This short is the result of decades spent working to make long hours in the saddle ever more comfortable. The fabric is our high-stretch Forza fabric. The 38% Lycra content means that it’s gently compressive while never binding. And it maintains an insanely soft hand. The nearly seamless construction is derived from our Body Paint shorts, which debuted a decade ago and started the trend of reduced seams while maintaining remarkable fit. Nothing to rub or break. The renowned Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad gets an update in this season with a new skin care layer that features a remarkably soft new surface fabric and more stretch, which allows us to eliminate the front triangle. We also obsessed over every other little detail, like the new bib construction and even new silicone logos that stretch with the base fabric and recall the logo location of the first Castelli Aero Short from the late ’70s, the short that started it all. - Forza fabric with 38% Lycra content for a perfect fit - Dual-layer lumbar support band keeps shorts locked in place around waist - Reduced seaming for more comfort - Raw-edge leg ending with vertical silicone grippers - Mesh back with bonded 2-layer bib straps - Silicone Castelli logos - Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad

The creation of this product started with a list of the things we wanted to fix about winter gloves: we wanted to make a glove that's warm without being bulky, is easy to get on and off, is mostly waterproof without having it suck in dry weather due to low breathability, and is super comfortable. We innovated everything on this glove, starting with the base fabrics: we've used a stretch water-resistant windproof outer shell over PrimaLoft Gold insulation to make it warm, and an insanely soft inner liner that happens to slide easily over even a sweaty hand for easy on/off. The wrist zipper allows the glove to open almost completely for ingress/egress and also slims up the glove so it doesn't look like a ski glove, even though it's good for moderately cold temperatures. - Rain or Shine product made to excel in both dry and wet conditions - PrimaLoft Gold insulation for warmth - YKK water-repellent zipper for easy on and off - Engineered silicone print for optimal grip - Water-repellent fabric for protection in wet conditions -Touchscreen inserts at fingertip

THE SOUL OF CYCLING The name "Anima" means soul in Italian, and that's what this jersey captures. It means getting the little details right, like perfect fit; soft, quick-drying, stretchy fabric; an easy-sliding YKK zipper; Castelli's innovative drop-tail pocket construction; and our Zen collar design that protects your neck from the zipper. We keep the styling clean and let the details make it special. - ProSecco Strada Donna fabric provides great moisture management - Contrast inner collar and zipper-protection flap - YKK Vislon zipper with scorpion zipper pull - Drop tail with 3 rear pockets - Silicone gripper elastic at waist - Reflective piping

This is the Castelli of commute jackets, made to deliver maximum function on the bike and then look great when you get to work. We wanted a jacket that provides maximum visibility during those night commutes but doesn't look ridiculous with all kinds of silver reflective bands and strips when you get to the office. We applied a nearly unnoticeable reflective print on the entire surface of the jacket. You don't really see it when you're riding in the daytime or wearing the jacket off the bike, but at night the jacket reflects a distinctive pattern to get you noticed. We didn't stop at the reflectivity. The 20,000 mm water column means no water is coming through, ever. And the 20,000 MVTR breathability means that a good amount of moisture will escape. But it's the ventilation details that make this jacket stand out: there's a gaiter at the waist that you can close to seal out the wind or leave open to let some air come in from the bottom to keep you cooler. This inner gaiter allows us to make a jacket that hangs straight at the bottom — a much cleaner and more refined look than a jacket with wrinkles from an internal elastic. - Castelli-exclusive 3-layer allover reflex fabric with 20,000 mm water column waterproofing and 20,000 MVTR breathability - Taped seams for fully waterproof construction - Cut to fit over normal clothes, longer in front and back for extra coverage - No-sew bottom hem for very clean look - No-sew external zipper flap - Inner gaiter can be closed to seal out drafts or left open for ventilation - Velcro wrist closure to effectively seal against gloves

Our lightest and airiest base layer wicks moisture away from your skin, while the open mesh helps hold the jersey up and away from the skin. It's good for warm conditions, and some riders even like it on a hot day, as it allows airflow between the jersey and skin. - Magic Mesh 90% polyester, 10% Elastane wicking fabric - Minimalist lightweight construction - Reduced seams for maximum comfort WARMER CONDITIONS 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.

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.
