Indoor training is a brilliant way to get a focused training session done without having to battle traffic, junctions and foul weather. However, standard cycling kit isn't necessarily tailored towards the unique environment and demands of indoor training - that is until now, with the Insider Jersey engineered to take on both heat and sweat. The semi-open mesh fabric is just on the verge of transparency, maximising airflow without affecting modesty, ideal for a group training session for instance. It's also quick to wick away sweat before it pools uncomfortably on the skin and it's quick-drying too for greater comfort as you cool down after your efforts. A full-length zipper makes control of extra ventilation easy and if you do want to strip off after warm-up then it's nice and easy to do so. Two pockets on the back make stashing a smartphone, or headband or nutrition easy, whatever you need for a good training session. A low collar and short waist mean enhanced airflow too. While it's designed for indoor training don't let that stop you from pulling it on for a scorching hot summer ride outdoors too, it's the ideal jersey for any cycling situation where heat is a major factor.
For the Insider Bib Shorts, Castelli have used their inferno fabric, this lightweight material is quick to draw moisture off the skin, avoiding discomfort from sweat build-up and it won't get wetted out either so avoids cold clamminess as you cool down. Continuing the lightweight theme the shorts feature the Giro Air leg grippers, raw-cut edges and vertical silicone grippers hold firm without exerting too much pressure. Hard intervals efforts will have you breathing deeply but thanks to the extra-stretchy Doppio waistband you'll always feel unrestricted. The shorter timescales of indoor training don't call for the thickest of pads, instead, the slimmer and lighter Kiss Air2 seat pad keeps comfort levels high but optimises breathability and moisture control, ideal for all your harder interval sessions. If you're short of time or don't relish battling traffic and cold dark evenings, then why not pull on your Insider Bib Shorts and enjoy a hard indoor training session to keep your fitness building during winter - while the legs are screaming you'll still enjoy perfect Castelli comfort.
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.

Turn your fan up and you’ll feel the effects of the 3D mesh, speeding up the cooling effect of sweat evaporation. It’s quick to wick away excess sweat too. This will prevent you from feeling drenched as your efforts swing from high-intensity efforts and rest periods. With its HEIQ Fresh Tech silver-free odour control treatment, you can be sure even the toughest of training sessions won’t leave a nasty smell. There’s also a rear pocket, handy space to stash a gel or two or a music player.
