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.

Rapha Pro Team Flyweight JerseyHeat and humidity are testing conditions for racing jerseys and bib shorts – sweat soaks fabrics, ill-placed seams can cause irritation, and exposed skin risks sun damage – so Rapha’s designers have reworked the Pro Team Flyweight Jersey with two new fabrics and a new construction to create a jersey that thrives in the height of summer.The front of the jersey features a new lightweight fabric with superb ventilation, allowing air to pass over the body. The back of the jersey is made of an alternate lightweight fabric which provides UPF 40 sun protection. Thanks to their excellent breathability, both fabrics dry very quickly – meaning they aren't weighed down with sweat after a few hard efforts in the heat.Features:Main Material: 100% PolyesterJersey weight: 112 grams (size medium)Extremely lightweight cycling jersey for hot to humid weatherPerforated holes under arms for ventilationTriple rear pocket with smart gussets for extra storageMesh fabric under rear pockets for breathabilityPro Team convict stripes on rearReflective piping on rear pocketVISLON® zip for smooth glide and easy one-handed operationPro Team fit for an on-bike positionBuy Rapha Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
The Transition 2 Jacket is a mid-weight jacket perfect for those autumn and spring rides where you want to cut the chill but dont want to overheat. The front and sleeves of the Transition 2 is made from the same windproof fabric as Castellis pro-level Gabba but with a fleece backing for greater warm. The back of the jacket forgoes the wind stopping membrane for greater breathability, letting sweat and excessive heat easily escape. All the details are there, from 3 rear pockets that are perfectly sized and placed, a silicone gripper at the waist holds the jersey in place, to a YKK Vislon zipper makes for easy opening and closing. The fit of the jacket is neutral. Neither restrictive like a race cut or loose like a more casual cut. Along with the reflective detailing, this makes the Transition exceptionally useful and wearable on all manner of rides. Key Features GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER X-Mid front and sleeves for wind protection with exceptional breathability Warmer fleece fabric on back for additional breathability YKK Vislon zipper 3 rear pockets Embossed logo on chest with reflective stripes for visibility Reflective panel below pockets for further visibility 8 16C / 46 61F Weight: 334g (Large)
The Latch™ is built to be the best connection possible between you and flat pedals—especially when the trail gets fast and rowdy. We started with a new fit that brings the foot closer to the pedal and flattens the sole profile, optimizing the contact patch between sole and pedal. Then we collaborated with a team of rubber engineers to formulate Tack™ Rubber, a highly elastic compound that matches grip with durability in our new Gamma tread design. And at the heart of the shoe is a revelation in performance called Mute™ Foam, a midsole foam that's specially engineered with a slow-rebound action that cuts chatter and vibration to help keep you connected to the pedal, regardless of ruts, roots and rocks. The unique combination of fit,a fast-drying Microfiber upper, the grip of Tack Rubber and the damping of Mute Foam makes Latch a new benchmark in flat pedal performance.

Castelli Women's Alpha ROS 2 JacketThe Castelli Women's Alpha ROS (Rain or Shine) 2 Jacket can take you from a cold, crisp and dry winter day on the bike to a cool, wet and blustery spring training ride. It truly lives up to its 'Rain or Shine' name. This third generation of the Women's Alpha ROS 2 Jacket is the best yet. Updates include improved fabrics to give a boost to performance in the wet as well as enhancing breathability while new double-layer cuffs work better with winter gloves. And it still retains the innovative double-layer construction that makes it so good in so many cycling conditions. Rain Out. Warmth in. Dressing for changeable weather is always tricky. Too warm. Not warm enough. Lots of layers. Rain jacket. It's all a bit much sometimes. However, the Women's Alpha ROS 2 is best in class for your cold, dry days on the bike.

Gore® INFINIUM™ Windstopper® 150 fabric is completely windproof, superbly breathable and fends off all but the heaviest of downpours. Meanwhile, the Alpha design keeps the outer weather-protective layer from the inner insulating layer. This allows you to keep your core protected while still ventilating the outer layers. The result is more control of body heat, better moisture evaporation and greater comfort across a wide range of conditions. Performance Fit and FeaturesStretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for an excellent close-to-body fit that still accommodates a wide range of body types. A raw-edge waist that lies flat and moves with you plus the Castelli silicone text gripper at your waist keeps the jacket from riding up. 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes plus an extra pocket with waterproof zip make for a very practical jacket with plenty of storage space.For those of you seeking the ultimate in versatile all-weather, multi-season cycling protection you really need not look any further. Think of this as taking all your winter kit options and distilling it into one incredible do-it-all garment. We think you'll find it's worth every penny.Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterGORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 fabric for wind protection, high breathability and effective rain protectionReduced seaming with seam sealing on shouldersDouble-layer Alpha construction separates the insulating layer from wind/water barrierRaw-edge waist with silicone gripperDouble-layer cuff integrates with glovesBack ventilation3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes + zippered secure side pocket for valuablesWater-resistant YKK® Vislon®Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for excellent close-to-body fitSuggested temperature range: -5 to 10 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
