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

Endurance-level comfort built around the Progetto X2, Castellis top seat pad. The Castelli Endurance 3 Bib Shorts are a traditional short that will prove a firm favourite with anyone looking to ride far and in comfort. The Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad consists of two separate layers: a soft stretchy layer that sits next to your skin and prevents any rubbing, and a perforated cushioning layer with two separate density foams along with breathable perforated gel inserts. These layers work together to keep comfort levels at an all-time high, for the pro peloton and dedicated weekend rider alike. A pro-level seat pad demands a great fit, and thats exactly what the Endurance 3 has. The anatomic cut and mesh bib straps hold the seat pad in just the right place and seams around the hip area create the perfect on-bike shape. The Endurance Evolution fabric provides optimum muscle support and feels dry when youre riding in the heat of summer or even working up a sweat on the turbo.

The Free Aero RC Pro Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original Free Aero Race Bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Giri d'Italia, San Remo, Roubaix, Liège, and Lombardia, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because, simply put, this is the short that does everything well. The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary. You feel Free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel Free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate Skin Care Layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin. You feel Free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back. You feel Free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% Lycra® with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are sublimation printed so they will never peel, crack, or fade. What It Is The perfect mix of comfort and speed. Engineered for top-level racing, which also makes it supremely comfortable for every ride and rider. Product Features High-compression 215 g Forza 2 fabric with 32% Lycra® content provides exceptional muscle support and compression Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders Rear mesh pocket 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade Reflective piping on back of legs Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F Weight:183g
The A Tutta Jersey is built using our new Competizione 2 base jersey. We’ve updated the construction with the side panels that finish in the pockets. We’ve updated the fabrics so that the back doesn’t stretch too long when you load up the pockets. And we’ve updated the sleeve fabric as well as the fit, maintaining super-stretchy fabrics for a great fit on any body shape without feeling too tight. We’ve given the A Tutta Jersey a fade effect built of diamond shapes that highlights the texture of the fabrics and the cut of the jersey. Great for fast rides and the perfect match to the Competizione Bibshort. What It Is A gradient fade through a diamond pattern brings a new graphic to a jersey built on our Competizione 2 model. It's the ideal all-around jersey for all your riding, offering comfort in training and speed in fast group rides. Product Features Strada micromesh ventilated stretch fabric on front and back for great fit and moisture management Tailwind dimpled stretch fabric on sleeves, side panels, and pockets for perfect fit Anatomic side panels that wrap around to back Full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper is easiest-sliding zipper available Silicone gripper elastic at waist prevents jersey from riding up 18°-38°C / 64°-100°F Weight:120 g
The Premio Bibshort has been engineered to provide the ultimate in long-distance comfort and to be your favourite bibshort ever. That’s a big claim, but there’s a lot of development in this short to back it up. We’ve carried the less-is-more theme into the design, with minimalist laser-etched logos and subtle finishing. It looks as premium as it feels. The first thing you might notice is what’s missing: the seams and multiple panels. We engineered a new fabric that changes depending on the needs over various parts of the body. The lower leg has a raw-cut leg ending and rubberized yarns to guarantee a flat grip to keep the leg in place. The fabric becomes lighter in the thigh, while the four-way stretch provides just the right amount of muscle support. With this magical fabric, we don’t need to stitch separate panels together, which ensures more comfort and a better fit, as well as a sleek, sophisticated look. The premium fabrics extend the bib straps. The perforated back keeps you cool and the edge is bonded so you don’t feel the thickness of a stitched edge. The elastic straps have just enough modulus (return) to hold your shorts securely in place without cutting into your shoulders. The seat pad is our top-of-the-line Progetto X² Air Seamless pad. It’s actually two separate components: a soft, stretchy Skin Care Layer next to your skin, which has the sole purpose of preventing any rubbing on your skin, and, under that, the Cushioning Layer, which features two separate densities of foam along with breathable perforated gel inserts under the ischiatic bones and perineum. In the pelvis area, the compression and support increase to keep the seat pad and everything else in place, and the fabric gets thicker to avoid any embarrassing transparency issues. Features: The premium all-conditions short Gradient stretch woven fabric for the right support in the right place Woven fabric weighs 30% less than comparable knit fabric Perforated back bib panel with lie flat bib straps that don’t bind at shoulders Integrated gripper elastic at leg ending holds short in place without need for extra silicone grippers Laser-etched logos with RossoCorsa at center back and black scorpion shadow logos at lower legs Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad
The Sorpasso RoS Bibtight from Castelli is made for long ride in the widest range of conditions. The tight features the ultra-stretchy, warm and water repellent Nano Flex 3G fabric. The fabric uses the third generation of Castellis nanotechnology fabric treatment that adds a high level of water repellency without affecting breathability, stretch or warmth. The fabric also offers a compressive fit that moves with you for all-day comfort. On the thighs and rear of the tights there are panels of Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric to provide a bit more wind protection and warmth, as well as protection from any road spray. Its not only about the fabrics. Anatomical patterning gives a bend at the knee and the hip, while seamless bib straps lie flat and hold the tights and seat pad perfectly in place so you can concentrate on your efforts. Multiple reflective panels keep you visible and YKK Camlock zippers at the ankles make for easy on and lock and a secure closure. The Bibtight uses Castellis Progetto X2 seat pad. This pad features two isolated layers that work in tandem with your body and saddle to eliminate friction while still offering substantial cushioning whereitsneeded most. Key Features Rain or Shine engineering Nano Flex 3G fabric for the ideal mix of warmth, stretchy compression, softness, and water repellency Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric panel on upper front and thighs for extra warmth, and on the back to protect from road spray Anatomic cut to hips and knees Reflective inserts for visibility from behind Lie-flat elastic bib straps YKK Camlock zippers at ankles Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad for long hours in the saddle 0 12C / 32 54F Weight: 302g (Large)

