Castelli Women's Gabba ROS 2Come rain or shine, the 5th generation Castelli Women's Gabba ROS 2 won't let you down. With improved water resistance it's now even better in the rain but it still retains the brilliant breathability and windproof protection you'll love, making it great for all weather eventualities. The Gabba made its revolutionary debut back in 2010. And ever since then it's been the benchmark by which all-around cycling performance is judged. The Women's Gabba ROS 2 excels in the cold and wet, keeping you warmer and drier. But in dry and milder conditions, excellent breathability ensures brilliant comfort too. The incredible versatility has been achieved thanks to the use of two Castelli exclusive Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. Gore-tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 is deployed across the front, sleeves and shoulders. This faces into the weather and offers complete wind protection, a high degree of water resistance and a brushed inner face to hold in warmth. Across the back of the jersey, meanwhile, lighter and high-stretch INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 gives a snug fit and outstanding breathability. When there's an injection of pace or a rise in temperatures, this ensures you don't overheat and get a chill from cold sweat. It’s water-repellent too, fending off road spray.Compared to the previous iteration the Women's Gabba ROS 2 gets some key detail improvements. In order to improve control of ventilation, the KK® Vislon® front zipper is now two-way. This lets you introduce airflow to either the top or bottom of your body. For low-light cycling, the reflectivity is now more visible and pockets to the back now hold more gear. Lastly, seams at the shoulders have been moved to the back, reducing exposure to wind and rain. The Gabba RoS 2 is a must-have for autumn and spring riding when weather conditions can change in an instant.Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterCastelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfacesGORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathabilityTaped shoulder seams for extra rain protectionTop- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection3 rear pocketsReflective panel at bottom of pocketsWeight: 215gSuggested Temperature range: 9 to 16 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

The Omne Air Resistance SPIN Helmet achieves that fine balance between sleek performance, comfort, ventilation and of course first-rate protection, making this a helmet you can easily use every day on or off-road. In the event of a fall, it's the combination of optimal liner density, thicker core protection zones and SPIN (Shearing Pad INside) technology that will help prevent injury through optimal energy dispersal. The updated POC Omne Air Resistance MIPS helmet is now available SPIN (Shearing Pad INside) Unlike most of its rivals who deploy the popular MIPS technology, POC has created their very own protective system known as SPIN, a patent-pending rotational impact protection system that reduces the effects of an oblique fall by limiting the amount of force transmitted to the head and brain. Using an innovative and unique pad technology to keep you safe you'll be protected from unexpected falls and install a new level of confidence as you ride. Easy Adjustment and Comfort While protection is of paramount importance it's not much good if the helmet is uncomfortable or poorly vented. It's here that the Omne Air Resistance SPIN benefits from tech first developed on POC's award-winning Octal and the Ventral race helmets. The slim and streamlined profile keeps weight and bulk to a minimum while large vents and ventilation channels create a cooling airflow over the whole head. A lightweight 360-degree size adjustment system gives you precise control of the fit while easily adjusted straps ensure the helmet remains perfectly in place no matter what the terrain throws at you. Delivering superior levels of comfort, fit and performance, theOmne Air Resistance SPIN can see you take safely to the MTB trails, work commute or set your sights on a big weekend gravel epic.

The top rated winter jacket, bringing warmth, breathability and a high level of rain protection along with a soft, comfortable fit. his jacket leads the way in demonstrating how a winter jacket should perform. 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 insulating layer from 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 glove to prevent cold wind or water from entering at wrist Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for 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. Cyclingnews.com says this jacket is sets an all-new benchmark in what a winter cycling jacket can achieve and it's 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 made 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 our staff and most of our ambassadors, and the most versatile performance jacket for cold-weather training we've ever created.
