Castelli Special Collection As we look forward to cooler temperatures and less predictable weather, it's time to delve into the Castelli special collection of winter cycling kit. With a focus on performance and style, these pieces give you warmth and comfort alongside exclusive designs that stand out amongst the rest. Winning Winter Warmth The Women's Hollywood Long Sleeve Cycling Jersey benefits from the use of Castelli's super-cosy Warmer fabric. The soft fleecy interior is incredibly comfortable and retains body heat for all-ride warmth. It also has great moisture control, preventing clamminess as you dig deep and put in some harder efforts. And if you do find yourself overheating, a smooth-sliding full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper makes ventilation control easy. As you'd expect of a Castelli, all the details are perfectly in place too. To the back of the jersey, the 3 dropped pockets offer ample space for all your cool-weather cycling essentials, from multi-tool to spare tube to an emergency rain jacket or gilet. Reflective trim keeps you visible as daylight fades and gripper elastic at the waist keeps the fit smooth. For cycling in cooler weather, this is a jersey you can trust, and in the coldest of conditions, it makes a brilliant mid-layer insulator too.
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 key to the cool-weather performance of the Pro Thermal Mid Long Sleeve Jersey is in its use of mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric. It’s still got a fleece inner face for warmth, but Castelli have lightened it up a bit to make sure you don’t overheat when injecting some pace. Excellent breathability also allows sweat to escape. And with more stretch, thanks to extra elastane, and a race fit, it allows for a speed-focused streamlined fit while not feeling too tight. As a pro-performance garment, Castelli have kept details functional and focused. The YKK® Vislon® zipper slides easily, letting you boost airflow as and when needed. The drop-pocket construction allows you to load up and yet the jersey remains in a secure and stable position. There’s also a reflective stripe on the centre pocket, enhancing visibility after dark.
The classic thermal jersey, the Puro 3 is a fuss-free and no-nonsense design that works just how you want it to work. The Warmer fabric insulates and traps body heat so will take off a chill on a cold autumn day, but at the same time with a degree of air-permeability and excellent breathability, you'll find you don't overheat even as conditions warm up. For darker mornings and evenings, the added reflective panels ensure you'll be visible to other road users, while a high-quality YKK® Vislon® zipper gives you easy control of extra ventilation. Otherwise, it’s a no-nonsense functional garment aimed at comfort and warmth while making you look good on the bike.
A thermal jersey such as the Women's Sinergia Long Sleeve Jersey is great in autumn and spring, with extra warmth easily added with a vest and great as a mid-layer insulator under a jacket in extreme cold. For this reason, Castelli ensures it's not too bulky or complicated, the Warmer fabric trapping enough warmth but still letting your body breathe. It also has all the essential features you'd expect, such as a refined fit, perfect pockets for a long ride, and a lightweight easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper. When you do wear it on its own, the small inserts in the chest and above the pockets give it an extra visual touch, and they happen to be reflective should you extend your ride to evening.
Whether worn on its own or combined with a gilet, the Women's Volare Long Sleeve Jersey provides protection against cooler temperatures. Made from Castelli’s cosiest Warmer fabric, it does a brilliant job of locking in the heat you generate when cycling. However, with quick-wicking performance, a stiff headwind or steep climb shouldn’t leave you drenched in sweat either. Beyond the eye-catching print, the attention to detail is, as you’d expect of a Castelli garment, excellent. The YKK® Vislon® zipper is easy to open and close, with a protective tab at the top for comfort. The pockets to the back are perfectly positioned for access thanks to the dropped design and a silicone elastic gripper keeps your jersey snugly in place.
The Passista Long Sleeve Jersey is made for cooler days of cycling, where you don’t need a heavier-weight winter jacket but it’s still too cool for a short sleeve jersey and arm-warmers. In order to keep in body heat, Castelli have used their cosy Warmer fabric on the body and sleeves. The fleece inner traps warmth brilliantly but it still lets some airflow though to prevent you from overheating. Meanwhile, the sides use Warmer X-Stretch. This ensures your jersey has a nice snug fit for efficient pedalling, while still offering flexibility. Practical features also make this jacket a winner. The easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper makes it easy to control ventilation and thus regulate your temperature. Gripper elastic at the waist keeps the fit secure and the 3 rear pockets are there for all your cycling essentials.
A cold winter ride needs a great base layer, and they don’t come much warmer, or more comfortable, than the Castelli Flanders 2 Women's Warm Long Sleeve Base Layer. The high-loft, SottoZero Fleece, provides excellent insulation and draws sweat away from the skin, while extra ventilation mesh-zones around the armpits, keep you feeling fresh (so if you stop for a coffee or, freewheel a rapid descent, you won't feel cold and damp). It's stretchy for a perfect fit and, the flat-lock seams are not only smooth and comfortable against the skin, but the flat hem also works brilliantly with tights.
