The front of the Aria Vest Gilet is completely windproof, preventing any loss of warmth via windchill. Meanwhile, the Striped mesh back fabric provides outstanding breathability so you don't get too hot and sweaty. And both materials are super-light, creating a vest coming in at 75g, meaning you'll barely feel the vest once it's on. However, it's not just the core windproof protection you'll love. The fit is brilliant too. Gone is a flappy, loose garment and in its place is a streamlined and stretchy fit that won't slow you down when cycling. Thanks to the stretch you still enjoy full mobility too. And when you're ready to take it off, it folds into its own pack pocket, taking up minimal space in your jersey pocket.

And what better way to bring some extra colour to your ride than with Castelli's special edition prints. These are garments that are sure to make their mark whenever you pull them on.

The 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.

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.
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 Tempest 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 for full pockets (and yes, accommodates the few extra kilos of winter weight). Wrist gaiters are also used to work well with gloves and seal out the elements. Lastly, reflective elements make it easier to spot you as dark clouds roll through.
