Come spring and summer and ever-longer hours of daylight, there comes the chance to get out and enjoy riding more and more. And when you're riding further, faster and building summer fitness, the Women's Velocissima 3 Cycling Bib Shorts keep you pedalling comfortably. The premium Endurance Evolution fabric used in their construction gives the perfect balance of muscle support and pedalling flexibility. The matte finish also adds a premium look and feel. At the ends of the legs, raw-cut edges give a smooth finish, avoiding excess pressure and bulges, while silicone grippers hold the shorts nicely in place. To the upper body, wide, flexible bib straps can be worn crisscrossed to the front or back, depending on what you find most comfortable. And with that high stretch, you can also take nature breaks without the need to remove the bibs. Kiss Air2 Donna Seat Pad Created specifically for female cyclists, the Kiss Air2 Donna Seat Pad incorporates many features of the top-of-the-line Progetto x2 seat pad but at a more affordable price. Now with an even softer next-to-skin layer and with seamless construction, the Kiss Air2 eliminates chafing and features a bacteriostatic treatment to avoid saddle sores and infection. Next, the dual-density and infinitely variable thickness give you the perfect cushioning for every part of the pad. Thicker, and now more supportive where needed, slimmer where it's not. And with an anatomic shape, pedalling flexibility is in no way compromised.
Premium Performance. Minus a Premium Price. Bringing together as much technology as possible from their premium cycling shorts, but without the premium cost, the Competizione Kit Cycling Bib Shorts are perfectly at home in the cut and thrust of a race but also brilliantly comfortable for all those times when you're not pining a number on. From their Free Aero Race 4 shorts come both the low-drag Vortex BLC textured fabric on the legs and the Giro4 leg grippers, complete with a raw-edge finish for a wonderfully smooth and comfortable fit and slippery aerodynamics. Mesh straps to the bib section guarantee excellent breathability and flatlock stitching ensure chafing is a thing of the past. Not only benefitting from Castelli's fabric know-how, but the Competizione also get a signature Castelli fit. Supportive of your muscles and with the perfect degree of flexibility, they're ever so comfortable from the moment you pull them on. The cost to performance ratio is simply unbeatable. KISS Air2 Seat Pad When you're on the bike you'll also enjoy superb on-the-saddle comfort from Castelli's KISS Air2 seat pad. Next to the skin, you'll enjoy the luxury of Castelli's softest ever surface fabric, delivering immediate comfort. Seamless construction and stretch fit all but eliminate chafing as you push the watts. Next comes the dual-density, variable thickness padding. This sees maximum density and thickness across the ischial zone, reduced thickness around the perineum and then minimum thickness at the edges. This is all wrapped up in an anatomically shaped pad for optimal comfort for any distance.
The Endurance 3 Cycling Bib Shorts elevate traditional cycling shorts to a whole new level of long-ride comfort. Starting with the fabric, this is Castelli’s Endurance Evolution material. Incredibly soft against the skin, it’s also excellent at dealing quickly with moisture while also providing your hard-working muscles with compressive support. At the end of the legs, the renowned GIRO³ leg grippers hold the shorts beautifully in place. When it comes to the fit, Castelli always excels. The Endurance 3s are no different. Seams are carefully placed around the hips to create the perfect fit on the bike. And the careful tailoring ensures you’ll enjoy excellent freedom of movement as you pedal. Progetto X2 Air Seat Pad Inside the shorts, you’ll find Castelli’s premier Progetto X2 Air seat pad. This exceptional seat pad has an incredibly soft and seamless upper face material, delivering superb comfort. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it, thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum. The results are intense comfort with reduced bulk.
