The top rated winter jacket, bringing warmth, breathability and a high level of rain protection along with a soft, comfortable fit. his jacket leads the way in demonstrating how a winter jacket should perform. Rain or Shine engineering makes this our best jacket ever for dry conditions while also providing significant rain protection GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 fabric for wind protection with high breathability and effective rain protection Reduced seaming with seam sealing on shoulders reduces chances for water to enter through stitching Double-layer Alpha construction separates insulating layer from wind/water barrier to let you better regulate ventilation Water-resistant YKK® Vislon® zipper slides easily for better regulation of airflow Raw-edge waist with silicone gripper lies flat and seals out wind Double-layer cuff integrates with glove to prevent cold wind or water from entering at wrist Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for excellent close-to-body fit that still accommodates a wide range of body types Back ventilation 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes Zippered secure side pocket for valuables. Cyclingnews.com says this jacket is sets an all-new benchmark in what a winter cycling jacket can achieve and it's exactly what we think the perfect winter jacket should be. We started with a list of things we didn't like about the current jackets and set out to solve them—and in the process made our best jacket ever. The first issue to resolve related to moisture management. Even the best of the currently available fabrics provide a good level of breathability but can't keep up with the sweat generated during high-intensity riding. So we invented a double-layer construction that allows you to open an outer wind-protection layer while keeping the insulation layer closed and thereby allowing airflow inside the jacket to evacuate moisture while avoiding direct contact with the skin. On a long climb we'll completely open the outer layer to allow moisture to escape, and when we start the descent we close the outer layer and are completely dry inside. It works so well that sometimes it feels like magic. New for this year is a softer, warmer 3D insulation-layer fabric that provides better warmth, moisture management and fit. Next we focused on the openings: neck, waist and, most of all, wrists. The neck comes up high and is shaped to move with you, whether you're standing or in an aero position being a January hero and attacking your mates. For the waist we've created a stretch layer with a silicone bead that lies flat and completely seals out wind without bunching or riding up. New for this year is a brand-new double-layer wrist opening with an inner layer to go under your glove that seals tight to your wrist, and an outer layer that goes over your glove so that any rain will roll down the outside of the glove and not end up inside. Of course, the ultimate jacket will also hold up well in wet conditions, so we used GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric along with waterproof seam taping on critical seams around the shoulder. Other seams are hidden out of direct water flow, and the water-repellent treatment on the fabric is sufficient to prevent most moisture from entering. We call it essentially waterproof, using our own subjective judgment to find a balance between water protection, breathability and comfort. It doesn't mean that no drop will ever come in, but we do longish rides in real rain and stay completely dry. All these features make it a favorite of our staff and most of our ambassadors, and the most versatile performance jacket for cold-weather training we've ever created.

The long-sleeve Gabba is one of our most versatile pieces. 100% wind protection with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® water protection and best-in-class breathability. With a light base layer it's good for mild temperatures, or with a thermal layer you can ride it below freezing. If you have just one jacket in your cycling wardrobe, this should be it. Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfaces GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathability Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection Zippered ventilation opening on side of chest 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets The Perfetto RoS 2 is the one jacket that does everything well. If you look carefully, the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is essentially a long-sleeve version of the Gabba RoS 2. So it's just a warmer Gabba? Not really. The full sleeves fully turn it into a jacket, but one that covers a wide range of conditions. Like the Gabba, the RoS insignia signifies that it excels in dry conditions thanks to the high breathability, as well as in wet conditions thanks to the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. There's a light fleece-lined water-resistant version on the forward-facing surfaces and a lighter and stretchier fabric on the back that maximizes the breathability while providing excellent water repellency. The Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket keeps all the cold wind out while being much more breathable than the typical polyurethane membranes used on most jackets that try to compete with the Perfetto. When you stay drier, you don't need as many layers underneath. The beauty of this jacket is that it doesn't have any insulation on its own, so a thin base layer is just right for mild conditions, while adding an insulating layer (a thermal jersey or Castelli's Alpha 2nd Layer) will take you to cold temperatures. You decide. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets hold more gear. While the Perfetto remains decidedly a performance fit, the new model has a touch more room through the chest, shoulder, and biceps. This is the one jacket that belongs in every cyclist's quiver.

