’s Unlimited Baggy Shorts are the perfect riding partner. Made from a stretch woven fabric, they offer excellent flexibility and easy manoeuvrability, letting you pedal easily and move quickly as the terrain and grip changes beneath your chunky tyres. They're tough too, resisting snags and abrasions from trailside overgrowth or in case you slide out on a fast gravel corner. And with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish you can splash through streams and puddles without fear of a soaking. The cut is kept slim, so they don’t bag or balloon out when you’re riding. But they look good off the bike too. With jean style pockets you’ve got secure space for smaller items. And because they’re unpadded, you can choose your favourite liner/bib shorts to pair them with. These are shorts you will love to wear as you explore new horizons.

Probably the ideal choice for the majority of your winter cycling, the Velocissimo 5 Bib Tights mixes functional fabrics to fend off cooler temperatures and panels that resist damp roads. Most of the tight are made in Castelli’s Thermoflex fabric. This may not be their warmest fabric, but in cool weather, it’s ideal to take a chill off while offering fantastic stretch and a soft feel against the skin. When you don’t need a deep winter tight it’s ideal. From just below the knee, you’ll find Nano-flex deployed. This stretch-woven fabric, with a fleece back, is both warm and offers water-repellent performance to keep road spray off. The high level of stretch ensures a smooth fit and the raw ankle edge, without zippers, keeps the fit firm and streamlined but still easy to pull on and off. Meanwhile, the mesh bib section upper maintains excellent sweat management. KISS Air² Seat Pad The KISS Air² seat pad has been designed specifically for male riders, providing high-performance comfort across all conditions. Next to the skin, a super-soft stretch microfibre offers brilliant comfort. And with seamless construction, chafing and abrasion are all but eliminated.

Fitting comfortably over your normal everyday clothing, the Commuter Reflex Cycling Jacket at first glance looks like a subtle and stylish rain jacket, a great match with office attire or casual wear. However, it’s also designed to perform brilliantly on the bike, with the reflex fabric being the standout feature. At night reflective elements across the whole jacket come alive when caught in headlamps and the glow of streetlights. By day, those same elements are barely discernible. No odd-looking reflective strips and panels here However, it's not just visibility where this jacket shines. The functional fabric also offers outstanding waterproof performance, rated with a 20,000 mm water column to keep the rain out and taped seams to stop any water ingress. Just as important for cycling is its excellent breathability. A 20,000 MVTR breathability rating means less sweat build-up and a fresher feeling when you arrive at your destination. Ventilation comes by the way of a gaiter at the waist, allowing you to seal in warmth or open for extra airflow. The gaiter also allows for a more natural fit with everyday clothing and gives a refined fit both on and off the bike.
