Let's start in reverse order: Run: At this point in the race, fatigue sets in. You'll love the comfort of this suit. The front Samremo opening construction doesn't pull you forward, and you can open it up when you feel too hot. The fabrics are quick drying, light and cool. The seat pad that felt so good on the bike is small enough you hardly feel it. The two rear pockets compress your gels so they don't bounce around. The long legs with Giro4 leg gripper elastic don't ride up and don't bind. Maybe you'll even notice that you don't have as many burning spots where you've been chafed raw. Somehow, you're thinking that comfort gives you an extra push, some extra speed. Bike: You relish these couple of hours to put some distance into the other women. This suit benefits from the aero research of Castelli's Pro PR suit but is tuned for speeds ranging from medium to high. The legs and sleeves provide excellent coverage while the back gives decent sun protection and the two pockets hold plenty of nutrition. And you appreciate the Castelli know-how in seat pad construction. Put your head down and pass a few more riders. Swim: The reduced seaming and long arms and legs help you cut through the water while the pockets lie flat and don't catch water. The fit is snug and the lightweight fabrics don't hold as much water. The shoulder area is extra stretchy for freedom of movement even under a wetsuit or swimskin.

Castelli's best all-around long-distance race suit but in a sleeveless version. This suit trades the on-bike aerodynamic advantages of sleeves for the comfort and cooling of a sleeveless top. Everything else is full race performance. The short portion is built around comfort, with compressive fabrics for muscle support, the GIRO4 leg gripper that holds the leg securely in place without the dreaded sausage effect, and the KISS Tri seat pad that provides good padding and comfort on the bike yet is hardly noticeable on the run. The upper portion features the Castelli Sanremo overlapping front opening to optimize fit during the swim and run when you're fully stretched out, while avoiding folds when hunched over in the bike position. There are two generous rear pockets, and the armholes have been constructed to reduce chafing during the run. If you're not fighting for the win or a Kona slot, maybe the comfort-aerodynamics trade-off is worth it.
Speeding to the Future The original road-racing speed suit was first unveiled in 2011 at Paris Roubaix, the ultimate cobbled classic. From that moment on, the approach to competition-focused cycling kit changed. This Sanremo RC Speed Suit has evolved from that original speed suit. It combines the advanced aerodynamics of the cutting-edge Castelli Aero Race 6 Jersey and the incredible comfort and supportive fit of their Free Aero RC Bib Shorts. The convenience of separate shorts and jersey but with an integrated design that delivers race-winning aerodynamics. Using CFD analysis, Castelli’s engineers have precisely placed seams and low-drag fabrics where they are most effective at maintaining aero efficiency. The most meaningful gains are to be found in the range of 30 to 55 km/h. Uncompromised Comfort With speed comes intense effort. And hence heat. And sweat. However, highly breathable and quick-wicking materials to regulate your body temperature to prevent overheating and deal quickly with moisture. The 3D mesh back, in particular, is quick to draw moisture off the skin and allow unimpeded airflow to speed up sweat evaporation. As befits a suit for use on the road, you have the benefit of storage pockets. Perfect for storing an energy gel or energy bar. Both sleeves and leg grippers get a raw-cut finish for the smoothest and most comfortable fit. The leg grippers stay put without the need for silicone too. Progetto X2 Air Seamless Seat Pad The first contact point against the skin is the super-soft upper skin-care material. It's now seamless and even softer than previous generation pads. The next layer, Castelli’s infinitely variable thickness padding, imparts just the right level of support where you need it - thicker under the sit bones and thinner on the sides and under the perineum. The results are outstanding comfort with reduced bulk. Lastly, to really push home superior comfort levels, perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ischial and perineum pressure areas, offering luxurious support when you're on the saddle for hours on end.
