Castelli Flight Long Sleeve Jersey AirSurprisingly light in weight and yet offering excellent cool-weather warmth, the Castelli Flight Long Sleeve Jersey Air is ideally suited for cycling during autumn and spring. Castelli takes their highly functional, partially windproof Nano Flex Light material, used for the back of their renowned Perfetto vest, and uses it to make the Flight Long Sleeve Jersey Air. With its tightly woven structure, it's great at keeping out much of the wind, preventing the heat-sapping effect of windchill.Despite offering more wind protection than a regular long-sleeve woven jersey, it still maintains outstanding breathability too. With no membrane used, moisture can easily escape, while what air does pass through to the inside does a great job of regulating your temperature. Extra comfort also comes via a 3D mesh lining across the front. This delivers quick-wicking performance, ensuring sweat doesn't pool on the skin. During and after harder efforts you’ll find you’ll feel drier and more comfortable thanks to this extra layer. And being drier you’ll remain warmer too.The stretch woven material also gives the jersey a close-to-the-body fit but with plenty of flexibility. In fact, Castelli dub this jersey their Aero Race Jersey for cool conditions. A full-length zipper keeps you in control of ventilation and raw-cut wrist cuffs fit well with your lighter-weight spring/autumn gloves.Features:Materials: 78% Polyester, 22% ElastaneNano Flex Light woven fabric all around partially blocks wind, but lack of a membrane guarantees maximum breathability3D Mesh fabric from Castelli’s base layer range used as front lining for extra warmth and moisture managementYKK® Vislon® zipperRaw-cut wrists integrate easily with glovesClose-to-body fit3 rear pocketsReflective wordmark on back pocketWeight: 190gSuggested Temperature range: 10 to 16 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Endura MT500 MIPS HelmetCombining two leading head protection systems, MIPS and Koroyd, the Endura MT500 MIPS Helmet gives you unrivalled head protection for when you're slaying mountain bike trails. Taking your head protection to the next level, the MT500 MIPS Helmet combines a host of features to make your mountain biking safer and give you the confidence to take on ever more challenging terrain. Starting with the in-mould construction, this combines a tough and durable outer with a shock-absorbing foam inner. This keeps your head protected when you push your limits a bit too far and hit the ground. Koroyd Technology Engineered ProtectionThe MT500 also features Koroyd protection. Thousands of co-polymer extruded tubes are thermally welded to create a consistent and fully engineered energy absorption system. These cores plastically deform for higher speed impacts, absorbing energy linearly. Up to 84% of the material thickness can be utilised in case of an accident. Existing energy absorbers densify around 60%. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.Cool and ComfortableAs well as keeping your head safe, the MT500 is comfortable too. The adjustment system is quick and easy to use via a rear dial, ensuring you always get a good fit. After all, a good-fitting helmet is a safer more comfortable helmet. Inside, you'll also find quick-wicking and quick-drying pads. These make sure a tough pedal upwards won't leave your brow soaked in sweat.Airflow is also optimised for cool comfort. Large vents, including an upper 'air intake' zone, keep fresh air circulating and allow damp air to escape. Front vets also act as a sunglasses dock. And if you prefer wearing goggles, then a rear gripper will keep your goggle strap firmly in place over any terrain. An adjustable visor completes the awesome trail-ready package.Features:Lightweight in-mould construction; Full Koroyd core provides increased energy absorptionMIPS® Brain Protection System reducing multi-directional impactsRemovable, adjustable visor offering a wide range of movementLarge vents including top ‘air intake’ zone provide increased airflowFast wicking, quick-dry, soft-touch, removable paddingA one-handed micro-adjust fit system, integrated into MIPS layerGoggle-friendly design with rear strap gripper and front vents act as sunglasses “dock”Clip-on accessory mount, accessory clip and light mount includedCertified to CPSC and CE EN1078:2012 + A1:2012 StandardsShop all MIPS helmets - Click hereBuy Endura Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Castelli Nanoflex Pro 2 Bib Tights AW18Now more protective than ever, Castelli's Nanoflex Pro 2 Bib Tights uses new Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric to increase water protection and warmth, making it perfect for the depths of winter, whether it's a wet or dry day.A step on from the original Nano