Castelli Aria Shell JacketLightweight, breathable, windproof and streamlined, the Castelli Aria Shell Jacket means you can ditch your old flappy cycling jacket and enjoy modern cycling performance, just like the rest of your Castelli kit.The Aria Shell Jacket is all about bringing the classic windproof jacket right up to date. This high-performance windproof matches the rest of your highly functional cycling kit. Gone are the oversize fit and flappy, poor breathing fabrics. In its place are an ultralight windproof woven microfiber front and mesh side panels. These work in harmony to keep out cold winds but offer extremely good breathability too. No cold air can slip inside and yet any sweat you build-up can escape, the result being a perfect temperature when riding. The fit is a revelation compared to jackets of old too. The stretch panels to the sides and back of the sleeves give it a second-skin fit more akin to a race jersey. Less fabric to catch the wind, less drag, more efficient cycling. A win all-round. In cool to mild conditions, you can keep it on all ride, but if the day warms up it's easily folded up to stuff in your jersey pocket. This is definitely not your old-style wind jacket. Features:Materials: 100% PolyamideUltralight windproof woven microfiber frontStriped mesh fabric at sides and sleeve back is stretchy to avoid fabric flapping in the windFolds up extremely smallRear pocketYKK® Vislon® zipperReflective pipingWeight: 82gSuggested temperature range: 10 to 18 Degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Castelli Emergency Rain JacketFrom intermittent showers to more prolonged bouts of rain, when you're on the bike, the Castelli Emergency Rain Jacket ensures you always have compact wet-weather protection to hand.Castelli have kept it simple with their Emergency Rain Jacket.

Castelli Free Aero RC Bib ShortsFirst launched 15 years ago, and worn to countless victories, the Free shorts are legendary for their comfort. The Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts build on this heritage, making them the best racing shorts Castelli have ever made. You don't have to be a pro rider to enjoy the benefits the Free Aero RC Bib Shorts offer. Whether riding for an hour or riding all day, the smooth, compressive support, premium seat pad and outstanding flexibility all offer unrivalled comfort. Less is MoreCastelli have deconstructed their previous Free shorts and started from scratch to deliver a more minimalist, but highly comfortable race short. Compared to previous iterations, there are fewer panels, now just 5 compared to 10. In combination with Castelli's high-stretch and compressive Forza 2 fabric, this gives a wonderful sense of freedom throughout your pedal stroke. Moving to the ends of the legs, this sees yet more minimalism. Instead of the usual elastic or silicone grippers, you'll find just smooth, raw cut edges. No more irritation when you're getting sweaty. After 28 prototypes and extensive material testing, Castelli have found the sweet spot, with shorts that remain in place but don't irritate or compress too much. Bib Straps When it comes to the upper body, again Castelli have sought to minimise the construction, removing bulk, boosting comfort and improving airflow.Open-weave bib straps let air in while also letting moisture evaporate away quickly. To the back, a reinforcing yoke ensures your straps remain flat and in place, while the mesh back is kept narrow, again to improve airflow to the body and prevent overheating. At the lower back, the bib forms a convenient storage pocket too. Progetto X² Air Seat PadThe top-end Progetto X2 Air Seatpad is now better than ever. Castelli has improved the shape of the back and improved the method of stitching it in place. The result is it now sits flatter and offers greater comfort. The X2 retains its awesome ventilating perforations, keeping you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. A 3 layer component construction also features two densities of foam plus gel pads to provide progressive damping. A super-soft and stretchy next-to-skin layer, with an antibacterial finish, completes this premium pad. Features:Materials: 68% Polyamide, 32% ElastaneMesh: 77% Polyamide, 23% ElastaneHigh-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compressionProgetto X² Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfortMinimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shouldersRear mesh pocket5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafingStitched scorpion logo patch and embossed Castelli wordmark for durabilityReflective piping on back of legsRaw-cut edge at waist for extra stretch and comfortRaw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without siliconegrippersSuggested Temperature range: 15 to 35 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Castelli Unlimited Trail Baggy ShortsHighly flexible but extremely durable, the Castelli Unlimited Trail Baggy Shorts are ideally suited to the demands of cycling off the beaten track. A pair of shorts for adventurous cyclists. The first thing to notice when wearing the Unlimited Trail Baggy Shorts is how light they are. At just 165 grams per square meter, the material used for the shorts ensures you'll barely notice you have them on. The material also features Cordura® yarns, offering excellent abrasion resistance for off-road cycling. And then there's the stretch of elastane. This allows you to move and react to the terrain as well as pedal smoothly, all without ever feeling restricted. For days that are misty and drizzly, a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish makes sure water rolls off rather than soaks into your shorts. They're quick-drying too, ensuring comfort in changeable riding conditions. If the sun comes 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.Features:Materials: 90% Polyamide, 10% Elastane165 g 4-way-stretch woven Cordura® fabric with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishDouble-slider zippered ventilation along full length of legsExtremely light so you won't even feel it on2 front pocketsAdjustable webbing belt for a secure fit at waist, with zippered front openingScorpion button logoLooser fit at home on any trailBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
