Even with an electric fan on full blast, the efforts of a tough training session on the turbo trainer will soon have you building a sweat. This is why the Insider Shorts have been designed to be as light as possible and to be as breathable as possible, with no superfluous details needed. Castelli makes use of lightweight 195 g/m² Lycra® for the body. This keeps bulk down, flexibility up and with the excellent breathability needed to deal with your efforts. There are also mesh side panels, allowing for the cooling effect of extra airflow to come into play. The raw-cut leg endings continue the minimalist theme, offering a smooth and comfortable fit without excess bulk. Inside the shorts, the Progetto X² Air Skin seat pad is ideally suited to indoor training, with excellent moisture control and a super-soft next to skin layer.
For the new version of the Toe Thingy, Castelli have thought carefully about how to offer better protection to your precious and stylish footwear. As a result, the second iteration is that little bit longer to guard more of the foot, and it can be worn either on its own or between your shoe and shoe cover. The Toe Thingy 2 is designed to be practical and durable too. On the underside you’ll find a combination of a rugged sole with silicone prints, which makes it resistant to abrasions and provide improved grip. There’s also a hole for your cleats, so they won’t get in the way of your pedals either. Castelli really have thought of everything with this one.
Thanks to the use of 3D closed mesh fabric, the Pro Mesh BL Short Sleeve Base Layer is quick to remove excess sweat from your skin, ensuring your body is kept dry and at a stable temperature. At the same time, this also means you don't get cold, clammy and uncomfortable from excess sweat build-up, even when the pace slows, or you pull over for a well-earned coffee. Even in cold conditions, it can be deployed below a winter-weight base layer to boost sweat-wicking to avoid the dreaded chill from too much moisture build-up. Pro by name and pro by nature, it's an essential addition to any dedicated cyclist's wardrobe.
It's the material that Castelli uses for their Unlimited Trail Baggy Shorts that makes them so suited to your off-road cycling adventures. Pull them on and you'll notice how light and flexible the fabric is. At just 165 grams per square meter, and including the stretch of elastane, the fabric gives you baggy cycling shorts that deliver unrivalled pedalling comfort and the easy movement needed for hitting trails. They may be light, but they're also tough thanks to Cordura® yarns used in the fabric. A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish means light rain and muddy puddles won't soak in and the shorts are quick-drying too - ideal or changeable riding conditions. If the sun is out and you're feeling hot, zippered ventilation openings that run the full length of the legs allow cool air to flow. Castelli cut the shorts with a loose fit, again to aid in easy movement, yet the adjustable webbing waist belt ensures there's no annoying slippage when riding.
Made from a super-breathable mesh material, the Trail Liner waist shorts bring you a brilliant balance of moisture management and temperature control when on your bike. The mesh means sweat can evaporate easily while airflow keeps you cool too. And not just that, the material wicks away moisture and dries quickly, maintaining a fresh feel as the kilometres speed by. At the end of the legs, Castelli’s tried, and trusted GIRO⁴ leg grippers keep the shorts in place. A raw edge and vertical silicone stripes offer a firm hold without excess compression. And then there’s the premium Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad, offering perfect comfort for anything from short local mountain bike rides to multi-day gravel bike adventures. Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad The Kiss Air 2 Seat Pad aims to incorporate as many of the features and comfort as the top-of-the-line Progetto x2 seat pad but at a more affordable price. 1. Seamless skin care layer: A super-soft, brushed microfibre top that maximizes comfort and fit. Seamlessly engineered to eliminate chafing and abrasion. Flexible to move with you. Bacteriostatic treatment to avoid saddle sores and infection. 2. Continuously variable thickness: Dual density and infinitely variable thickness give you the perfect cushioning for every part of the pad. Maximum thickness and density in the ischial zone, tapering to moderate thickness in the perineum, and minimum thickness at the perimeter. 3. Anatomic shape: Comfort is further enhanced by creating a perfect interface to your body during every pedal stroke.
The Castelli ‘Fast Feet’ project, using both CFD analysis and wind tunnel testing, has resulted in the slippery performance of the Fast Feet 2 TT Shoe Covers. These overshoes slip snugly over your cycling shoes to reduce drag and improve efficiency. The covers utilise a two-part design. The lower section is a smooth silicone to produce a streamlined profile across the foot. The tall upper portion uses slim grooves to help detach airflow over the leg to decrease drag. The two surfaces work together to make these the ultimate choice when you want to gain vital time on rivals, particularly in time trials but they're also great in road races too.

Pro cyclists ride and race in a wide range of conditions. And so do you. This is why the Pro Mesh 2.0 Short Sleeve Base Layer exists. Designed to work across a wide range of conditions, it keeps you comfortable via its ability to draw sweat off your skin extremely rapidly. Consequently, you’ll remain drier and your body temperature more balanced across all types of weather conditions and during rides of wildly varying intensities. Whether worn under a summer cycling jersey or as an extra wicking layer under a winter base layer, the low weight ensures it’s barely noticeable. However, Castelli still gives it a sublimated graphic so the colour pops when you unzip your jersey.
If you love nothing more than discovering new roads and trails to ride, and the sense of adventure as new vistas open up, the Unlimited Cargo Bib Shorts are for you. It matters not whether you’re out for a few hours, all day or even multiple day trips, the extra pockets are super-useful to have. You have a total of four pockets to load up with extra kit. Cargo pockets on each thigh and mesh pockets across the back. The thigh pockets expand to hold lots of gear but compress to prevent bouncing around.
