The Nano Nanoflex Pro 2 Race Bib Shorts are a continuation and evolution of the race-ready and pioneering Omloop thermal shorts. First created for racing and inspired by Pro riders who improvised longer shorts at the early season Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, these latest shorts keep the extra 10 centimetres length to provide more warmth over the knees. The major leap forward to performance comes by the way of the Nano Flex fabric. Soft, stretchy, breathable and as warm as their Thermoflex fabric, it’s superb in cold dry weather but this material provides extra protection on wet days. The soft fleecy inner is luxuriously warm too. For early season races and training where the weather can turn quickly from good to bad and back again, there’s nothing better. As you’d expect, Castelli gets the details just right too. Fewer seams prevent water ingress while also reducing areas that could chafe. And a mesh bib section improves moisture control and lets you easily tailor your base-layer to suit your specific riding conditions. Then there’s the superb Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad inside. Utilising ventilating perforations, it keeps you more comfortable on endurance road rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed with three-layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available. Created as a pro-rider tool for spring Classics racing, the Nanoflex Pro 2 Race Bib Shorts offers you outstanding comfort and performance for your very own spring racing and training endeavours.
Fitting comfortably over your normal everyday clothing, the Commuter Reflex Cycling Jacket at first glance looks like a subtle and stylish rain jacket, a great match with office attire or casual wear. However, it’s also designed to perform brilliantly on the bike, with the reflex fabric being the standout feature. At night reflective elements across the whole jacket come alive when caught in headlamps and the glow of streetlights. By day, those same elements are barely discernible. No odd-looking reflective strips and panels here However, it's not just visibility where this jacket shines. The functional fabric also offers outstanding waterproof performance, rated with a 20,000 mm water column to keep the rain out and taped seams to stop any water ingress. Just as important for cycling is its excellent breathability. A 20,000 MVTR breathability rating means less sweat build-up and a fresher feeling when you arrive at your destination. Ventilation comes by the way of a gaiter at the waist, allowing you to seal in warmth or open for extra airflow. The gaiter also allows for a more natural fit with everyday clothing and gives a refined fit both on and off the bike.
