When you’re on your bike you need to be ready for anything, and that’s particularly the case with the weather. Even a bright sunny day can turn to rain – particularly in hilly or mountainous terrain. But with its fully waterproof GORE-TEX® construction, the Women's Tempesta Lite Jacket keeps out both biting wind and heavy rain. It packs down to the size of half a pocket, meaning you’re not sacrificing too much space when you want a ‘just in case’ jacket. Excellent breathability also means you’re not going to get drenched in sweat when the pace of your ride increases or you hit stiff climbs. There’s a smooth sliding YKK® Vislon® waterproof zipper, keeping you in control of ventilation and temperature control too. The fit is close to the body, but with stretchy GORE-TEX® Topo across the back, it gives space to fit over full jersey pockets beneath. Wrist gaiters are also used to work well with gloves and seal out the elements. Lastly, reflective elements make you easier to spot as dark clouds roll through.

Thanks to windproof GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ X-Fast fabric, the Estremo Winter Cycling Gloves offer complete protection from the iciest of winter winds. To the inside, a fleece liner feels brilliantly cosy and in combination with the windproof outer offers excellent insulation to prevent heat loss. The outer surface is treated with a DWR water-repellent finish to shed rain and spray before it's absorbed. Across the palm, the silicone print provides grip in all weathers while the pre-curved construction allows a more natural feel for your handlebars. The extended cuff provides a secure seal against the elements and the Velcro® closure provides an easy to adjust and firm fit.
The Women’s Perfetto ROS 2 Vest could well be the perfect cycling gilet. When it comes to keeping you comfortable in ever-changing weather, it’s hard to beat. The Gore-tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® front shields you from the twin threats of cold wind and light rain. Meanwhile, the membrane-free Nano Flex stretch woven back uses nanotechnology to fend off tyre spray while still remaining highly breathable, preventing sweat from causing discomfort. While offering excellent weather protection, it’s not going to weigh you down, in fact, it’s light and packable enough to pop in a jersey pocket. A two-way zipper keeps you in control of ventilation while offering easy access to your jersey pockets too. 3 rear pockets also make it practical to leave on for your whole ride. With its performance fit the Perfetto vest keeps you streamlined while a high collar is incredibly comfortable too.

We’re not crazy about the word “gravel.” We love riding on it, but we don’t like the way the cycling industry acts like it’s a new sport. We prefer to just call it cycling because we’re still riding bikes, we’re still working up a sweat, we’re still having fun and we’re still beating up on our friends. Castelli’s approach to all-surface riding is called Unlimited. Our riding now is a mixture of paved and unpaved surfaces, but we’re riding just as hard and demanding just as much from our clothing. The Unlimited Jersey uses everything we know about moisture management, fit, shape, and the convenience of zippers that open easily and pockets that are the right shape and in the right place. But on this jersey we took the extra step of using fabrics that better resist snags from tree branches or vines that you’ll find on your favorite trail. The main body fabric is a polyester knit with good stretch and moisture management but better durability than the typical fragile fabric that’s OK on the road. Then on the sleeves, shoulders and back panel we use a stretch woven fabric that is extremely resistant, since this is the area that most often gets snagged. You’ll just be comfortable like you always are in Castelli, but you’ll look good all season long.
