As more of us cyclists venture away from the usual roads and seek gems of quiet lanes and hidden trails, what we want of a cycling jersey subtly changes. No longer is it about the almost singular aerodynamic focus of road racing kit; instead, the Unlimited Entrata Jersey is about all-day comfort for adventure rides. The fit is looser and more accommodating of different body shapes, letting you react to ever-changing terrain with ease. Castelli utilises a beautifully soft Italian fabric, with low weight and excellent sweat-wicking that makes it barely noticeable. The smooth-running Japanese YKK®’s easy-sliding Vislon® zipper keeps you in control of ventilation. A lower gripper holds the jersey in place while also supporting loaded-up pockets. The sublimated graphic on dyed fabric offers a durable tone-on-tone look that will look the part wash after wash, season after season.
From Split Second to Aero Pro In the past, performance cycling jerseys were all about moisture management with little to no attention given to aerodynamics - that was a consideration for time trialling only. Baggy cycling jerseys were the norm until the very first Castelli aero focused jersey appeared- named the Split Second. However, with every new version of the jersey, the aerodynamic advantages have proved to be worth far more than just split seconds. Using CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) to analyse wake-flow, the Women's Aero Pro Jersey will fit you even better when you're in an aggressive riding position while seam placement has been optimised to minimise drag. At speeds of between 30 and 55 km/h, the aerodynamic efficiency is optimised giving more speed without an increase of power output compared to a standard jersey - you could almost call it free speed. Cool and Fuelled Of course, riding fast, whether in training or racing, is going to generate heat. That, in turn, leads to sweat. However, the Women's Aero Pro isn't just efficient through the air it's also efficient in dealing with moisture too. Quick wicking and with a 3D mesh back you'll be cooler and drier as you push hard on the pedals. To keep you fully fuelled for your ride the pockets are easily accessible when stuffed with gels and thanks to the drop tail design the jersey remains sleek even when they're loaded up. The Women's Aero Pro Jersey is Castelli's most aerodynamically advanced design to date and yet it's also their best fitting too - Just ask their WorldTour professional riders. A remarkably comfortable high-performance cycling jersey whether it's your longest days in the saddle or a short and intense criterium race.
From Split Second to Aero 6.0 The original Castelli aero jersey for road racing first saw light in 2006. It was known as the Split Second jersey. It was at a time when aerodynamics was only really considered important for time trials. Baggy cycling jerseys were the norm until that very first Castelli aero focused jersey appeared. However, with every new version of the jersey, the aerodynamic advantages have proved to be worth far more than just a few split seconds. The Women’s Aero Pro Jersey is a female-specific version that gives an unrivalled level of performance. Using CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) to analyse wake-flow, the Women's Aero Pro will fit you even better when you're in an aggressive riding position while seam placement has been optimised to minimise drag. At speeds of between 30 and 55 km/h, the aerodynamic efficiency is optimised giving more speed without an increase of power output compared to a standard jersey. Same training. Same power. More speed. You could almost call it free speed. Cool and Fuelled Of course, riding fast, whether in training or racing, is going to generate heat. That, in turn, leads to sweat. However, the Aero Race 6.0 isn't just efficient through the air it's also efficient in dealing with moisture too. Quick wicking and with a 3D mesh back you'll be cooler and drier as you push hard on the pedals. To keep you up to speed and fully fuelled for your ride, the pockets are easily accessible when stuffed with gels and thanks to the drop tail design the jersey remains sleek even when they're loaded up. The Women's Aero Pro Jersey is Castelli's most aerodynamically advanced design to date and yet it's also their best fitting too - Just ask their WorldTour professional riders.