Flex, Nano Flex Xtra Dry is improved with a tighter knit design with a double layer that increases the thermal warmth of the Nanoflex Pro 2 Bib Tights. At the same time, Castelli has also improved the water-repellent treatment so you'll be able to ride for longer in the rain before water can soak in. However, these improvements aren't to the detriment of breathability, you'll still find the fabric is highly effective at removing sweat to leave you dry and comfortable inside. Another key component for comfort on your winter rides is the inclusion of the Castelli Progetto X² Air seat pad. This pad uses multi-density foams in variable thicknesses to provide support and cushioning where you need it most. A lack of seams eliminates chafing while pedalling, creating a pad that is comfortable for hour after hour. The construction uses minimal seams, to prevent water ingress, and extra material is added over the backside and inner thigh to resist soaking from road spray. As the light fades you'll also be pleased to find large reflective splash proof panels over the shin increases your visibility, perfect for those who ride early or late in the day.Features:Materials: 78% Polyamide, 22% ElastaneNano Flex Xtra Dry fabric brings higher level of water protection and warmthDouble-face knit keeps you warmer because less wind comes inReflective waterproof splash guards on inside of lower legsDouble layer over backside protects from water coming off rear wheelFewer seams to reduce chance of water coming inLie-flat bib constructionProgetto X2 Air pad for long hours in the saddleSuggested Temperature Range: 0 to 10 Degrees CBuy Castelli Cycle Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Castelli Superleggera Bib ShortsCastelli have always been pioneers of cycling shorts for very hot weather. The Castelli Superleggera Bib Shorts are their very latest development, pushing fabric technology further than ever to deliver the best in lightweight hot-weather performance.Scorching PerformanceCastelli have worked from the ground up, looking at new ways to make the Superleggera Bib Shorts as light as possible, highly breathable and yet maintaining durability. To this end, they start with a unique woven fabric rather than standard knit. It's some 50% lighter than usual cycling shorts fabric and yet offers excellent muscle support and non-transparency. The woven nature also allows Castelli to grade the weight seamlessly from the top to to the leg ends - the lower part of the leg weighs a mere 90 g/m² compared to the usual 220 g/m² of standard cycling shorts. This lack of weight contributes to more comfort as temperatures rise. The shorts also absorb less moisture for greater comfort and less on-the-bike weight. At just 114grams they're very light anyway but because they absorb 30% less moisture, they remain light even as you sweat. When you're heading uphill every little bit of weight saved counts. While being barely-there light the fabric is durable and abrasion-resistant against the saddle too - though something this light won't like you hitting the tarmac so ride safe and rubber side down. The bib section of the shorts is borrowed from the Free Aero Race 4 Bib shorts for perfect support, comfort and moisture management while stretch-woven grippers keep the shorts locked in place over the thighs.Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat PadLet's look at the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad in more detail and see just why it's so incredibly comfortable. The first contact point against the skin, the upper skin-care material, is now seamless and even softer than previous versions letting you enjoy smooth and chafe-free pedalling. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it, thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum - the result is intense comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you're on the saddle for hours on end. Features:Materials: 71% Polyamide, 29% ElastaneGradient stretch woven fabric for minimal weight with optimum supportUltralight fabric to reduce weight by up to 50% while improving durabilityMinimalist stripe mesh bib to minimize weight and keep you coolIntegrated gripper elastic with exposed Lycra® to hold leg in placeEmbossed logos and stretch silicone scorpion heat transfersProgetto X2 Air Seamless seat padWeight: 141g (Large)Suggested Temperature range: 20 to 40 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

With both inner and outer layers having zips you can easily adapt ventilation to regulate body heat depending on weather and intensity levels. Fit and FeaturesThe advanced patterning makes for an excellent close-to-body fit, the extra stretch at the waist keeping the fit sleek while a raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you.
