Castelli

Castelli Rosso Corsa Classic Gloves - Castelli's Rosso Corsa Classic Gloves have a reputation. For years, they've soaked up the cobbles of France and Belgium for Team Garmin-Barracuda, but to us, this speaks less to their quality than their Rosso Corsa designation from Castelli. Rosso Corsa simply translates 'Racing Red.' However, there's much more to it than than that. Rosso Corsa was the traditional Red of international motor racing -- seen until the late 1960s as the color that all Italian race cars were painted for international races.

Castelli Gabba WS Jersey - Short-Sleeve - If it's race day and the rain is coming down in buckets, you obviously need to stay dry to win. Instead of throwing on a flappy jacket, gain an advantage over the pack with the Castelli Gabba WS Jersey. The Gabba WS jersey was designed hand-in-hand with the Cervelo Test Team and the Garmin-Barracuda cycling team to create an edge against the brutal weather of the spring classics.

Castelli Leggero Jacket - A lightweight wind jacket is a lot like a truing stand. In the course of a season, you may or may not have too many occasions to use it, but when you do need it, nothing else will suffice. When done well, they're incredibly versatile garments. Done poorly, they can wind up in a trashcan mid-ride. The Castelli Leggero Jacket begins with the Italian maker's stellar form-following fit. This is one jacket that won't flap in the wind.

Castelli Lightness Gloves - The Garmin-Cervelo professional cycling team's favorite glove for cool conditions, Castelli Lightness Gloves are designed to be soft, stretchy, and warm. Castelli's Lightness gloves are a happy marriage of two materials: Thermoflex and Clarino. Thermoflex is made with a nylon/lycra blend that's brushed on the inside to provide stretch and warmth, while the outside has a silicone finish to offer light water repellency. By using Clarino (a fabric made of extra-fine micro-fiber) for the palms, Castelli increased the touch and durability of the Lightness.

Castelli GPM Full-Zip Long Sleeve Jersey - With more subdued styling than some of the Italian company's other offerings, the Castelli GPM Full Zip Long Sleeve Jersey is the perfect choice for cooler days when you want to look and feel comfortable. Constructed in solid colors with just a touch of grey around the wrists and neck, the GPM Jersey uses Castelli's popular Warmer fabric to produce a long sleeve jersey that insulates yet breathes to allow moisture to evaporate -- you'll stay warm and dry.

Castelli Narcisista Shoe Covers - A thick, fleece shoe cover designed for riding in cold and windy conditions, the Castelli Narcisista Shoecover is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. The thick and fleecy portion of the Narcisista is Stratolight fabric. It's designed to provide superior insulation for your foot. Neoprene inserts also help to provide warmth and flexibility, while a plisse insert ensures a stretchy, foot-hugging fit. Perhaps most importantly, after input from riders on the Garmin-Cervelo professional cycling team, Castelli moved the Narcisista’s zipper to the outside, making it harder for water to seep into your shoe and easier to adjust while riding.

Castelli Vizio Due Shorts - Castelli's Vizio Due Women's Shorts start with the idea that shorts must comfortably stay in place in order for them to be comfortable. So, they designed a curved waistband out of Action Power Lycra that offers gentle compression and is abrasion resistant. Inside the waistband is lightweight elastic to make sure it holds. When you put the shorts on, you'll find that the waistband is higher in the back and lower in the front.

Castelli Body Paint 2.0 Bib Shorts - When most of us hear the words 'body paint,' we think of Mardi Gras or wild Vegas shows. But that certainly is not what Castelli had in mind when it coined the phrase to describe this line of high-quality cycling wear. The Castelli Body Paint 2.0 Bib Shorts will fit so well that you'll feel like -- you guessed it -- they have been painted on you. The result are bib shorts that Castelli is proudly calling its fastest and most comfortable shorts ever.

Castelli Sottile Due Jacket - When ominous weather looms over race day, we often see the pros requesting a modified water bottle that's been stuffed with a lightweight jacket. Mechanics simply cut a bottle's top off and drop it in the seat tube cage, providing convenient and effective storage for riders to quickly access additional layers, nutrition, and rain shells. For the Garmin-Barracuda riders choosing this option, chances are that team mechanics are outfitting those bottles with Castelli's Sottile Due Jackets.

Castelli GPM Short Sleeve Jersey - When Americans think of hill climbing prizes, KOM (King of the Mountains) comes to mind. In Italy, the prize is GPM, Gran Premio della Montagna. Castelli's GPM Full Zip Jersey is a fine maglia to wear when scooting up steep hills to steal mountain points from your friends. You love them, but sometimes you have to beat them. It's for their own good. The GPM is probably the least flashy jersey in the Castelli lineup, but it still stands out with the classic close Castelli fit, grey caps on the sleeves and collar, and of course, their scorpion logo.

Castelli Mortirolo Due Jacket - Named after the famed Mortirolo pass, the Castelli Mortirolo Jacket lets you ride comfortably in temperate winter climates. Utilizing some of the technology found on the Espresso Due, this jacket is geared more for riding in moderate temperatures (higher than 46 F) while providing ample wind protection. The Mortirolo is constructed in two parts. The front utilizes WindStopper X-Fast 2 Fabric, which features four-way stretch, designed to eliminate pulling and bunching while ridingt.