With the sun high in the sky, blue skies reaching to the horizon and the open road calling your name, the Women's Anima 3 Jersey keeps you superbly comfortable as you turn the pedals. The ProSecco Strada Donna does a brilliant job of managing moisture build-up, quickly wicking away perspiration before you feel any discomfort. However, should temperatures really spike upwards then the smooth-gliding YKK full-length zipper gives scope to easily boost airflow. Lastly, the trim fit provides the ideal balance between smooth airflow and comfort while giving a flattering silhouette. Practical cycling features aren't overlooked on the Anima either. The back of the jersey features 3 storage pockets, ideal to stash your energy bars and gels, an emergency gilet and even multi-tool. The drop tail with silicone elastic keeps your jersey in place and reflective piping gives you greater visibility as the light fades too - after all, there's nothing better than a sunset ride on those wonderfully long, warm days of summer.
The Women’s Anima 4 Jersey is an evolution of previous generations. This 4th generation has had a few cosmetic tweaks but the biggest upgrade comes via the update to the aforementioned ProSecco Velo Donna fabric. An Italian-made fabric, ProSecco Velo Donna feels wonderful to wear and has the quick-wicking and breathable performance needed to keep you comfortable when pushing on the pedals. The details also set this jersey apart from its entry-level rivals. Raised stitching details and discrete logos that offer visual appeal, an easy sliding zipper for easy ventilation control and reflective details that make you easy to spot as long summer evenings fade. Last, but by no means least, the fabric may be light in weight but with a UPF45, it filters out nearly 98% of harmful UV rays.

It also feels wonderful to wear and has the quick-wicking and breathable performance needed to keep you comfortable when pushing on the pedals.

High Mountains. High Heat. High Performance. The Women's Climber's 2.0 Jersey was born from the need to provide Castelli's pro riders with a jersey to keep them comfortable when racing in the high mountains in summer. While you may or may not be hitting those big peaks, you'll still enjoy the benefits this jersey gives across all terrains. The first thing to notice, or rather feel, is the brilliant fit. The careful tailoring gives a jersey that's sleek but also easy to move in, letting you dance on the pedals. Stay Cool. Stay Comfortable. Next comes the lack of weight and the cooling airflow from the super-light mesh-like fabrics. You’ll really appreciate these two features, maintaining comfort on the bike as you hit longer climbs and higher summer temperatures. A UV-protective back panel, blocking 90% of UV rays also makes sure you remain protected from the sun’s harmful rays. With a full-length zip, you also have easy control of extra airflow and ventilation to your core when you need it most. With the fabrics being quick drying too, you'll also avoid the shivers from cold sweat and wind chill as you plunge down the descent following the climb. For long days in the saddle, you'll want essentials close to hand. And here the 3 rear pockets provide ample space for spares, nutrition and an emergency vest or jacket. With the drop tail design of the Climber, the pockets are also perfectly placed while the jersey remains sleek and comfortable at the waist. Even if you’re not racing or tackling the searing heat and steep slopes of Alpine climbs this summer, you’ll still love and benefit from how cool, streamlined and light this jersey is. Light. Dry. Fast. Bring on summer cycling.
Castelli Special Editions Offering something just a little bit different from what you can find elsewhere, the Castelli Special Editions are a great way to bring some zing to your bike ride. The usual quality, fit and attention to detail are all there, combined with a mix of bright colours if you love to stand out or some more subtle designs for a timeless look. Classic Competizione Performance The Women's Club Sport Competizione Cycling Jersey is built upon the classic silhouette of the Women's Competizione jersey. This offers you an ideal balance of both comfort and performance, while the special edition print gives you fresh style too. To the front and back of the body, Castelli uses their Strada micromesh ventilated stretch fabric. The stretch fabric not only offers a great fit, but it's also brilliant for moisture management. Summer heat and summer fitness might soon get you building up a sweat as you pick up the pace, but this jersey ensures moisture doesn't hang around to cause you discomfort. Continuing with the theme of excellent fit and warm-weather performance, Castelli uses their Tailwind dimpled stretch fabric on shoulders, side panels, and pockets. This offers a streamlined fit and gives a welcome boost to ventilation on hot days. And should you find you need more airflow, the easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper makes it simple to regulate. A silicone waist gripper keeps the fit snug over your shorts while 3 rear pockets keep summer cycling essentials within easy reach.
