When Castelli engineered the first aero jersey for road racing back in 2006, everyone thought we were crazy. Back then, aero was only for TTs. Performance clothing meant moisture management. And you could win the Tour de France with a baggy jersey that was little more than a polyester T-shirt. Even our aerodynamic consultants expected limited gains, so we named the jersey Split Second, though, like now, we thought even small gains were worth pursuing. In the end the gains were pretty substantial, and we completely revolutionized the look of the pro peloton. We're now on the sixth major revision of our aero jersey. Each generation has become more aero and better fitting. The Aero Race 6.0 benefits heavily from CFD analysis of wake flow in the riding position for fabric and seam placement. It also benefits from pro riders' feedback, as we've worked to make the jersey comfortable for their long hours of training and then racing in every possible weather condition.

Castelli Aero Race 6.0 Cycling JerseyOriginally designed to save split seconds in road races, Castelli created the aero road race jersey category. The sixth-generation Castelli Aero Race 6.0 Cycling Jersey now gives significant aero advantages, leading to gains that hugely eclipse those offered by the original Castelli aero jerseysFree Speed The name of Castelli's very first aero-focused cycling jersey was the Split Second, launched in 2006. It caused quite a stir when it first appeared as until then performance cycle jerseys were about efficient moisture management with little consideration of progress through the air. The Aero Race 6.0 Cycling Jersey has the DNA of that aero jersey but with modern CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) to analyse wake-flow, it's so much more efficient at reducing drag, honed for speeds between 30 and 55 km/h.Less drag equals more speed for the same power output. Faster without more training. Now that's an advantage worth having. Cool ComfortIt's not just aerodynamically efficient though. Moisture build-up is also dealt with rapidly and with ruthless efficiency. All fabrics are quick-wicking and a 3D mesh back, similar to their high-performance base layers, ensures you're kept cool and dry as you build up speed. All the effort to go fast will mean you need you to keep fuelled. Fear not, the Aero Race 6.0 has space for all your nutrition via the easy to reach back pockets. The drop tail design keeps them perfectly in position and minimises sagging when they're loaded up too. The Aero Race 6.0 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.Features:Materials: 82% Polyester, 18%ElastaneCFD-based fabric placement and seam constructionEngineered for aero efficiency at 30 to 55 km/hAirflow shoulder constructionVelocity Rev2 fabric on front and sleeve3D mesh back for breathabilityElbow-length stretch sleeves with raw-cut edgeYKK® Vislon® zipperDrop tail allows perfect pocket placement while keeping jersey fitting well at the waistWeight: 109gSuggested Temperature range: 18 to 35 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Castelli Alpha ROS 2 JacketPart of their Rain or Shine range, the Castelli Alpha ROS 2 Jacket is an adaptable and protective cycling jacket suited to a wide range of weather conditions. Great in the cold and dry weather, protective in warmer and wetter weather, it lives up to the Rain or Shine moniker. This third generation of the Alpha ROS 2 Jacket is the best yet. Updates include improved fabrics to give a boost to performance in the wet as well as enhancing breathability while new double-layer cuffs work better with winter gloves. And it still retains the innovative double-layer construction that makes it so good in so many cycling conditions. Rain Out. Warmth in. Dressing for changeable weather is always tricky. Too warm. Not warm enough. Lots of layers. Rain jacket. It's all a bit much sometimes. However, the Alpha ROS 2 is best in class for your cold, dry days on the bike.
