Cyclingnews.com says this jacket is sets an all-new benchmark in what a winter cycling jacket can achieve and it's exactly what we think the perfect winter jacket should be. We started with a list of things we didn't like about the current jackets and set out to solve them—and in the process made our best jacket ever. The first issue to resolve related to moisture management. Even the best of the currently available fabrics provide a good level of breathability but can't keep up with the sweat generated during high-intensity riding. So we invented a double-layer construction that allows you to open an outer wind-protection layer while keeping the insulation layer closed and thereby allowing airflow inside the jacket to evacuate moisture while avoiding direct contact with the skin. On a long climb we'll completely open the outer layer to allow moisture to escape, and when we start the descent we close the outer layer and are completely dry inside. It works so well that sometimes it feels like magic. New for this year is a softer, warmer 3D insulation-layer fabric that provides better warmth, moisture management and fit. Next we focused on the openings: neck, waist and, most of all, wrists. The neck comes up high and is shaped to move with you, whether you're standing or in an aero position being a January hero and attacking your mates. For the waist we've created a stretch layer with a silicone bead that lies flat and completely seals out wind without bunching or riding up. New for this year is a brand-new double-layer wrist opening with an inner layer to go under your glove that seals tight to your wrist, and an outer layer that goes over your glove so that any rain will roll down the outside of the glove and not end up inside. Of course, the ultimate jacket will also hold up well in wet conditions, so we used GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric along with waterproof seam taping on critical seams around the shoulder. Other seams are hidden out of direct water flow, and the water-repellent treatment on the fabric is sufficient to prevent most moisture from entering. We call it essentially waterproof, using our own subjective judgment to find a balance between water protection, breathability and comfort. It doesn't mean that no drop will ever come in, but we do longish rides in real rain and stay completely dry. All these features make it a favorite of our staff and most of our ambassadors, and the most versatile performance jacket for cold-weather training we've ever created.

This is the original jacket/jersey that started an entire new product class: the Gabba. It's a water-resistant short-sleeve jacket that's equally ideal for dry conditions. Made to be worn with our Nano Flex arm warmers, it allows you to keep your core warm without overheating. The 5th generation of the Gabba, from the inventors of the Gabba Now more water-resistant than ever Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfaces GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathability Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets In 2010 Castelli introduced the Gabba to the pros and changed the way pros race in the rain and cold. And the way they dress for cool-weather training. The Gabba also happens to be the perfect cool-weather piece for all the non-pro cyclists out there because of how it keeps your core warm and dry while not being too hot. The latest Gabba is the fifth generation, and this current version is essentially waterproof while maintaining the breathability and wind protection that have always made the Gabba so good. It uses two separate Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics: warmer and 100% waterproof over the front, shoulders, and sleeves, along with a lighter, more breathable, and stretchier fabric on the back that is sufficiently protective against the water that hits your back. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets hold more gear. Typically, we'll layer the Gabba over a sleeveless base layer and short-sleeve jersey, and pair it with Nano Flex arm warmers for cooler and/or wet conditions, or Seamless warmers for mild conditions. The Gabba RoS 2 is a must-have for autumn and spring riding.
The long-sleeve Gabba is one of our most versatile pieces. 100% wind protection with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® water protection and best-in-class breathability. With a light base layer it's good for mild temperatures, or with a thermal layer you can ride it below freezing. If you have just one jacket in your cycling wardrobe, this should be it. Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfaces GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathability Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection Zippered ventilation opening on side of chest 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets The Perfetto RoS 2 is the one jacket that does everything well. If you look carefully, the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is essentially a long-sleeve version of the Gabba RoS 2. So it's just a warmer Gabba? Not really. The full sleeves fully turn it into a jacket, but one that covers a wide range of conditions. Like the Gabba, the RoS insignia signifies that it excels in dry conditions thanks to the high breathability, as well as in wet conditions thanks to the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. There's a light fleece-lined water-resistant version on the forward-facing surfaces and a lighter and stretchier fabric on the back that maximizes the breathability while providing excellent water repellency. The Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket keeps all the cold wind out while being much more breathable than the typical polyurethane membranes used on most jackets that try to compete with the Perfetto. When you stay drier, you don't need as many layers underneath. The beauty of this jacket is that it doesn't have any insulation on its own, so a thin base layer is just right for mild conditions, while adding an insulating layer (a thermal jersey or Castelli's Alpha 2nd Layer) will take you to cold temperatures. You decide. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets hold more gear. While the Perfetto remains decidedly a performance fit, the new model has a touch more room through the chest, shoulder, and biceps. This is the one jacket that belongs in every cyclist's quiver.
