Climbers jersey: Made for racing in hot weather

Athletes racing at the highest level of the sport provide the most demanding proving ground for Castelli. When RCS Sport contacted Castelli to supply the Dubai Tour leaders’ jerseys, the race organizers said they wanted a lightweight and next-to-nothing jersey for hot desert temperatures, with no fabric flapping in the wind when the peloton headed into dusty crosswind sections.

The riders of Team Garmin-Sharp have been reaping the lightweight aero benefits of the Climbers Jersey for more than two years, so it wasn’t difficult to pick the right innovative product model from our Speed Research Unit.

GSSuper light weight and fast drying Strada Light 3D mesh.

The Climbers Jersey is designed for racing in the mountains or in hot weather. The jersey is made from our super-lightweight Strada Light 3D mesh and an aero Velocity fabric, and it’s cut to hug the torso and eliminate any excess fabric flapping when battling the wind. It’s 139 grams of next to nothing, it’s our quickest-drying jersey ever, and it saves 8 watts at 40 km/h compared to a standard cycling jersey.

One of the jersey’s advantages is that it absorbs hardly any water. After all, what good would a lightweight jersey be if it soaked up water like a standard jersey? So it’s light whether wet or dry, plus the fabric is knit as a mesh, which all but guarantees coolness when you’re moving and can get some wind blowing over your body. A full-length front zipper allows for maximum temperature regulation in hot weather.
