Castelli

- Polypropylene yarns that don't absorb moisture - Mix of textures for breathability and cushioning - Midfoot support band - 9 cm height

- Q skin yarns with antimicrobial silver ions to reduce odor - Mesh knit construction - Reinforced heel and toe - Midfoot support band

This is our base layer for the warmest conditions. The mesh is open to create a space on the skin for sweat to evaporate. The 10% elastane content makes it very stretchy and helps in moisture retention so that you're always getting evaporative cooling. - Magic Mesh 90% polyester, 10% Elastane wicking fabric - Minimalist lightweight construction - Reduced seams for maximum comfort

Just like the name says, we wanted to create the ideal simple emergency rain jacket. We made it completely waterproof and compact, and, as you’d expect from Castelli, we also gave it an amazing on-bike fit, yet it’s still roomy enough to fit over a Gabba. This jacket is an emergency piece, so we knew you wouldn’t want to break the bank with it, but the only real compromise compared to our top-of-the-line offerings is in breathability. We didn’t make this for an all-day rain ride, but it’s just right for your next emergency. - Deluge Light 2.5-layer waterproof fabric keeps rain off with 10,000 mm water column - Slight amount of stretch for excellent fit in riding position - Folds into half a jersey pocket for emergency situations - Innovative gutters drain water away from hands and off back - Waterproof zipper and seam sealing keep all water out

This jacket is the perfect companion to a Velocissimo or Entrata tight for cool fall days or even full winter for those of you living in warmer climates. For the front of this jacket, we've used the same fabric as on our pro-level Gabba jacket, but in this case, we've paired it with a fleece back for extra breathability and we've given it a more generous cut for easier wearing. The details are there, from the perfectly placed and sized three rear pockets to the silicone gripper elastic and the YKK Vislon zipper for easy opening and closing. Make the transition from summer to fall easier than ever. - GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER X-Mid front and sleeves for wind protection with exceptional breathability - Warmer fleece fabric on back for additional breathability - YKK Vislon zipper - 3 rear pockets - Embossed logo on chest with reflective stripes for visibility - Reflective panel below pockets for maximum visibility

Prologue or Pro Logo The Prologo name is Italian for "prologue," the opening salvo in a Grand Tour. But many of our customers pronounce it like "Pro Logo." And we don't mind at all. The Prologo Jersey, now in its sixth generation, does feature a big logo, but more than that it brings a lot of tech directly from our experience with pro racing. The fabric is remarkably soft yet stretchy and features bioceramic nanoparticles added to the fused polymer, which reflect far infrared light to both protect you from hot sun and help the body keep itself warm. The construction also borrows a lot of cues from pro racing: the same drop-tail construction that helps the jersey sit right around the waist while allowing generous pockets that sit lower on the back, the wraparound side panels that ventilate the back without letting in too much air from the front, and the easy-sliding YKK Vislon zipper. Product Features - New Punto fabric is light and breathable - Horizontal stretch for great fit, with limited vertical stretch to support pockets - Covered YKK Vislon zipper - Castelli shadow logo sublimation overprint on dyed base fabric - Drop tail with 3 rear pockets and internal silicone waist elastic on back - Reflective piping - 18°-32°C / 65°-90°F - Weight: 160g

This jacket is about the art of dressing just right for cool conditions. We're talking about those days when you need some protection from the cool air but not enough to bring out the winter jacket. Overdress and you'll be sweating and get cold because you're wet. Underdress and you never fully warm up to enjoy the ride. The concepts behind the construction are fairly simple: wind protection on front-facing surfaces, highly breathable fabrics on back-facing surfaces, and all-around water repellency in case you get a few drops of rain. But what makes this jacket spectacular is how we executed these simple concepts. The wind protection comes from our GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER lightweight two-way-stretch fabric that moves with you while being so light you'll hardly notice it's there. This light wind layer is backed by a separate ProSecco Strada inner layer with a separate zip that can be opened independently for perfect ventilation control. The back is made from our Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric that provides a good level of insulation yet has no membrane so allows for ample amounts of sweat to escape. The fit is close to the body so there is no fabric flapping around, while the little details make the difference: easy-sliding YKK zippers, reflective drain holes on the pockets, a lie-flat silicone gripper band around the waist. All these features are why this jacket is consistently named a favorite among Castelli staffers. We think it will be one of your favorites too. - GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER 150 fabric on front and sleeves for wind protection with high breathability and effective rain protection - Nano Flex Xtra Dry on the back for more ventilation allows heat and sweat to escape while shedding rain thanks to a nanotechnology water-repellent finish - Alpha double-layer construction separates the windproof layer from an insulation layer, allowing better ventilation management - Inner layer in ProSecco Strada for lightweight insulation with effective moisture management - Double YKK Vislon front zippers - Front zippered pocket - 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes - Raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you

