Cycling Protection. Come Rain or Shine. After four generations of the Perfetto long sleeve, the Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jersey gets the biggest performance upgrade yet, as denoted by the ROS in the title, Rain or Shine. This cycling jersey delivers comfort across a remarkably wide range of winter cycling conditions. Cold-weather comfort is taken care of by two exclusive Castelli GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ fabrics by Gore, a lightly fleeced front panel keeps in warmth while a lighter and high stretch rear fabric enhances breathability, so you always feel at just the right temperature. However, should you get caught in rain or snow it's then that the water repellent performance of the INFINIUM™ fabrics really come into their own. The Perfetto ROS is also the perfect weight for layering - use a light base-layer for milder conditions or add a thermal jersey underneath for more extreme cold. You decide. Details Honed With improvements to the fabrics complete, attention was then focused on getting all the details right. Improvements can also be found to the pockets, now larger to accommodate gloved hands, so no more frustrating fumbling for that energy gel. They also feature a pump sleeve inside, while below the pockets a dropped tail adds extra rear wheel spray coverage. Easily accessible side zipped vents boost airflow and a large reflective detail on the back is ideal for those shorter, darker days of winter. All details that really count towards comfort when cycling in the cold and wet. If there is just one item of clothing to see you cycling through autumn, winter and into spring, then the Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jersey could be it. An investment in your comfort as you tap out those colder weather miles in anticipation of summer smiles.
The key to the cool-weather performance of the Pro Thermal Mid Long Sleeve Jersey is in its use of mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric. It’s still got a fleece inner face for warmth, but Castelli have lightened it up a bit to make sure you don’t overheat when injecting some pace. Excellent breathability also allows sweat to escape. And with more stretch, thanks to extra elastane, and a race fit, it allows for a speed-focused streamlined fit while not feeling too tight. As a pro-performance garment, Castelli have kept details functional and focused. The YKK® Vislon® zipper slides easily, letting you boost airflow as and when needed. The drop-pocket construction allows you to load up and yet the jersey remains in a secure and stable position. There’s also a reflective stripe on the centre pocket, enhancing visibility after dark.
The key to the cool-weather performance of the Pro Thermal Mid Short Sleeve Jersey is in its use of mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric. It’s still got a fleece inner face for warmth, but Castelli have lightened it up a bit to make sure you don’t overheat when injecting some pace. It’s a brilliant jersey for spring and autumn and its performance can be extended across a wide range of conditions with a vest and arm warmers.

The Prologo has always been a popular jersey thanks to its winning combination of performance materials and refined fit. And this iteration, the Prologo 7 Cycling Jersey continues that tradition. The Micro-piqué polyester used for the body gives a luxurious softness and it’s brilliant at dealing with the sweat you generate too. Sleeves use Velocity Rev2, a nod to smooth aerodynamics, and raw-cut endings are wonderfully comfortable as well as streamlined. On hot days, you’ll more than welcome the full-length YKK® Vislon® zipper, keeping you in control of airflow and temperature regulation. 3 rear pockets ensure you have space for nutrition, fuelling you for the ride, as well as any small tools or an emergency gilet. The dropped design also keeps the pockets nicely in place and minimises sagging when you have them loaded up. And with reflective details, you’ll be more visible on rides that stretch into the fading light of a summer evening.
Rather than lather up arms in sunscreen, you can instead get reliable sun protection with the Prologo 7 Long Sleeve Cycling Jersey. The lightweight micro-piqué polyester body provides a UPF of 50 (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), blocking 98% of UV rays. But with plenty of airflow, this fabric also ensures you don’t overheat under warm skies and harder pedalling efforts. Super-light and stretchy sleeves in Velocity Rev2 fabric won’t weigh you down either, with quick-wicking performance to deal with sweat. And yet they too block 97% of UV rays, giving you a UPF of 30. While excelling in summer, with a heavier weight base layer it’s also great for cooler spring and autumn days. And with a smooth sliding full-length front zip, it’s easy to regulate airflow and body temperature. 3 rear pockets are there to load up with your essentials, the drop-pocket design putting them in just the right place too.