Castelli Sanremo 2.0 Speed Suit - If you're like us, you value the aerodynamic edge of your skinsuit in the time trial, but no matter how often you try to will yourself, you just can't wear it for training or stage racing. Well, times are changing and watts are saved like never before with the latest Castelli invention, the San Remo Speedsuit. It's so fast that Castelli patented it. The San Remo Speedsuit is the result of Castelli combining the most aerodynamic, breathable, and lightweight garments in their line into one piece of wearable technology.

Castelli Corrente Wind Tights - If you're like us, you find it difficult to get the most out of your legs when they get cold and windblown. What you need is windproof protection. These Castelli Corrente Women's Wind Tights are just the thing, and they're as stretchy and comfortable as your favorite yoga pants. Made from their revolutionary SGO.6 Windproof stretch fabric, the Corrente Wind Tights are not only wind proof, but also incredibly water resistant.

Castelli Ergo Tre Short - As with the Ergo Tre Bibshort, the Ergo Tre short is an update of Castelli's Ergo Due short. If your preference is for a half short with no bib straps, and you're looking for that traditional staple of cycling, the classic eight-panel design, this is as close as you'll get with Castelli; it's more than enough for most. As with the Velocissimo, and all their shorts, Castelli designers start with the chamois and work from there.

Castelli Trasparente Long Sleeve Jersey - There aren't too many brands that mix function with form as well as Castelli. With the Castelli Women's Trasparente Full Zip Long Sleeve Jersey, you can count on having all the necessary coverage from the wind and cold, while still feeling sleek and elegant enough to be able to face your other lady friends in the street should they unexpectedly pull up next to you at a stoplight in their soccer-mom-SUVs.

Castelli Leggero Vest - Stuffing pockets before a ride sometimes calls for careful thinking. When you're facing a cool morning that will most likely turn into a beautiful day, you have to balance your nutritional requirements with baggage of civilization and leave room for the warmers covering your knees and arms as well as a spot for your vest. Castelli has made this job easier with their Leggero vest. The vest weighs about 50g. The key is the windproof, water-resistant, breathable Forcefield fabric.

Castelli Converter Cap - Wearing a cycling beanie without a helmet is kind of like wearing bibs when you aren't riding. But now, you're able to get your cycling fashion fix with Castelli's Converter Cap. It's perfect for off-the-bike fashion, and it conveniently does double-duty for on-the-bike warmth. Castelli's Converter Cap isn't really a cap at all. It's a tube of soft fleece with a toggle and drawcord closure at one end. With the toggle done up, it functions as a hat.

Castelli Free 9 Sock - The Castelli Free 9 Sock is woven with Meryl Skinlife antibacterial fibers. This moisture-wicking, breathable fabric pulls sweat away form your skin to keep you dry and comfortable. The top of the foot is a diaphanous web, ultra-thin and extremely breathable. In the middle of the foot, the arch area, there is a high-density band woven in. You won't notice any difference in thickness, but you will feel like the sock is becoming one with your foot rather than sliding around between your foot and your shoe.

Castelli Fusione Vest - Warm your core on chilly rides with the Castelli Fusione Vest. Zippered vents in the front and back make sure your temp is always just right. A fleece collar locks out cold breezes, and a silicon waistband gripper keeps the Fusione in place. Match the Fusione Vest up with the Fusione Jersey for a wind-cheating, nasty-weather-slaying combo. WindStopper Helium for ultra low-weight wind and water protection360 degree reflective piping around the shoulders.

Castelli Headband - By using a headband in conjunction with your helmet, you stay cool and keep the inevitable sweat from making its way to your eyes. Castelli knows how important these seemingly small issues are for cyclists, which is why it developed the Headband as a lightweight solution. The Castelli Headband was constructed with the same smooth Prosecco Strada fabric that's used in a majority of Castelli's jerseys, making it the perfect addition to your everyday riding gear.

Castelli Sorpasso Bib Knickers - Given the long hours that real base miles require, your winter gear ought to be at least as comfortable as the stuff you ride and race in during the peak of your season. The pad should remain comfortable over the course of a five-hour ride. The materials should feature little bulk while maintaining body heat so you don't feel like a first-grader bundled up for a winter's walk to school.

Castelli Diluvio All-Road Shoe Covers - In frigid climates, shoe covers are a winter-weather necessity. Castelli has perfected the on-the-bike fit of its shoe covers for comfort, fit, and weather-protection. The Castelli Diluvio All-Road Shoe Covers are its first overshoe designed specifically for riders who need to walk short distances in them. Castelli constructed the Diluvio All-Road shoe covers from the same neoprene as its more on-the-bike focused version. Neoprene is an ideal insulation to keep your feet warm and dry.

Castelli Leggera Jacket - Sometimes the best jacket is also the least jacket. What makes a windbreaker great is when it combines ultra-lightweight construction so it can pack in a pocket with no fuss, a form-fitting cut to keep it from flapping, and a material that can repel water and yet remain breathable. And this, is precisely what makes the Castelli Leggera Women's Jacket such a find. The Leggera Jacket is constructed from Castelli's Forcefield fabric, which weighs only 35 grams per square meter.
