Castelli can officially only rate UPF 50+ Light Arm Skins at UPF 50+, but in their laboratory tests, they actually blocked 99.8 per cent of damaging UV rays. Using a polyester base they found this it is not only more effective than nylon at blocking UV rays but is also much better at keeping you dry, which means these skins are better in both cooler and warmer conditions. Castelli have kept the construction very clean to eliminate seams that can rub, and used double-sided silicone elastic to make sure they stay in place. They fold up extremely small, so they’re great to stick in your pockets for your next big mountain day.
Most warmers available are made from a nylon/elastane material and they tend to hold onto moisture, meaning they may be warm to start but they'll soon have you feeling chilly and damp when you get going. However, the Pro Seamless Knee Warmers use a polyester yarn, far better for dealing with sweat build-up while still maintaining excellent warmth. Just what you need for cool weather, hard training and intense racing. Thanks to the low weight, high stretch and seamless construction you'll barely notice them either. If the day warms up they'll fold up small and easy fit in a cycling jersey pocket.

With their Pro Seamless Arm Warmers, Castelli have started from scratch to create a better product. Other brands tend to use a simple nylon/lycra blend that holds moisture. Not good. Instead, Castelli have turned to Polyester to improve moisture management - it's harder to get right in terms of stretch, return and manufacturing consistency, but the benefits paid off in the end. The Pro Seamless will surprise you with how light they are and yet they're surprisingly warm too. Even as the weather turns mild, excellent moisture management prevents you from overheating. A high degree of stretch makes them brilliantly comfortable and when you take them off to stash in a pocket they take up a fraction of the space of normal warmers.
Rather than get too complicated, Castelli have focused on just the essentials you need in a lightweight rain jacket. Made from Deluge Light 2.5-layer waterproof fabric, the Emergency Rain Jacket achieves a 10,000mm waterproof rating. A waterproof front zipper and sealed seams also keep water ingress and seepage at bay. An extended tail prevents a soaking from rear wheel spray and the long sleeves provide a smooth fit and one that works well with gloves. The only real compromise is it's not quite as breathable as more expensive jackets in the Castelli line. To prevent you from wasting energy and to stop excess flapping material when cycling, Castelli have tailored the jacket with a snug fit. But with some slight stretch in the fabric, you’ll still be able to move easily and it will fit over a winter thermal jersey or jacket too. If and when the rain passes then it folds up into an integrated stuff pocket, making it easy to pop in a jersey pocket.
The Graffiti Cycling Armwarmers are a cycling accessory that prove their worth year-round. Thanks to the use of insulating Thermoflex fabric, they're ideally suited to wear on an early summer morning start or to take off the bite of cooler spring and autumn temperatures. The anatomic cut ensures they fit comfortably when you're in a riding position. And with silicone grippers, they hold tight under your jersey sleeves.
When temperatures rise during the height of summer the Castelli Summer headband helps keep sweat away from the eyes and preventing that familiar sting as you ride.

The 'Ultimate Run' sports bra from Shock Absorber is crafted from a soft, moisture-wicking fabric with a seam-free lining offering maximum comfort. Great for indoor and outdoor running, this performance bra features reflective tape trims for improved visibility and has wide, non-slip straps for added support. Tips for the perfect fit Getting the right bra is important for a top workout. If in doubt we recommend that you get professionally fitted as a staggering 80% of women are wearing the wrong-sized bra. To ensure your sports bra gives you the best support possible while training, keep in mind the following: The Underband: The band around the chest should be level front and back. It needs to be comfortable but firm. A good gauge to ensure the underband fits well is if you can fit the width of two fingers between the underband and skin. Any more space means the band is too big and could cause friction. The Cup Size: This should contain the whole of the breast. There should be no bulging over the top or on the side and should just have minimal cleavage on show. Shoulder Straps: The straps should be adjusted to fit securely on the shoulders with only a one-inch give. Adjust the straps where possible to ensure a secure but comfortable fit they shouldn’t be too tight. Do The Bounce Test: Jump up and down, is the bra supportive? Need more help?
