Simple but effective, the thermal Women's Velocissima Thermal Waist Tights are ideally suited to cycling in cool and dry winter conditions. Made from Castelli’s Thermoflex fabric, the soft, brushed inner face traps warmth. It’s breathable too, so even more intense efforts and a rise in temperatures won’t leave you soaked in sweat. At the waist, the lie-flat construction offers a smooth and comfortable fit, letting you adapt to your riding position with ease. And at the ankles, the smooth gripper keeps your tights in place while zippers make it easier to pull them on and off. Reflective details also keep you more visible when riding before the sun rises or as it sets. Women's KISS Air² Donna Seat Pad The Women's KISS Air² Donna Seat Pad offers high-performance comfort across a wide range of cycling conditions. The single-piece construction makes use of variable thickness foams to offer targeted support where you need it most and remove bulk where you need less. A soft and stretchy fabric next to the skin delivers unrivalled comfort.
Just because the Women's Unlimited DT Liner Bib Shorts are hidden under your baggies doesn’t mean that Castelli have taken any short-cuts on delivering you all-day cycling comfort. At their heart sits the premium Women’s specific Progetto X² Air Donna seamless seat pad. With a super-soft and stretchy Skin Care Layer, it gives instant comfort. Meanwhile, a Cushioning Layer, featuring both dual-density foam and gel padding, offers progressive support and vibration damping. Comfort is also enhanced by the use of compressive Force fabric around the hips. This not only offers excellent flexibility, and is superbly breathable, but it also ensures the seat pad holds the ideal position. A light and airy leg construction prevents overheating, and the gauze-like Giro Air elastic grippers are unobtrusive and comfortable. They also make it easy to adjust the leg length to your preference. Last, but by no means least, Castelli’s drop-tail bib design lets you take a natural break without removing the straps. They’re free-floating too, so you can choose to cross them in front or back.
The Semifreddo Bib Tights gets their ‘Semifreddo’ name from an Italian dessert, one that’s chilled but not frozen. Just the kind of weather conditions they excel in. They’re the perfect tight for days too cold for shorts and leg warmers combo but too mild for full thermal winter tights. Over the thighs and around the hips Castelli have used their soft, flexible and fleecy Thermoflex fabric. As you generate body heat, the fleecy inner does a wonderful job of hugging that warmth close to the skin. The lower leg uses Castelli’s Nano Flex stretch woven fabric. Lighter in weight than the upper, it ensures you don’t overheat, and water-repellency ensures wet roads aren’t a problem either. Holding your tights comfortably but firmly in place are minimalist bib straps. Made from mesh they also allow for excellent breathability, regulating temperature as your effort levels rise and fall. Zipper-less ankles give a smooth fit and make for a better fit inside shoe covers. There are also reflective tabs to keep you visible during low-light conditions. Men’s Progetto X² Air Seamless Seat Pad The pro-level Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance road rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed in 3-layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available.
Rain or Shine Part of the versatile Rain or Shine (ROS) family, the Perfetto ROS 2 Long Sleeve Jacket covers a wide range of riding conditions. Excellent breathability ensures comfort in drier milder conditions while wet conditions are combatted with the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. 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. 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.
The Original. Still the Best. First revolutionising wet-weather race kit back in 2010, the Gabba ROS 2 Jersey offers incredibly versatile performance across a wide range of cycling conditions. For cool weather and damp conditions, it excels. But it’s also breathable enough to keep you comfortable when it’s drier and milder. Powered by INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® So, what is it that makes the Gabba ROS 2 so versatile? First and foremost, it’s the Castelli exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. Across the front, sleeves and shoulders, INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 provides total wind protection, is highly water-resistant while the brushed inner face traps warmth. The back of the jersey uses a lighter and stretchy INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203. This prioritises enhanced breathability, delivering you comfort when temperatures and the pace rises. It’s water-repellent too, fending off road spray. Best. Now Better. Castelli have made a number of improvements to this 5th generation Gabba. The YKK® Vislon® front zipper is now two-way, letting you boost ventilation from both the top and the bottom. For low-light cycling, the reflectivity is now more visible and pockets to the back now hold more gear. Lastly, seams at the shoulders have been moved to the back, reducing exposure to wind and rain. The Gabba RoS 2 is a must-have for autumn and spring riding when weather conditions can change in an instant.
Even with an electric fan on full blast, the efforts of a tough training session on the turbo trainer will soon have you building a sweat. This is why the Women’s Insider Shorts have been designed to be as light as possible and to be as breathable as possible, with no superfluous details needed. Castelli makes use of lightweight 195 g/m² Lycra® for the body. This keeps bulk down, flexibility up and the excellent breathability needed to deal with your efforts. There are also mesh side panels, allowing for the cooling effect of extra airflow to come into play. The raw-cut leg endings continue the minimalist theme, offering a smooth and comfortable fit without excess bulk. Inside the shorts, the Women’s specific Progetto X² Air Skin seat pad is ideally suited to indoor training, with excellent moisture control and a super-soft next to skin layer.
Rain or Shine. Road and Off-Road. Part of the versatile Rain or Shine (ROS) and Unlimited families, Unlimited Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jacket covers a wide range of riding conditions when you’re heading off the beaten track. Excellent breathability ensures comfort in drier milder conditions while wet conditions are combatted with the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. Perfetto. Part 2.

When seeking to create a base layer for freezing cold days, Castelli’s design team turned to the insulating power of Polartec® Alpha®. What they found is that on its own it tended to feel a bit too damp and clammy for use as a stand-alone base layer. However, paired up with a quick-wicking base it offered superb warmth and comfort. The result is the Women’s Cold Days 2nd Layer Jersey. Thanks to Polartec® Alpha®, this cycling top is incredibly lightweight, soft and yet offers superb insulation against the cold. It certainly won't weigh you down or get in the way but still retains incredible levels of warmth. It’s the perfect mid-layer to complement your favourite winter base layer. Details have also been carefully designed for mid-layer comfort. A half-zip allows you to vent but lessens bulk over the torso. It's also slightly off-centre, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the zips on your outer jacket or jersey. The high neck offers a warm seal against the cold while the close fit lets you tuck it into your tights or leave it outside.
The key to the cool-weather performance of the Pro Thermal Mid Short Sleeve Jersey is in its use of mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric. It’s still got a fleece inner face for warmth, but Castelli have lightened it up a bit to make sure you don’t overheat when injecting some pace. It’s a brilliant jersey for spring and autumn and its performance can be extended across a wide range of conditions with a vest and arm warmers. Thanks to its excellent breathability, the Pro Thermal also allows sweat to escape easily. And with more stretch, thanks to extra elastane, and a race fit, it allows for a speed-focused streamlined fit while not feeling too tight. As a pro-performance garment, Castelli have kept details functional and focused. The YKK® Vislon® zipper slides easily, letting you boost airflow as and when needed. The drop-pocket construction allows you to load up and yet the jersey remains in a secure and stable position. There’s also a reflective stripe on the centre pocket, enhancing visibility after dark.
