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. Motivation Booster Motivation to ride can be hard to muster when the weather is bitterly cold and windy. However, the Graffiti Windstopper Cycling Jacket ensures you'll have an extra impetus to get out and ride. Thanks to the GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® X-Fast cold winds are kept out and the heat you generate is retained inside. Cosiness is guaranteed. However, when the time comes to inject some extra effort, maybe a tough climb or stiff headwind, the excellent breathability prevents you from being drenched in sweat. INFINIUM™ is also lightly water-resistant, letting you ride through drizzle and light rain showers without having to immediately reach for your hardshell rain jacket. Streamlined Cycling The stretch fit and anatomical form-cut of the Grafitti jacket ensure a smooth fit when you're cycling. This saves your precious energy for those last few miles of a winter base-building ride (and hopefully lets you avoid the dreaded bonk). Talking of energy, the three rear pockets let you load up with nutrition for your training hours on the saddle as well as making space for your rain jacket should storm clouds burst. The high collar provides a snug fit for maximum protection from the elements. When you're facing a day of cycling in colder temperatures and the bite of windchill, this cosy Windstopper Cycling Jacket provides a boost to your motivation to get out and ride. And with its alluring print, it's an attention grabber on a dull winter's day too.
Perfection simplified...And windproof The Meno products offer a minimalist design that offers superb function. This wind-protecting bib tight is singularly focused on keeping you warm and comfortable in cold conditions. AirFlex Thermo fabric is the stretchiest windproof fabric Castelli have ever made and allows this tight to fit great. It’s ideal for conditions from 8°C/40°F and down ... as low as you’re willing to ride. Anatomical cut The seams are placed closer to the back for extra warmth, but still Castelli manage to provide an anatomical cut that fits just right when riding. The seams are flat for extra comfort, and the zippered ankles get some reflective taping for added visibility on the bib tights. The Meno products personify Castelli's pursuit of 'perfection simplified'. KissAir Seat Pad The new improved Kiss Air 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 gives 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.
Castelli Special Editions Offering something just a little bit different from what you can find elsewhere, the Castelli Special Editions are a great way to bring some zing to your bike ride. The usual quality, fit and attention to detail are all there, combined with a mix of bright colours if you love to stand out or some more subtle designs for a timeless look. Windproof Winner Whether it's an early morning ride during summer or an exhilarating Alpine descent, the Velocissimo Pro Light Wind Vest is just right to pull on to keep off a chill. The woven front has a low level of air permeability, keeping your core protected from windchill. Despite the excellent wind protection, there's no sacrifice of breathability. A mesh back lets sweat evaporate away easily so you remain dry and comfortable even if the pace hots up. And should you need extra ventilation, the YKK® Vislon® zipper makes it easy to regulate airflow to your body.
Castelli’s Perfetto ROS 2 Wind Jersey came about because of a pro-rider request. They wanted a Gabba for racing, but that garment often proved too hot when the pace increased. And so the lighter and more breathable Perfetto Light was created – and with some key improvements, it’s now the Perfetto ROS 2 Wind Jersey. Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch is used across the front and sleeves, protecting you from the chilling effects of cool winds. Meanwhile, across the back, Nano Flex Light Woven offers a snug fit alongside superb breathability and lightweight water repellence. Together they deliver reliable wind protection and the water-repellency to protect against light rain and damp roads. This versatile construction lets you wear it like a traditional gilet over a summer jersey, just with sleeves. Or pair it with a lightweight base layer and arm warmers and it’s a lightweight windproof cycling jersey on its own. Castelli have improved the front zipper – it’s now a smooth running two-way YKK® Vislon® zipper, allowing you to control ventilation from the top and bottom. The reflectivity is also now more visible, and the three rear pockets offer plenty of space for your essentials.
The Women’s Perfetto ROS 2 Vest could well be the perfect cycling gilet. When it comes to keeping you comfortable in ever-changing weather, it’s hard to beat. The Gore-tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® front shields you from the twin threats of cold wind and light rain. Meanwhile, the membrane-free Nano Flex stretch woven back uses nanotechnology to fend off tyre spray while still remaining highly breathable, preventing sweat from causing discomfort. While offering excellent weather protection, it’s not going to weigh you down, in fact, it’s light and packable enough to pop in a jersey pocket. A two-way zipper keeps you in control of ventilation while offering easy access to your jersey pockets too. 3 rear pockets also make it practical to leave on for your whole ride. With its performance fit the Perfetto vest keeps you streamlined while a high collar is incredibly comfortable too.