We designed this jersey with the idea that you'll wear it half the time on its own and half the time under a vest in cooler conditions. So we made it look great no matter which way you use it. We made it highly functional using our Warmer fabric, which is thickly brushed on the inside, yet the 100% polyester composition means it doesn't hold sweat. The bands on the sleeves and the vertical stripe on the pocket are reflective for low-light visibility. - Made from 100% polyester fleece for extra warmth and wicking - Easy-sliding YKK Vislon zipper - 3 rear pockets - Silicone gripper elastic at waist - Large reflective panels on both sleeves and center pocket

For those days when you need to cover your knees but it's not quite cold enough for long tights, enter the Entrata Thermal Bibknicker.

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.

NEAR WEIGHTLESS PROTECTION We have reinterpreted the classic wind vest to make it as svelte as the rest of your wardrobe. This vest is designed to completely block the wind on the front while allowing ample breathability on the back. The fabrics are so impossibly light that you'll be surprised at how much warmer you stay with this vest over your standard jersey. But the magic comes from the cut and the stretch fabric on the back, which take up all the loose fabric and make the vest fit close to body without feeling tight or looking ridiculous. When you're ready to take it off, the vest folds into its rear pocket and stashes away, taking up minimal space in your jersey pocket. - Ultralight windproof woven microfiber front - Striped mesh back is stretchy to avoid fabric flapping in the wind - Folds up extremely small - Rear pocket - YKK Vislon zipper - Reflective piping - 12°-20°C / 54°-68°F - Weight: 75g

We made this tight for serious winter riding. That means keeping you protected and comfortable in the widest possible range of conditions. Easy to say, but harder to actually do. The main part of the tight uses our Nano Flex 3G fabric, the third generation of our proprietary nanotechnology fabric treatment that adds a high level of water repellency without affecting the breathability, stretch or warmth of the fabric. You get a highly stretchy, compressive fit that moves with you, for luxurious comfort with the best protection on the market. We add Nano Flex Xtra Dry panels to provide a bit more wind protection and warmth in the front and over the thighs. It's not only about the fabrics: anatomical patterning gives a bend at the knee and the hip, while the seamless bib straps lie flat so you hardly notice them. Our generously padded women's-specific Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad makes long rides more comfortable, and you have multiple reflective panels to keep you visible.

PERFETTO VEST IS NOW EVEN MORE PERFECT The Perfetto Vest has been a favorite with everyone from our pro riders to Castelli staff to performance cyclists everywhere. But we wanted to make it even more perfect, so we developed a new exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER fabric that is both lighter and more water repellent than the old fabric while maintaining the stretch and breathability. We matched it up with better water repellency in the back while maintaining the breathability, and further improved details like the back pockets and reflectivity.

The thrill of competition We made this short to incorporate as much technology as possible from our top-of-the-line pro-level race shorts at a more accessible price. And although it's certainly capable of weekend racing, it's also a great comfort performance short even if you never pin on a number. The main vortex textured fabric and the giro4 leg gripper, while the kiss air2 seat pad has most of the comfort of our top seat pad but represents maximum value. The intangible part that you'll appreciate most is our knack for building in perfect fit, thanks to the Castelli pattern engineering team. This is the short that brings the best of Castelli's know-how in building comfort performance shorts into an accessible product in your cycling wardrobe. - Kiss air2 seat pad for all-day comfort - Affinity pro lycra fabric on inside of leg for outstanding stretch and rebound - Vortex BLC textured fabric on legs for better aerodynamics - Giro4 leg gripper with raw edge for comfort and silicone stripes for grip - Flat-lock stitching - Reflective detailing on back - Mesh straps for comfort and breathability

This is a modern interpretation of the wind shell jacket, the one you keep in your pocket for a long descent or put on for the first hour of the ride until the day warms up. That jacket used to be a simple affair — a nylon shell — but the lack of stretch meant that it had to be cut on the generous side to fit all body shapes, both on and off the bike. We've completely reimagined what the shell jacket should be and how it's constructed. We've added panels on the sides and the sleeves in a very high-stretch yet tightly knit fabric that allows us to give the jacket a modern, close-to-body fit for aero gains on any terrain, and it actually keeps more heat in than a jacket that's flapping about. We've kept it very compact so that it can pack away into minimal space in a jersey pocket. The stretch panels are treated for water repellency, which will help in a light mist, but this is not meant to be a true rain jacket. - Coated ripstop nylon front and back and front of sleeves to keep wind off - Tightly knit stretch panels on sides and sleeves allow for perfect fit - High collar to keep drafts out - Reflective details on chest and lower back for low-light visibility

