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. Ready for Winter While it may not have the rain and splash protection of Castelli's pricier models, the Women's Explore Velocissimo Bib Tights certainly cut no corners when it comes to keeping you warm on a cold, dry day of bike riding. The luxuriously soft and flexible Thermoflex fabric is fleece-lined, giving you instant feelings of warmth and comfort. At the same time, it's also breathable, letting sweat escape during harder efforts of headwinds and hill climbs. The flexibility and Castelli's tailoring expertise combine, allowing you the total freedom of movement needed for smooth and powerful pedalling. To the upper body, the mesh bib straps prioritise breathability, allowing both your skin to breathe and for air to flow to the body to speed moisture evaporation. The wide cut of the straps at the bust also offer a more comfortable fit. Meanwhile, at the ankles, Camlock® zips allow for easier dressing and undressing. And with reflective details to catch the eye after dark, you'll be easier to spot during your evening training sessions. KISS Air2 Donna Seat Pad When it comes to comfortable two-wheeled exploration, it's hard to better the support and comfort offered by the KISS Air2 Donna seat pad. This female-specific pad takes its cues from the top-of-the-line Progetto X2 seat pad but at a more affordable price. A seamless and super soft, brushed microfibre top maximizes comfort and fit. It's flexible to move with you and a bacteriostatic treatment helps stop saddle sores and infection. Dual-density and infinitely variable thickness foam 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.
Simple but effective, the thermal Women's Velocissima Thermal 3/4 Waist Tights (Knickers) are ideally suited to the transitional seasons of the year. Made from Castelli’s Thermoflex fabric, the soft, brushed inner face traps warmth. It’s breathable too, so even more intense efforts and a rise in temperatures won’t leave you soaked in sweat. At the waist, the lie-flat construction offers a smooth and comfortable fit, letting you adapt to your riding position with ease. And at the calves, the smooth gripper keeps your tights in place. Reflective details also keep you more visible when riding before the sun rises or as it sets.
