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 Women's 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 Graffiti 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, the cosy Grafitti 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.

When seeking to create a base layer for freezing cold days, Castelli’s design team turned to the insulating power of Polartec® Alpha®. What they found is that on its own it tended to feel a bit too damp and clammy for use as a stand-alone base layer. However, paired up with a quick-wicking base it offered superb warmth and comfort. The result is the Cold Days 2nd Layer Jersey. Thanks to Polartec® Alpha®, this cycling top is incredibly lightweight, soft and yet offers superb insulation against the cold. It certainly won't weigh you down or get in the way but still retains incredible levels of warmth. It’s the perfect mid-layer to complement your favourite winter base layer. Details have also been carefully designed for mid-layer comfort. A half-zip allows you to vent but lessens bulk over the torso. It's also slightly off-centre, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the zips on your outer jacket or jersey. The high neck offers a warm seal against the cold while the close fit lets you tuck it into your tights or leave it outside.
When it comes to shredding the trail aggressively, staying protected as you nail north shores and kickers is a vital necessity. Offering added coverage to the temple and the back of the head, the POC Tectal Spin leaves no stone unturned in its quest to be the safest helmet on the market. There is a fully wrapped unibody shell construction for impressive durability while structural integrity is enhanced thanks to the Aramid bridge technology liner. Infused with technology passed down by a long line of POC creations, this stylish helmet has award-winning family members in its bloodline and perfectly suits the demands of Enduro and racing. Extremely robust and lightweight, POC have opted to utilise their very own patent pending rotational impact protection system. Known as SPIN, the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain is reduced, meaning you can have full confidence in your helmet’s ability to perform should the unexpected happen. Not content with just improving their rotational impact protection system, POC have also infused innovation into their stylish lid, providing a layer that sits against the head to shear in all directions during an oblique impact. Moving with your skull during crashes, the force transmitted to the brain is lowered, ensuring that safety really is the name of the game with the Tectal Race SPIN. Should you still be demanding more for your money, there is a reinforced EPS liner to add extra impetus to your ride and the simple and easily adjustable fit of the Tectal allows you to customise the helmet on the go. Improving your protection against sharp objects is bound to see you attack the downhill sections with more aggression, and the highly breathable capabilities of the Tectal ensure you stay cool and fresh from the first pedal until the last. Offering optimised ventilation which has been evaluated in the wind tunnels, the flow of air is maximised around your head. With a goggle clip and adjustable visor also included, the Tectal Race SPIN Helmet truly is the king of the mountain.
Built around a trail-crushing nylon shank, proven on the Downhill World Cup scene, the Ventana Fastlace Mountain Bike Shoes get all your power to the pedals, letting you accelerate out of berms, send gaps and generally tear up the dirt with brutal cross-country style efficiency. Added to this is Giro's exclusive Sensor® rubber compound grip, letting you scramble over rocks and logs with absolute confidence while reinforced toe and heels fend off those unexpected rock strikes and hidden roots. To soak up bumps you'll also love the cushioning support of the Injected EVA midsole. Giro's One-piece Synchwire™ upper design hugs your foot for optimal comfort and with mesh inserts, you'll relish the cooling airflow during a hot day hitting the trails. To get that sleek trail-run fit, Giro gives the shoes their Fastlace closure system - a quick pull and lockdown of the cord lock and you're snugly and comfortably ready to roll into your first trail of the day. Cleat Guidance These shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use the 2-bolt cleat standard (SPD standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.

With their development in the wind tunnel plus feedback and use by Pro riders in the WorldTour, you can be confident the RSR Speed Booties deliver meaningful gains when you're seeking a competitive advantage over your rivals. Starting at the ankles and cuffs, Assos use their aerodynamic Windchannel Stripes material. This Lycra® blend warp knit gives an incredibly snug and smooth fit with little to no creasing. As speeds increase it reduces drag to less than that of just your bare skin. The Zero Cuff design also gives an incredibly smooth fit, eliminating the ridge between shoe cover and skin. Over the front of the foot, you'll find EVA KANT material. The high-stretch characteristic of the fabric makes it ideal for aero applications, keeping the fit with your cycling shoes as snug as possible. And with wind- and waterproof protection, racing fast in inclement weather presents no problems.