Seamless Performance As soon as you pull the Premio Black Bib Shorts on you’ll immediately notice these are unlike other shorts you’ll have worn. They lack the multiple seams of normal shorts and have fewer panels than is usual. This is made possible by an innovative engineered fabric that seamlessly changes in characteristic to suit each part of the body. With no need to stitch panels together, comfort is enhanced and gives the shorts a sleek, sophisticated look. Gradient Stretch At the pelvis, both compression and support are high, holding the seat pad firmly in place. The fabric is also thicker to avoid any transparency issues. Meanwhile, the fabric becomes lighter as it moves down the thighs. This gives a significant boost to mobility and moisture management, ideal as you inject some pace and intensity during your ride. And the four-way stretch provides just the right amount of muscle support. Raw cut endings and rubberised yarns keep the legs securely and smoothly in place too. We then move to the upper body and the bib straps. Once again premium fabrics feature, offering just the right level of hold to secure the shorts without cutting into your shoulders. A perforated back regulates body temperature while bonded edges make sure you don’t notice the thickness of a stitched edge. Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat Pad The first contact point against the skin is the super-soft upper skin-care material. It's now seamless and even softer than previous generation pads. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it - thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum. The results are outstanding comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you're on the saddle for hours on end. Laser-etched logos and a subtle finish ensure the Premio Shorts' looks are as premium as their comfort. With an obsessive attention to detail, these are Castelli’s most refined cycling shorts yet.
When you’re cycling, the Rosso Corsa Pro V Gloves ensure a confident grip as well as protection from bumps and vibrations from the road. Of course the Pro V gloves are also vital to keep your hands free of road rash should you take a tumble. The stretch mesh back keeps hands cool and the hook and loop closure makes them easy to pull on and off. CDS – Castelli Damping System The Castelli Damping System has been designed to address the numbness and discomfort you can experience when gripping the handlebars for extended periods of time. Key zones of the hand benefit from a combination of protective materials and cushioning foam/gels, reducing the impact of road vibrations on the hand. Control and comfort are optimised across almost any road surface.
These Arenberg Gel Gloves have the all-terrain DNA of their short-fingered cousins but with their long finger design give greater overall protection. With silicone prints to the forefingers, they provide added grip of shift/brake levers, giving confidence you'll always get the gear you need and brake in time as the terrain gets rough. The Castelli Damping System can be found on the palm, reducing numbness and at the same time boosting long-ride comfort by absorbing vibrations from the road or trail. A MicroMesh back keeps weight to a minimum and keeps your hands free of sweat. Time to ride some rough stuff. Castelli Damping System As cyclists, we can occasionally suffer numbness and discomfort in the hands, simply from prolonged periods of gripping the bars. The Castelli Damping System seeks to address this issue by carefully positioning a combination of cushioning foams and protection in key zones across the palm, providing damping from road vibration and increasing control and comfort.

The Women's Go Cycling Jacket makes use of the same GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® three-layer stretch fabric as their iconic Alpha ROS 2 jacket. However, it forgoes the Alpha’s integrated insulating layer, allowing you to tailor your base layer weight and insulation levels precisely, bringing you comfort across a wide variety of temperatures. With the INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® preventing cold winds from robbing body heat, you’ll soon feel, and hold onto, the warmth you generate through riding. It’s highly breathable too, so a sudden injection of pace or a stiff climb won’t result in you being soaked in sweat. Lastly, water resistance also keeps off light rain and road spray. With weather protection taken care of, next comes the Castelli fit. The tailoring ensures a close, streamlined fit, but one with some space for layering and to be suitable for all shapes and sizes. A no-sew hem gives the jacket a smooth elegantly technical finish while hidden internal cuffs at the wrist boost comfort by eliminating drafts. Three rear pockets give plenty of space to load up for your longest of rides and a large reflective strip across the bottom ensures you’re visible when training finishes after dark. Similar in warmth to a Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve, the Go Cycling Jacket gets a slightly more relaxed fit and a more tailored look for those of you not in race mode. Stretchy, comfortable, breathable, windproof, water-resistant, elegant, and lightweight, this jacket has it all. Get out and Go.