Most of us use long-sleeve jerseys for a few days in the spring and fall, then extend their range with a vest in cooler weather, and then pull them back out for insulation duty under a jacket in extreme cold. So a thermal jersey shouldn't be too bulky or complicated, yet you don't want boring. We built this with all the essential features, like great fabric and fit, perfect pockets, and our lightweight easy-sliding YKK Vislon zipper. - Warmer fabric - Castelli stripe logo across upper chest - Lightweight YKK Vislon easy-sliding zipper - 3 rear pockets with Castelli drop-pocket construction - Reflective piping at back

A Better Short Shorts are an obsession at Castelli. They're the most vital piece of clothing and one of the hardest to get right. Even though the Prima is our entry-level short, it shows that we won't compromise anything for comfort and performance. It starts with the women's-specific KISS Air2 seat pad. Just the name gives an idea of the process of constant improvement, which started with a soft KISS pad that was improved by making it more breathable (Air) and then improved again in the latest update to use the softest-ever top fabric (2). It's ready for your next big ride indoors or out. We've updated the fabric to the new Pro Dry Soft, which has a smooth matte finish that feels cool on the skin while being very supportive and quick to dry. We wanted this short to be just right for many years to come, so little details like the reflective patches are stitched in instead of being glued on, and the GIRO3 elastic has the grip woven right into the fabric. This attention to detail — go ahead and call it an obsession — is why Castelli's entry-level short is just a better short. - KISS Air2 seat pad for all-day comfort - Pro Dry Soft matte Lycra is sleek looking and ultra-breathable - Anatomic construction for perfect fit - Rear reflective panels - GIRO3 engineered flat leg band - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 160g

This jacket is 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 make 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 the Team Ineos riders, and the most versatile performance jacket for cold-weather training we've ever created. - Rain or Shine engineering makes this our best jacket ever for dry conditions while also providing significant rain protection - GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER 150 fabric for wind protection with high breathability and effective rain protection - Reduced seaming with seam sealing on shoulders reduces chances for water to enter through stitching - Double-layer Alpha construction separates the insulating layer from the wind/water barrier to let you better regulate ventilation - Water-resistant YKK Vislon zipper slides easily for better regulation of airflow - Raw-edge waist with silicone gripper lies flat and seals out wind - Double-layer cuff integrates with a glove to prevent cold wind or water from entering at wrist - Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for an excellent close-to-body fit that still accommodates a wide range of body types - Back ventilation - 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes - Zippered secure side pocket for valuables

Innovative evolution The Free Aero RC 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 Gri d'Italia, one Vuelta, and San Remo, 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 skincare 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 either stitched or embossed for durability. - High-compression 215g 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

The Maison jersey graphic dips into traditional fashion fabric designs, from houndstooth to paisley to a stylized glen plaid. All with a unique twist, and applied to our all-around performance jersey construction that we call Competizione. The main body fabric has a 7% Lycra content for horizontal stretch combined with limited vertical stretch so your pockets don't sag. We use our Tailwind dimpled stretch fabric on the sleeves, side panels and pockets for stretch and maximum ventilation. Finishing details are top notch, including the YKK Vislon zip and silicone gripper elastic at the waist to keep the jersey from riding up. - Strada micro mesh ventilated stretch fabric on front and back for great fit and moisture management - Tailwind dimpled stretch fabric on sleeves, side panels and pocket for perfect fit - Full-length YKK Vislon zipper is easiest-sliding zipper available - Silicone gripper elastic at waist prevents jersey from riding up

We've completely re-engineered our entry-level vest. A new coated ripstop fabric keeps the wind off the front and spray off the back, while the tightly knit side panels allow the vest to stretch to fit a wide range of shapes while keeping a close-to-body fit that eliminates fabric flapping in the wind. The collar is cut high and the back long for extra protection and the color blocking of the stretch panels and the reflective details on the chest and tail give it an elegant design touch. - Coated ripstop nylon front and back to keep wind off - Tightly knit stretch panels on sides for perfect fit and ventilation - High collar to keep drafts out - Reflective details on chest and lower back for low-light visibility

