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.