Gravel riding is often slower than road riding but with higher intensity efforts, so breathability is paramount. The Castelli Unlimited Thermal Jersey keeps this in mind with a combination of fabrics that will keep your core warm whilst providing plenty of ventilation, so you stay dry and comfortable for longer. The body and sleeves of the jersey use the brushed fleece Castelli Warmer Fabric that provides insulation whilst letting just the right amount of air through for ventilation that doesnt compromise warmth. The side panels use Castelli Warmer X-Stretch fabric to create a perfect fit and a jersey that will move with you. Functionality is the aim of the game with the Unlimited Thermal Jersey with 3 rear pockets, an easy-sliding YKK Vislon zipper and gripper elastic at the waist to hold the jersey in place. Pair this jersey with a Perfetto RoS Vest or Aria Vest for cooler conditions. Key Features Castelli Warmer fabric on body and sleeves Castelli Warmer X-Stretch fabric on sides panels Gripper elastic at waist 3 rear pockets Easy-sliding YKK Vislonzipper with neck protector 12 18C / 54 64F Weight: 239g (M)
When Castelli engineered the first aero jersey for road racing back in 2006, everyone thought we were crazy. Back then, aero was only for TTs. Performance clothing meant moisture management. And you could win the Tour de France with a baggy jersey that was little more than a polyester T-shirt. Even our aerodynamic consultants expected limited gains, so we named the jersey Split Second, though, like now, we thought even small gains were worth pursuing. In the end the gains were pretty substantial, and we completely revolutionized the look of the pro peloton. We're now on the sixth major revision of our aero jersey. Each generation has become more aero and better fitting. The Aero Race 6.0 benefits heavily from CFD analysis of wake flow in the riding position for fabric and seam placement. It also benefits from pro riders' feedback, as we've worked to make the jersey comfortable for their long hours of training and then racing in every possible weather condition. CFD-based fabric placement and seam construction Engineered for aero efficiency at 30 to 55 km/h Airflow shoulder construction Velocity Rev2 fabric on front and sleeve 3D mesh back for breathability Elbow-length stretch sleeves with raw-cut edge YKK® Vislon® zipper Drop tail allows perfect pocket placement while keeping jersey fitting well at waist 18-35°C / 64-95°F Weight: 109 g
Just as the name says, the Castelli Emergency 2 Rain Jacket is the go-to for emergency rain protection. Castelli has made the jacket completely waterproof with a 10,000mm water column rating. It is compact enough to take up only half a jersey pocket, so you can stash it away with ease and it wont take up too much cargo room. The jacket has a slight stretch and has a superb on-bike fit with enough room to still fit over a Gabba or any thicker winter jacket. The Emergency 2 has all the trappings. A waterproof zipper seals out the rain, a long tail provides extra coverage, the wrist closures fit over gloves, and the 360 reflectivity makes this an ideal friend on dark country lanes or when commuting through the city. The only compromise Castelli has made with this jacket is it is less breathable than its topflight rain jackets. The reason? Simply to make this jacket more affordable. Available in a mute military green for those seeking an understated look or high vis orange for some welcome visibility. Key Features Deluge Light 2.5-layer waterproof fabric with 10,000mm water column Slight stretch for excellent fit in riding position Folds into half a jersey pocket Stuff pocket integrated into mesh vent at top of back Waterproof zipper and contrast seam sealing water out 360 reflectivity 6 18C / 43 64F Weight: 149g (M)
A favorite piece among our sponsored pros, this jersey is a bit lighter and a bit stretchier and features a closer cut for an aero fit. Mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric Ideal for cool conditions, with or without a vest Race cut with highly elastic fabric provides close-to-body fit without feeling tight Drop-pocket construction for better fit around waist and better pocket position Easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper Embossed line across chest Reflective vertical stripe on center pocket. Ideal for cool days when you still want a short-sleeve jersey but need something a little warmer to take the chill off. The fabric is lightly brushed on the inside, and the bit of elastane gives a perfect stretch fit. We'll also use this jersey with arm warmers and a vest on cooler days — either an Aria Vest that will go in a pocket once the air warms up, or a Perfetto Vest for a day that will stay cool. This jersey gives that extra level of comfort underneath. As a piece designed for the pros, it stays wonderfully minimalist: three rear pockets, easy-sliding YKK® zipper, sleeves cut to just above the elbows. But we've added a reflective stripe to help keep you visible.