When seeking to create a base layer for freezing cold days, Castelli’s design team turned to the insulating power of Polartec® Alpha®. What they found is that on its own it tended to feel a bit too damp and clammy for use as a stand-alone base layer. However, paired up with a quick-wicking base it offered superb warmth and comfort. The result is the Women’s Cold Days 2nd Layer Jersey. Thanks to Polartec® Alpha®, this cycling top is incredibly lightweight, soft and yet offers superb insulation against the cold. It certainly won't weigh you down or get in the way but still retains incredible levels of warmth. It’s the perfect mid-layer to complement your favourite winter base layer. Details have also been carefully designed for mid-layer comfort. A half-zip allows you to vent but lessens bulk over the torso. It's also slightly off-centre, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the zips on your outer jacket or jersey. The high neck offers a warm seal against the cold while the close fit lets you tuck it into your tights or leave it outside.
Castelli are renowned for beautifully constructed cycling jerseys that offer superb performance. The Women's Endurance Jersey is made to maintain that reputation, offering you that perfect mix of performance and stylish aesthetics. The body and sleeves use highly breathable ProSecco Air Donna fabric. This fabric uses polyester mesh to deal quickly and efficiently with sweat. It’s got plenty of stretch too, ensuring a flattering fit. Tone-on-tone elastic at the waist keeps the fit snug too, while long raw-cut sleeves are super-comfortable too. Three spacious pockets let you load up for long rides and an extra zipped pocket keeps valuables safe. And for rides that start or finish in low light, reflective tabs keep you visible.
The Original. Still the Best. First revolutionising wet-weather race kit back in 2010, the Women’s Gabba ROS 2 Jersey offers incredibly versatile performance across a wide range of cycling conditions. For cool weather and damp conditions, it excels. But it’s also breathable enough to keep you comfortable when it’s drier and milder. Powered by INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® So, what is it that makes the Women’s Gabba ROS 2 so versatile? First and foremost, it’s the Castelli exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. Across the front, sleeves and shoulders, INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 provides total wind protection, is highly water-resistant while the brushed inner face traps warmth. The back of the jersey uses a lighter and stretchy INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203. This prioritises enhanced breathability, delivering you comfort when temperatures and the pace rises. It’s water-repellent too, fending off road spray. Best. Now Better. Castelli have made a number of improvements to this 5th generation Gabba. The YKK® Vislon® front zipper is now two-way, letting you boost ventilation from both the top and the bottom. 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.
Castelli Special Collection With the promise of longer days and more opportunity to get out and ride, we're very happy to bring you a fabulous range of Special Collection Castelli cycling kit and accessories. They're the ideal choice to keep you comfortable and stylish on your bike. The Best Just Got Better When it comes to racing and training in the cold and wet the Women's Gabba jersey has always been a favourite, excelling thanks to the balance of breathability and weather-protection but Castelli, as always have improved the performance even further. The Gabba becomes Gabba ROS - Rain or Shine. Working with Gore they developed two unique GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ fabrics; fleece-backed windproof INFINIUM™ 205 is used to the front and gives a significant boost to rain protection while doing a brilliant job of keeping out cold winds and keeping in body heat. To the back, GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ 203 Stretch is lighter, more breathable but still remarkably water-repellent, a real improvement on the previous Gabba, ensuring you don't feel the dreaded clamminess of sweat build-up. Taped shoulder seams also boost performance in the rain. The Gabba ROS, Rain or Shine, is now more waterproof, more breathable and better fitting than ever, letting you laugh in the face of foul weather. It's the Details that Count Details also count when you're cycling through the cold and wet. The YKK® Vislon® zipper is covered to keep out the elements, a dropped tail, with a large reflective panel, keeps wheel spray off and boosts visibility as daylight fades and the two larger rear pockets make accessing essentials easier, even with gloves on - no more fumbling for all important gels. It's difficult to improve upon a classic but that never stops Castelli from trying. With their Limited Edition Gabba Rain or Shine, they have pushed cycling performance to new heights yet again, letting you enjoy the ride no matter what mother nature has in store