The first thing to notice when pulling on the Prologo VI Jersey is the luxurious softness of the Punto fabric, it feels great against the skin, it's light and it's also highly breathable. Not only does it feel good it performs brilliantly too, with bioceramic nanoparticles added to the fused polymer, reflecting far infrared light to provide protection from the high summer sun but also acting to keep you warmer should the temperatures dip if your ride finishes as the sun sets. In terms of the fit, it sits between a full race fit and regular fit, tailored for a wide range of rider sizes but with a nod to aerodynamics so there's minimal excess fabric to slow you down. The drop tail design gives the jersey a great fit around the waist and allows the generous pockets to sit just right, supported by a fabric with limited vertical stretch. Lastly, wraparound side panels provide excellent airflow to the back, speeding sweat evaporation for even greater comfort when the sun is high in the sky. With a design that has evolved over six generations, the Prologo VI is a refined cycling jersey with a classic design and sumptuous comfort. You can, of course, continue to call it the 'Pro Logo', a new favourite for all your summer cycling.
The classic thermal jersey, the Puro 3 is a fuss-free and no-nonsense design that works just how you want it to work. The Warmer fabric insulates and traps body heat so will take off a chill on a cold autumn day, but at the same time with a degree of air-permeability and excellent breathability, you'll find you don't overheat even as conditions warm up. For darker mornings and evenings, the added reflective panels ensure you'll be visible to other road users, while a high-quality YKK® Vislon® zipper gives you easy control of extra ventilation. Otherwise, it’s a no-nonsense functional garment aimed at comfort and warmth while making you look good on the bike.
Castelli had simple goals for their Superleggera 3 Short Sleeve Jersey. Make it as light as possible, and as breathable as possible, while not compromising on transparency, sun protection and functional details. The Oltre textile, with its distinctive horizontal mesh stripe construction, provides superb breathability, making sure heat and harder efforts won’t leave you overheating and overly sweaty. It also offers support for the rear pockets, preventing too much annoying sag when you’re loaded up for a ride. Attention to detail is superb, as expected. Every seam, stitch and component is carefully designed for optimal performance and comfort. A no-sew construction around the sleeves and hem gives a deluxe finish and the YKK® zipper is incredibly easy to slide for easy operation. Pro riders are squeezing into ever more aero cycling jerseys, but for the majority of us, the more forgiving tailoring of the Superleggera 3 strikes the right balance of comfort, freedom of movement and smooth airflow. Whether riding fast or taking it steady, the stretch fabrics and fit make it brilliantly comfortable while not sapping energy from flapping.
Made from lightweight polyester fabric, that gets eco-standard Bluesign approval, the Trail Tech Long Sleeve T-Shirt is quick to wick sweat off your skin and dries quickly too. The 3D mesh construction also lets through plenty of air to keep you cooler. Nothing like a basic sweat-soaked cotton tee. The fit is kept relaxed so you can move easily on the bike. And it looks great with your favourite trail riding shorts too. Castelli haven’t added pockets as this is a more relaxed riding t-shirt you’ll wear with cycling baggy shorts or a backpack, with those having pockets where you can stash your spares.

First thing you'll notice when you pull the Tutto Nano on is the snug stretch fit. This is thanks to the highly flexible Nano Flex 3G fabric, as found in Castelli's superb Sorpasso tights. This close fit not only saves precious energy but less flapping boosts warmth too. Speaking of warmth, the fleece inner is great at trapping body heat and the tighter knit of the fabric lets less air through than traditional thermal jersey fabrics, enhancing warmth still further. Next comes Castelli’s proprietary nanotechnology water-repellent finish. When you're cycling in the dry you'll not notice it. However, on a damp and drizzly autumn day, it comes into its own, fending off light rain and wet roads, keeping you comfortable for longer. Spring and autumn days are shorter and so you'll also be pleased to find 360° reflectivity, keeping you visible as the night draws in. An easy-sliding KK® Vislon® zipper with rubberized pull and the silicone gripper elastic finish the jersey in style. If you're looking to upgrade your cool-weather cycling kit, the Tutto Nano ROS Jersey is a great place to start. Compared to a traditional thermal jersey it's a definite step up in performance.
As dropped bar bikes become more versatile, with wider tyres, more relaxed geometries and riders heading off the beaten track for adventures, the Unlimited Allroad Cycling Jersey matches this more laid-back, relaxed style of riding. That’s not to say it’s lacking in performance, far from it. Castelli knows a thing or two about keeping you comfortable, and here they use a high-performance fabric to keep you feeling dry and fresh, wherever you’re exploring. The fit of the jersey is more generous than Castelli’s usual ‘race fit’, the focus on easy mobility and comfort, rather than aerodynamic performance. The relaxed style also extends to the no-sew sleeve ends while a waist gripper keeps the jersey in place. At the back, 3 large pockets and a zipped pocket offer up space for essentials you want close to hand and don’t want to stash in your handlebar or frame bag.