It Just Works Right Castelli has innovation in our DNA, and we've brought you most innovations in cycling shorts over the years: the first Lycra shorts on the market, the first synthetic seat pads, the first anatomical seat pads, the first minimalist and flat bib straps, and the first flat leg grippers. All these have become industry standards, and we keep pushing and innovating in our high-end shorts. The Entrata short is where we bring all that knowledge and experience into a short that just plain works. The fabric is just the right weight with just the right stretch and with a matte finish that looks just right. The KISS Air2 seat pad is just right, as is the GIRO3 leg gripper. And the short fits just right because we obsess over the fit of every short we make. We wanted this short to be just right for many years to come, so we stitch on the logos and stitch in the reflective panels on the back. There are no logos to peel off, and everything is stitched down securely. This short gives you every reason to step up to Castelli. - KISS Air2 seat pad for all-day comfort - Pro Dry matte Lycra for good compression and moisture management - 8-panel construction for perfect fit - Rear reflective panels on lower leg - GIRO3 engineered flat leg band - Mesh bib straps for comfort and breathability - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 173g

The Thrill of Competition We made this short to incorporate as much technology as possible from our top-of-the-line pro-level race shorts at a more accessible price. And although it's certainly capable of weekend racing, it's also a great comfort performance short even if you never pin on a number. The main Vortex textured fabric and the Giro4 leg gripper come straight from our top Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort, while the KISS Air2 seat pad has most of the comfort of our top seat pad but represents maximum value. The intangible part that you'll appreciate most is our knack for building in perfect fit, thanks to the Castelli pattern engineering team. This is the short that brings the best of Castelli's know-how in building comfort performance shorts into an accessible product in your cycling wardrobe. - KISS Air2 seat pad for all-day comfort - Affinity Pro Lycra fabric on inside of leg for outstanding stretch and rebound - Vortex BLC textured fabric on legs for better aerodynamics - Giro4 leg gripper with raw edge for comfort and silicone stripes for grip - Flat-lock stitching - Reflective detailing on back - Mesh straps for comfort and breathability - 15°-35°C / 59°-95°F - Weight: 173g

PROSECCO TECH SHORT SLEEVE The first goal of this base layer is to move moisture away from your skin while adding minimal insulation for those cool days when your riding intensity is high enough and your outer layers are warm enough. The areas covered by the bibtight around the waist and up the back can get hot, so we used a lightweight PrimaLoft fabric to help even out the temperature. This base layer works best when in contact with the skin, so both fabrics are very stretchy and the cut is slim. On extremely cold days we'll use this as a first layer under a Flanders Warm second base layer, or under a thermal jersey. It's very effective at moving sweat away from the body. WHAT IT IS Made to keep you dry in cool conditions, this base layer features body mapping construction with Prosecco hydrophilic treatment on the main body fabric and lighter-weight PrimaLoft fabric aligned to the parts of the body covered by the bibtight straps.

NOT YOUR OLD-STYLE WIND JACKET If you're like us, there's a reason you're not using your old-style wind jacket more. With waterproof jackets like the Idro being lighter and more compact than ever, we felt it was time to reinvent a classic. In reality, the Aria Shell Jacket is very different from your flappy old jacket that either didn't protect you or didn't breathe. This jacket is an impossibly light layer that keeps the wind off the front of your body while allowing ample breathability through the mesh side panels. But what you'll really appreciate is how we use the stretch panels in the sides and on the back of the sleeves to make this jacket fit like a second skin: no flapping fabric, no cold air circulating inside the jacket, no more looking like a throwback to the Armstrong era. This jacket is light and warm enough to wear for the entire ride in mild conditions, but if you do want to take it off it folds into a side panel pocket and stuffs away in minimal space in your pocket or seat bag. - Ultralight windproof woven microfiber front - Striped mesh fabric at sides and sleeve back is stretchy to avoid fabric flapping in the wind - Folds up extremely small - Rear pocket - YKK Vislon zipper - Reflective piping - 10°-18°C / 50°-65°F - Weight: 99g

This glove was designed for long-distance rides, with extra padding in the palm and premium materials throughout. The palm has gel padding and a poron insert at the median nerve, on top of an ultrasoft synthetic suede. The back of the hand uses endurance evolution fabric that's robust enough to keep the glove in place, while the four-way stretch makes it comfortable on long rides. And it's the same fabric as the endurance bibshort, so your long rides will even look coordinated. - Endurance evolution back-of-hand fabric for stretch and secure fit - Stretch wrist closure - Soft synthetic suede palm - Gel padding with castelli damping system (CDS) padding at median nerve - Perfect for long-distance rides or for riders who need extra padding
