NOT YOUR NORMAL REMOVABLE-SLEEVE JACKET We went back to the design table to come up with a better way to make a removable-sleeve jacket and in the process created a brilliantly versatile jacket. The zippers sit just above the elbow and cover 3/4 of the circumference of the arm. With the sleeves in place, you have Castelli's top-performing Perfetto RoS long-sleeve jacket. Remove the sleeves and you have a real Gabba to wear with your Nano Flex arm warmers. The zippers are covered so you don't see them from the outside or feel them from the inside. For Winter 2019 the Perfetto Convertible gets the RoS treatment: Rain or Shine. The same breathability and fit you've come to expect from the Perfetto, but now with significantly improved rain protection, including seam sealing on the shoulders. We've also differentiated the fabrics so you get extra warmth on forward-facing surfaces and lighter stretch on rear-facing surfaces. We always thought a jacket that becomes a vest is kinda useless. But a jacket that becomes a Gabba ... that's brilliant. - Zips just above elbows to allow use as long- or short-sleeve jacket - Castelli exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM 205 Warm brushed waterproof fabric on front-facing surfaces - GORE-TEX INFINIUM 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for extra stretch and breathability - Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection - YKK Vislon zipper for easy sliding, covered for extra wind and rain protection - Zippered ventilation opening on side of chest - 2 rear pockets with pump sleeve are easily accessed with gloved hands - Gabba-style dropped tail with large black reflective panel - 4°-16°C / 39°-61°F - Weight: 322g

Our Sorpasso tight is our workhorse performance tight for the cyclist who rides seriously right through the winter months. With the Sorpasso Wind we add a GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER fleece-backed panel covering your most sensitive parts as well as your thigh muscles to keep them at ideal operating temperature. While many wind tights will sacrifice fit or comfort or breathability for that wind protection, the two-way stretch of this fabric combined with careful patterning makes for minimal compromise and maximum comfort. Everything else on this tight represents our commitment to performance and comfort: the non-windproof parts are in Nano Flex 3G and Nano Flex Xtra Dry to provide stretch, warmth, breathability, and our proprietary water-repellent finish. They're the best tights fabrics we've developed to date. The seat pad is our top-of-the-line Progetto X2 Air for comfort on long rides, and the bib construction is designed for comfort as well. Large reflective panels at the back of the ankle provide moving reflectivity that is more noticeable to approaching cars. This is the tight for you if subfreezing temperatures aren't going to hold you back. - Nano Flex 3G fabric for our best mix of warmth, stretchy compression, softness and water repellency - GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER X-Fast fleece-backed fabric panel on the upper front and thighs for extra warmth - Nano Flex 3G back panel to protect from road spray - Anatomic cut to hips and knee - Reflective inserts for maximum visibility from behind - Lie-flat elastic bib straps - YKK Camlock zippers at ankles

This will also be your go-to tight for dry conditions. It's a no-compromise piece for all your cool-weather riding. It's not just about the fabric, though. This is a serious training tight, so it gets our Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad. For total protection in the high-splash area of the inner leg, we use a fully reflective waterproof fabric that adds a high degree of nighttime safety to this tight. The tight is constructed with the bare minimum of seaming, which helps keep the rain out and also makes it more comfortable. This is the best all-around tight that we know how to make with today's technology. - Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric brings a higher level of water protection and warmth - Double-face knit keeps you warmer because less wind comes in - Reflective waterproof splash guards on inside of lower legs - Double layer over backside protects from water coming off rear wheel - Fewer seams to reduce the chance of water coming in - Lie-flat bib construction - Progetto X2 Air Seamless pad for long hours in the saddle

Introducing the next generation of MILLE bib shorts—building on the iconic GT Total Comfort formula with a double-layer insert and more responsive, compressive textile. Why we made it GTS marks the introduction of the second generation of MILLE—an all-new bib short that builds on the iconic GT shorts’ Total Comfort formula with its plush double-layer insert, fatigue-reducing textile, and revamped fit. We’ve engineered it for committed riders looking for added comfort during training to everyday riders seeking maximum long-distance support.

Innovative evolution The Free Aero RC Bibshort is our top race short, which also means that it's insanely comfortable even if you never pin on a number. It's fair to say that we've been working on this short for the past 15 years. That's how long it's been since the original free aero race bibshort was first introduced, initially as our top-of-the-line race short. Since then it has won three Tours de France, three Gri d'Italia, one Vuelta, and San Remo, but it also became the best-selling product in the history of Castelli because, simply put, this is the short that does everything well. The concept is quite simple: start with the best pad we know how to make, surround it with a supportive short with good muscle compression, and then remove everything else that's not absolutely necessary. You feel free thanks to the reduced number of panels and the reduced number of seams. In fact, the short portion has just 5 panels compared to 10 in the previous generation. You feel free because of further refinements to the Progetto X2 air seamless seat pad. The two densities of foam plus the gel pads provide progressive damping, while the separate skincare layer is soft and stretchy to move with your skin. You feel free thanks to the most minimal bibs you've ever seen in a short, including open-weave straps for maximum airflow. But we reinforced the yoke so the straps stay in place and made the mesh back narrow for coverage that is minimal yet just enough to hold the shorts in place. And the bib elegantly frames a convenient pocket at the center back. You feel free because this is the first high-end short that doesn't need any sort of gripper or elastic at the end of the leg to keep the leg in place. Getting this right meant 28 prototypes and our most extensive test program ever, and it results in the most comfortable leg ending we've ever made. The Forza 2 fabric has 32% lycra with a high modulus for exceptional muscle support and just the right amount of compression. There's reflective piping on the back. And all logos are either stitched or embossed for durability. - High-compression 215g Forza 2 fabric with 32% lycra content provides exceptional muscle support and compression - Progetto X2 air seamless seat pad is soft against the skin but well padded for long-distance comfort - Minimalist bib straps allow maximum airflow, while a reinforced yoke keeps the straps flat over the shoulders - Rear mesh pocket - 5-panel construction for reduced seams and less chafing - Sublimation-printed graphic and logos that will never peel, crack, or fade - Reflective piping on back of legs - Soft waistband with raw-cut edge panels for extra stretch and comfort - Raw-cut leg ending engineered to stay put without silicone grippers

Every cyclist needs that ultimate tight that can get them out the door when the mercury dips. We achieved this by combining our latest generation AmFIB® softshell and thermal fleece fabrics for a superior fit. AmFIB softshell covers and protects the front of the leg, the seat, and the Achilles tendon areas from the elements, while thermal fleece fabric on the back of the legs and knees insulates and provides great breathability. Raw-edge bib straps reduce bulk and improve layering comfort. PI Dry® permanent water-repellent technology sheds precipitation and helps keep the dual-density Levitate™ Plus chamois dry. BioViz® reflective elements appear on the back of the calves, high enough for visibility above any shoe covers or booties, as well as on the hip. FEATURES: - Pedal to Zero™: Going by bike 31mi / 50km offsets the climate impact of this garment - Ultra-soft AmFIB® softshell fabric with membrane protects from wind and water - Made with recycled content - Brushed thermal fleece lining - PI Dry® technology for permanent water-shedding performance - Dual-density Levitate™ Plus chamois pad reduces friction for all-day comfort - BioViz® reflective elements for low-light visibility FABRIC: - 89% Recycled Polyester, 11% Elastane / 56% Recycled Nylon, 30% Recycled Polyester, 14% Lycra® Elastane