The Prosecco Tech Long Sleeve base layer features a body mapping construction to provide the best wicking and correct levels of insulation right where you need it. The main body is made from a rib knit fabric with Prosecco hydrophilic treatment. The ribbing helps trap air against your skin for optimum temperature regulation, while the hydrophilic treatment helps whip water away keeping you dry even when the efforts intensify. For even insulation across your upper body the Prosecco Tech uses PrimaLoft panels at the waist and back. This thinner material means you dont overheat where you have multiple layers from your bibtights and jersey. A crew neck fits neatly under short-collared jerseys. Key Features 100% polyester proprietary stretch rib knit fabric for main body Prosecco hydrophilic treatment for maximum wicking PrimaLoft panels at waist and back where bibtight covers upper body for even insulation Crew neck closure to fit under short-collared jerseys 6 16C / 43 61F Weight: 151g (Large)
Our most popular jersey, thanks to the warmth and excellent moisture management of our Warmer brushed-fleece fabric; the clean, purposeful design; and the large reflectivity panels on the chest and below the pockets on the back. Warmer fabric is a thickly brushed polyester fleece giving comfortable warmth with excellent moisture management. Reflective panels on front and back Gripper elastic at waist 3 rear pockets Easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper. The third generation of the Puro Jersey, our most popular winter jersey, is better than ever. The thickly brushed fabric is warm inside yet with excellent breathability with enough stretch for non-restrictive fit. The reflective panels front and back provide excellent day and night visibility. Otherwise it's a no-nonsense technical piece aimed at comfort and warmth while making you look good.
With just a base layer, this is a wind-protection jersey for mild conditions. Alternatively, use it over a jersey like a vest with added protection on your shoulders. Lightweight, breathable front wind protection with allover water repellency. Lightest Castelli short-sleeve wind protection GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch lightweight fabric on front and sleeves Nano Flex Light Woven on back for breathable stretch with good water protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy ventilation adjustment on the fly 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets The Perfetto RoS 2 Wind Jersey started life as a request from our pro riders: I want to wear the Gabba all the time, but sometimes it's too hot. So a somewhat lighter and more breathable Gabba became the Perfetto Light. With the fourth generation, we've also changed the name from Perfetto Light to Perfetto RoS 2 Wind Jersey. And it has become a staple in our autumn and spring wardrobes because it's so useful in so many situations ... which makes it very hard to define. In one sense it's a warmer vest, since it has the same construction as the Perfetto RoS 2 Vest but with short sleeves. In another sense it's a less warm Gabba. In another sense it's a jersey with front wind protection. Regardless of how YOU define it, you'll appreciate how it gives the right amount of protection on cool days while maintaining a high level of breathability. It makes you feel warm and protected, yet offers almost the same lightness and freedom of movement as a summer jersey. For mild days, we'll use it as a jersey over a light base layer with Seamless arm warmers. For rides in cooler or changeable conditions, we'll layer it over a jersey, with either Seamless or Nano Flex arm warmers. 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 three pockets hold more gear, and the extended tail has been reduced to make the piece more packable.