Gravel riding is often slower than road riding but with higher intensity efforts, so breathability is paramount. The Castelli Unlimited Thermal Jersey keeps this in mind with a combination of fabrics that will keep your core warm whilst providing plenty of ventilation, so you stay dry and comfortable for longer. The body and sleeves of the jersey use the brushed fleece Castelli Warmer Fabric that provides insulation whilst letting just the right amount of air through for ventilation that doesnt compromise warmth. The side panels use Castelli Warmer X-Stretch fabric to create a perfect fit and a jersey that will move with you. Functionality is the aim of the game with the Unlimited Thermal Jersey with 3 rear pockets, an easy-sliding YKK Vislon zipper and gripper elastic at the waist to hold the jersey in place. Pair this jersey with a Perfetto RoS Vest or Aria Vest for cooler conditions. Key Features Castelli Warmer fabric on body and sleeves Castelli Warmer X-Stretch fabric on sides panels Gripper elastic at waist 3 rear pockets Easy-sliding YKK Vislonzipper with neck protector 12 18C / 54 64F Weight: 239g (M)
When Castelli engineered the first aero jersey for road racing back in 2006, everyone thought we were crazy. Back then, aero was only for TTs. Performance clothing meant moisture management. And you could win the Tour de France with a baggy jersey that was little more than a polyester T-shirt. Even our aerodynamic consultants expected limited gains, so we named the jersey Split Second, though, like now, we thought even small gains were worth pursuing. In the end the gains were pretty substantial, and we completely revolutionized the look of the pro peloton. We're now on the sixth major revision of our aero jersey. Each generation has become more aero and better fitting. The Aero Race 6.0 benefits heavily from CFD analysis of wake flow in the riding position for fabric and seam placement. It also benefits from pro riders' feedback, as we've worked to make the jersey comfortable for their long hours of training and then racing in every possible weather condition. CFD-based fabric placement and seam construction Engineered for aero efficiency at 30 to 55 km/h Airflow shoulder construction Velocity Rev2 fabric on front and sleeve 3D mesh back for breathability Elbow-length stretch sleeves with raw-cut edge YKK® Vislon® zipper Drop tail allows perfect pocket placement while keeping jersey fitting well at waist 18-35°C / 64-95°F Weight: 109 g
Made to be the perfect vest. GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® wind and water protection on the front, and a breathable nanotechnology water-repellent back. Stretch fit, and packable into half a pocket when not needed. This is a core piece of your cycling wardrobe.Best race or training vest with windproof front and breathable rain-repelling back GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch lightweight fabric on front Nano Flex Light Woven on back for breathable stretch with good water protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy ventilation adjustment on the fly 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets and around armholes. The Perfetto RoS 2 Vest is our attempt at the perfect vest. It's warm and windproof yet breathable thanks to the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric on the front and the membrane-free Nano Flex stretch woven back fabric. It's splash resistant for wet roads or changing conditions. It's light and packable, easily fitting in a jersey pocket with room to spare. It has three rear pockets of its own and a two-way YKK® Vislon® zipper you can open from the bottom to access gear in your jersey pockets. It has 360° reflectivity thanks to the reflective trim on the armholes and reflective band below the pockets. It fits close to body with a high collar that feels oh-so-comfy for cooler conditions.
A favorite piece among our sponsored pros, this jersey is a bit lighter and a bit stretchier and features a closer cut for an aero fit. Mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric Ideal for cool conditions, with or without a vest Race cut with highly elastic fabric provides close-to-body fit without feeling tight Drop-pocket construction for better fit around waist and better pocket position Easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper Embossed line across chest Reflective vertical stripe on center pocket. Ideal for cool days when you still want a short-sleeve jersey but need something a little warmer to take the chill off. The fabric is lightly brushed on the inside, and the bit of elastane gives a perfect stretch fit. We'll also use this jersey with arm warmers and a vest on cooler days — either an Aria Vest that will go in a pocket once the air warms up, or a Perfetto Vest for a day that will stay cool. This jersey gives that extra level of comfort underneath. As a piece designed for the pros, it stays wonderfully minimalist: three rear pockets, easy-sliding YKK® zipper, sleeves cut to just above the elbows. But we've added a reflective stripe to help keep you visible.

The Unlimited version of the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is simply a graphic treatment making it look more at home on any surface but not sacrificing any of the performance. When we think about what we want in a gravel jacket, we keep coming back to the Perfetto, since it really is perfect for so many conditions. We just want it to look different. The Perfetto RoS 2 excels in dry conditions thanks to the high breathability, as well as in wet conditions thanks to the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics.
