The Thermoflex 2 arm warmers are made with Thermoflex, a soft fleece-backed material that does a great job of keeping in warmth on a chilly day. The arm warmers are also UV protective so will also keep the sun off as the day warms, highly breathable to prevent sweat build-up and they're lightweight too, so easy to stash in a jersey pocket when not needed. Castelli have kept seams to a minimum to prevent irritation and their double-sided silicone elastic grippers keep them firmly in place. A brilliantly useful accessory for any cyclist. Note: The Castelli Thermoflex 2 Arm Warmers come as a pair.
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.
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.

A cold winter ride needs a great base layer, and they don’t come much warmer, or more comfortable, than the Castelli Flanders 2 Women's Warm Long Sleeve Base Layer. The high-loft, SottoZero Fleece, provides excellent insulation and draws sweat away from the skin, while extra ventilation mesh-zones around the armpits, keep you feeling fresh (so if you stop for a coffee or, freewheel a rapid descent, you won't feel cold and damp). It's stretchy for a perfect fit and, the flat-lock seams are not only smooth and comfortable against the skin, but the flat hem also works brilliantly with tights.