The perfect jacket for mild winters or for the rider who tends to overheat, this piece features our warmly insulated GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric on the front and sleeves, while the back forgoes the membrane to let moisture escape. It's a non-race-fit jacket to fit most body shapes. GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® X-Fast fabric with fleece liner on upper chest and sleeve front GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® Mid with lightly brushed inside on lower front Reflective panel on chest Warmer back allows heat and moisture to escape Reflective heat transfers on pockets for maximum visibility 3 rear pockets YKK® Vislon® zipper. The Mortirolo Jacket has been designed to be a warm, cozy jacket on cool days while preventing overheating and moisture buildup inside the jacket. Choose this jacket for riding in cool but not frigid temperatures, or for high-intensity rides or if you tend to sweat a lot. This jacket excels in a wide range of conditions as long as it's not bitterly cold or raining. It's the combination of the right fabrics and construction that make it work so well. You get coldest on the upper chest and arms, so we use our GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® X-Fast three-layer fabric with a luxurious fleece inside for extra warmth. The lower part of the front is in our mid-weight GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric with a lightly brushed inner face. Both of these fabrics provide 100% wind protection, excellent splash protection, and best-in-class breathability. The back is in our brushed fleece 100% polyester Warmer fabric with superior wicking. It's not windproof, so it lets a lot of moisture escape. You stay drier and therefore warmer and more comfortable. The jacket has a neutral fit. It's not too racy, so there's room for an extra layer underneath, but it's certainly not going to flap in the wind.
A lighter and cooler bibshort for more comfortable indoor training. 195 g/m2 main body Lycra® is just enough to hold everything secure without being transparent Mesh side panels allow extra ventilation Raw-cut leg endings engineered to keep leg from riding up Minimalist bib straps with monofilament open knit for breathability Progetto X2 Air Skin care layer pad. If indoor is your main training tool for the winter months, then a dedicated pair of indoor shorts will keep you cooler. The entire construction of this bibshort is focused on making it as cool, light, and airy as possible while still providing the necessary support. The main body fabric is lighter than what our race shorts use, and the side mesh panels help with additional ventilation.We use the skin care layer of our tried and tested Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad because it's sufficiently cushioned for most indoor sessions but much cooler than the full Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad from our cycling shorts. The bib straps are the lightest, most breathable we've ever made.
For cool-weather gravel rides, the Unlimited Thermal Jersey keeps your core warm while providing enough ventilation to keep you from overheating. Stretch side panels keep it fitting perfectly.

Warmer fabric on body and sleeves Warmer X-Stretch side panels Gripper elastic at waist 3 rear pockets Easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper with neck protector. Riding on gravel often means a little bit lower speeds at a higher effort level, so breathability becomes even more important and you can dress a bit lighter. Our Unlimited Thermal Jersey features our Warmer brushed fleece fabric, which provides a high level of insulation while letting just the right amount of air through for ventilation without causing a chill.We keep this piece very functional with the three rear pockets and a silicone gripper at the waist, while the YKK® Vislon® zipper is the easiest sliding we've ever found, so it's quick to adjust as your temperature changes.
