Heat. Altitude. No Problem. The design of the Climber's 3.0 SL Cycling Jersey was a direct result of the needs of pro riders needing a jersey for racing in the high mountains and heat of summer races. While few of us regularly experience the rigours of racing those soaring peaks and hot mountain passes, the products created off the back of them benefit us all. The first thing to note is the weight or rather lack of it. A size large comes in at a featherweight 106 grams and the open fabrics ensure as much cooling airflow as possible, at both low and high speeds. Quick-drying fabrics prevent discomfort from sweat build-up and has the advantage of preventing you from feeling the chill from cold sweat windchill when plunging down the descents. Even on damp days, it doesn’t soak up moisture, so much so the pros often use this jersey even when it’s wet. Ready to Race The fit is also very much race-focused. In fact, the patterning is taken from the super-smooth Aero Race Jersey, delivering aerodynamically efficient performance alongside its lack of weight. Elbow-length sleeves, with raw-cut edges, and airflow shoulders both reduce drag too. And for bright sunny days on the bike, the back blocks more than 90% of UV rays. Even if you’re not racing or tackling the searing heat and steep slopes of the Alps this summer, you’ll still love and benefit from how cool, streamlined and light this jersey is. Light. Dry. Fast. Bring on summer cycling.
Castelli are renowned for pushing boundaries when it comes to cycling performance. And the Entrata VI Short Sleeve Jersey benefits from this extensive R&D, engineered with the same attention to detail as their top-end jerseys. This can be seen in the one-piece sleeves, with aero-optimized seaming, keeping you streamlined as speeds rise. Raw-cut sleeve endings also fit brilliantly, without constricting. Four-way stretch Air Mesh fabric gives a snug but comfortable fit. And it’s lightweight too, perfect for warm summer days on the bike. Castelli also adds their ProSecco treatment, ensuring sweat is dealt with quickly and efficiently. UPF 30 sun protection, filtering 97% of UV rays, also keeps you more comfortable under summer skies. Details are thoughtfully applied too. A full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper is easy to slide, a stretch panel in the centre pocket allows extra carrying space and a silicone gripper keeps the back of the jersey in place. As the sun sets, a reflective insert on the pocket keeps you more visible as you pedal homewards.
From Split Second to Aero 6.0 The original Castelli aero jersey for road racing first saw light in 2006. It was known as the Split Second jersey. It was at a time when aerodynamics was only really considered important for time trials. Baggy cycling jerseys were the norm until that very first Castelli aero focused jersey appeared. However, with every new version of the jersey, the aerodynamic advantages have proved to be worth far more than just a few split seconds. It’s now known as the Aero Race 6.0 Cycling Jersey - designed to take your velocity up another notch. Using CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) to analyse wake-flow, the Aero Race 6.0 will fit you even better when you're in an aggressive riding position while seam placement has been optimised to minimise drag. At speeds of between 30 and 55 km/h, the aerodynamic efficiency is optimised giving more speed without an increase of power output compared to a standard jersey. Same training. Same power. More speed. You could almost call it free speed. Cool and Fuelled Of course, riding fast, whether in training or racing, is going to generate heat. That, in turn, leads to sweat. However, the Aero Race 6.0 isn't just efficient through the air it's also efficient in dealing with moisture too. Quick wicking and with a 3D mesh back you'll be cooler and drier as you push hard on the pedals. To keep you up to speed and fully fuelled for your ride, the pockets are easily accessible when stuffed with gels and thanks to the drop tail design the jersey remains sleek even when they're loaded up. The Aero Race 6.0 Jersey is Castelli's most aerodynamically advanced design to date and yet it's also their best fitting too - Just ask their WorldTour professional riders. A remarkably comfortable high-performance cycling jersey whether it's your longest days in the saddle or a short and intense criterium race.
Rather than lather up arms in sunscreen, you can instead get reliable sun protection with the Prologo 7 Long Sleeve Cycling Jersey. The lightweight micro-piqué polyester body provides a UPF of 50 (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), blocking 98% of UV rays. But with plenty of airflow, this fabric also ensures you don’t overheat under warm skies and harder pedalling efforts. Super-light and stretchy sleeves in Velocity Rev2 fabric won’t weigh you down either, with quick-wicking performance to deal with sweat. And yet they too block 97% of UV rays, giving you a UPF of 30. While excelling in summer, with a heavier weight base layer it’s also great for cooler spring and autumn days. And with a smooth sliding full-length front zip, it’s easy to regulate airflow and body temperature. 3 rear pockets are there to load up with your essentials, the drop-pocket design putting them in just the right place too.
The Prologo has always been a popular jersey thanks to its winning combination of performance materials and refined fit. And this iteration, the Prologo 7 Cycling Jersey continues that tradition. The Micro-piqué polyester used for the body gives a luxurious softness and it’s brilliant at dealing with the sweat you generate too. Sleeves use Velocity Rev2, a nod to smooth aerodynamics, and raw-cut endings are wonderfully comfortable as well as streamlined. On hot days, you’ll more than welcome the full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper, keeping you in control of airflow and temperature regulation. 3 rear pockets ensure you have space for nutrition, fuelling you for the ride, as well as any small tools or an emergency gilet. The dropped design also keeps the pockets nicely in place and minimises sagging when you have them loaded up. And with reflective details, you’ll be more visible on rides that stretch into the fading light of a summer evening.

If there’s just one jersey you should pick to cover all your cycling bases, the Endurance Pro Jersey is the one. Long-ride comfort comes via stretch fabrics and close fit. This maintains excellent streamlining but also ensures you don’t feel restricted on the bike. A total of four different fabrics deal quickly with sweat and offer comfort across a wide temperature range. UV protection across the back makes this jersey great for a long summer ride too. Be it a sunrise-to-sunset ride or a shorter more intense training session, aerodynamic fabrics mean more speed for the same effort levels. Across the shoulders and sleeves, aero fabric as found on pro-level race jerseys give a smooth and comfortable fit that deals quickly with sweat too. Raw-cut sleeve ends also offer comfort and an unrestricted fit. Storage comes by the way of Castelli’s drop pocket design. This puts the pockets in an easy-to-access position and minimises sagging when fully loaded. A fourth zipped pocket makes space for valuables too. A silicone gripper at the waist keeps your jersey firmly in place too.
