One of the most outstanding achievementsby this Italian brand was the development of the first aerodynamic Lycra racing shorts, in 1977, which were immediately popular in cycling shops. Another important innovation attributed to Castelli was the use of sublimation techniques to print logos and all kinds of graphics and colours on Castelli jerseys. All of the collections by this brand feature a wide range of both men's cycling clothing and women's cycling clothing.
More recently the brand has made its mark for other innovations, such as the development of the Castelli Perfetto jacket or the Castelli Gabba Jacket, which feature an extraordinary fusion of a short-sleeved jersey and windproof garment, combined with a pair of highly technical sleeves. Such is the success of this garment that other products with similar features are known as a "Gabba".
Castelli Cycling Jerseys
Both Castelli long and short sleeved jerseys are fundamentally aerodynamic garments designed for racing, but also for staying cool on a cycling tour. The Unlimited collection is made up of hard-wearing garments that offer a slightly looser fit than the rest of the jersey range. The Trail collection has an even more relaxed fit and, as the name suggests, is ideal for MTB routes. This collection is also suitable for gravel.
The Castelli Aero collection is designed to suit the fastest riders in the peloton, while the Castelli Superleggera collection of jerseys offers maximum performance in very hot climates. The Climbers jersey series is also designed for high temperatures, allowing ample airflow, while protecting riders from UV rays.
And underneath the Castelli jerseys there is always the highly recommended possibility of wearing a lightweight Castelli baselayer, from the wide range available in the Italian brand’s extensive catalogue.
Castelli Cycling Jackets
Another highly sought-after garment in the Castelli range is the jacket, which offers all kinds of technical solutions for riding comfort, in the least favourable weather conditions. There is a Castelli jacket for every cycling discipline, both for the highest level of competition and for less intense cycling routes.
For mild climates a jacket, such as the Castelli Mortirollo, may provide sufficient protection. Another good option, if temperatures are not too low, is the Castelli Go Jacket, made from Castelli's lightest fabric, Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper. For colder climates, the Castelli Perfetto Jacket is ideal thanks to the technical fabrics that protect against wind and water while maintaining good breathability. Several Castelli jackets offer protection against the rain, such as the Castelli Alpha Ros 2 Jacket. We've already mentioned the innovative waterproof and short sleeved Castelli Gabba jersey jacket, an icon by this brand, but also perfect for a dry day. The fifth generation of this garment is complemented by the versatile Castelli Nano Flex sleeves
A good layering system is always recommended, especially in winter. As a base layer, it is best to choose a good Castelli thermal jersey, based on the range of temperatures you will be facing. In addition, there are other complementary garments such as Castelli's wide and versatile range of windproof jackets.
We have only mentioned a few of the jackets from the Castelli range, but many more are available for purchase on our website.
Castelli Cycling Shorts and Pants
Thanks to the experience gained in competition, Castelli cycling shorts are very popular with all types of cyclists. The quality and innovative designs of Castelli cycling shorts are highly valued by cyclists looking for the best clothing for long cycling routes.
Like the jerseys, the Unlimited range includes trousers for disciplines such as MTB and gravel. These lightweight garments are also for urban and sports use. Other options are models such as the Castelli Milano shorts and the Castelli VG 5 trousers. In the VG 5 range there are also Castelli long trousers for more urban use.
The cycling shorts collection includesCastelli shorts with or without braces. The Castelli Superleggera collection represents cycling shorts developed to withstand high temperatures. For gravel and long distance Castelli offers the Castelli Free Unlimited bib shorts with pockets. The Castelli Free Aero bib shorts offer a perfect compromise between comfort and speed. The Castelli Competizione range offers high performance shorts at a very competitive price.
The brand also offers a wide range of Castelli long tights. Depending on your needs, there are various ranges such as the economical Castelli Entrata tight, which is warm and comfortable, or the high-performance Castelli Free Aero.
Other Castelli Cycling Garments
Castelli is well known for the garments we have mentioned here, but there are many more products by this brand, related to cycling equipment. Castelli also produces Castelli socks, Castelli gloves, Castelli headgear, Castelli sleeves, Castelli leg warmers, Castelli shoe covers, etc. And within each of these categories there are many designs for every need, depending on the cycling discipline and the conditions the cyclist has to face.
Castelli always has a solution for all types of cyclists, regardless of age, gender and discipline. For specialities such as triathlon, Castelli has developed advanced garments of all kinds, such as its aerodynamicsuits, specific for each of the disciplines and distances.
The brand has not forgotten about Castelli children's cycling clothing either, with some references in its catalogue, such as the Castelli Future Racer Kids Bib Shorts.
