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.
Taking the all-over protection of the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket and adding zip off sleeves, the Perfetto ROS 2 Convertible Jacket is Castelli’s most versatile cycling jacket yet. However, rather than converting to a vest, the sleeves zip off just above the elbows, becoming effectively identical to a Gabba. Weather Protection. No Matter What. Whether worn long or short, the ROS Convertible offers effective all-over windproof and water-repellent protection via two types of Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®. More protective to the front and more breathable to the rear, it offers versatile protection for whatever the day has in store. With different base layers underneath, you can cover everything from mild conditions to cold days, whether sunny or wet, living up to its ROS (Rain or Shine) moniker. Performance Features When you’re picking up the pace, the zippered ventilation to the sides of the chest comes in most handy. A two-way YKK® Vislon® zipper also lets you control airflow with ease. Taped shoulders prevent water ingress in an area that faces the brunt of the weather. 3 rear pockets also make space for essentials and a place to stash sleeves mid-ride. And for rides that stretch deep into the dark of evening, reflective details keep you visible.
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.
Wet weather doesn’t always mean cold temperatures, particularly come late spring and summer. This is why Castelli have created the lightweight and waterproof Pioggerella Overshoes. The construction is of a waterproof PU-coated stretch fabric and features a silicone bead at the top of the ankle to minimise water ingress. A waterproof zipper also enhances wet-weather performance and the stretch fit and wrapped cuff offers a close and aero fit. From a springtime road race to a summer rain shower the Piogerella Overshoes keep your feet comfortably dry when spinning the pedals.
The Women's Primavera Jersey is made from 3 highly functional performance fabrics, tailored to a design with a slightly more forgiving fit than Castelli’s pure race jerseys. This gives you a jersey that offers superb comfort on the bike, and one suited to those of us who welcome a touch more space to move. However, don’t fear, Castelli has included features with an eye on smooth aero performance too. Fast or steady, it’s a jersey ideally suited to all your riding. The main body makes use of Castelli's ProSecco Micromesh, a quick-wicking and highly breathable fabric to keep you dry and comfortable as the heat rises. Mesh side panels ensure that you get the perfect level of ventilation too. Meanwhile, Velocity Rev2 fabric is used for the sleeves, offering a smooth aero fit. And lastly, raw cut edges to the sleeves complete this stylish jersey and give it a sleek and modern finish. Whatever your cycling ambitions this summer, the Primavera Jersey is ideal for notching up the miles, whether that's a gentle spin to your favourite cafe or taking on a challenging sportive.
When the temperature is starting to cool and cold winds blow, the Intenso UL Overshoes are there to stop the bite of those colder temperatures from causing discomfort. Warmth is kept firmly inside thanks to the Infinium Windstopper and it’s water-resistant too so can fend off light rain or spray from a damp road. For those of you who ride a bit of everything, you’ll find the strap closure allows compatibility with road or MTB shoes. And with a neoprene back panel, they fit snuggly and securely while allowing unrestricted pedalling.
Created to provide reliable protection in most conditions, apart from the very heaviest of rain, the ROS 2 Overshoes use a Polartec® Power Stretch® fleece lined front to keep cold winds out. To the sides, 3-layer fleece-backed waterproof panels resist drizzle and spray from damp roads. A YKK® water-resistant zipper makes them easy to pull on and off while not compromising the protection levels. And for low-light cycling, the reflective heel tab gives greater visibility to other road users.
Once you’ve got cold and wet feet it’s hard to concentrate and enjoy your ride. The Castelli Diluvio UL Overshoes work to ensure it never gets to that stage. The premium 3mm neoprene construction makes for a brilliant insulator against the cold and it keeps rain out too. At the upper cuff, the ‘skin-out’ seal slows down water seepage while fully taped seams also prevent water from creeping inside. The high stretch of the neoprene also gives the overshoes a sleek and streamlined fit over your cycling shoes. A hook and loop closure underneath make these compatible with almost any road, gravel of MTB shoe too.
Thanks to GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ X-Fast fabric the Women's Dinamica Overshoes keep bitterly cold winds completely shut out, but excellent breathability ensures you'll not get clammy feet. On the inner face, you'll find soft and cosy fleece, giving a boost to insulation so even as temperatures fall into single figures and head towards zero, your feet are kept warm. With a silicone cuff at the top to seal out water and a waterproof YKK® AquaGuard® zipper, you'll also be protected from cold rain showers and road spray.
MADE TO RACE Typically, our women's garments are designed from the ground up for women.However, the Free Aero 3 W Bibshort is designed from the ground up for racing. That specific goal leads us to a somewhat minimalist construction, but one that is made for aerodynamics and also comfort, since racing requires long hours in the saddle, both in training and on race day, resulting in one of our most comfortable shorts as well. The 2019 Free Aero 3 W Bibshort represents a significant evolution from last year's model, our best-selling short ever. There's a new leg gripper that still features a lie-flat raw-cut edge but now has vertical silicone stripes to keep it in place without restricting stretch. The new fabric allows for better print quality for your custom team production, the same as Team Sky will use in 2019. We've updated the seams to improve the fit and make the short look even better on the body. We've re-engineered the bib straps with new fabrics and construction so they stay cooler, lie flatter and are more durable. The new Free Aero 3 W Bibshort also receives the updated Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad featuring the softest surface fabric you've ever felt in a seat pad. Features: Vortex dimpled fabric on legs for aero performance Forza fabric on inner legs with 38% Lycra® content for perfect fit Stripe mesh engineered lie-flat bib strap construction keeps you cool Giro4 leg gripper elastic for better grip distributed over larger area Doppio V construction in front for increased comfort Flat-lock stitching Progetto X2 Air Seamless Donna women's-specific seat pad Weight:156g
