Potenza Jersey – More than a jersey but not quite a jacket

LIGHTWEIGHT, BUT HEAVY ON PROTECTION This jersey opens up an entirely new category of cool weather clothing. All the windproof fabrics are amazing at keeping the cold out, but even with the best of them you get wet inside when the intensity picks up. We set out to make a jersey that’s significantly warmer than your traditional thermal jersey but that can maintain some airflow to prevent perspiration buildup on the inside.

The Chpt./// uses premium fabrics quality fabric materials, notably in the super light jersey and in the Rocka. Chpt.///’s version of the popular Gabba jersey. The designs take their greatest inspiration from tailoring.

Introducing the Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

OFF-SEASON, TIME FOR FOCUS AND BASE BUILDING The season is long: it extends from February to the middle of October. There are only three quiet months left for race-weary riders to enjoy the quiet company of their own breathing or 
the joking banter of a stress-free training ride. This is the time to put in the work to make next season your best yet.   VICTORIES ARE EARNED WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING Victories are earned when no one is watching, and that means putting in the training no matter what weather you’re stuck with. Castelli’s singular goal is to make you faster. Our cold-weather collection lets you dress for any conditions, from extreme cold and rain right up till you’re back in your shorts and jersey next summer. The Best of Winter’16 is about never missing a day due to bad weather. Discover More: Castelli-cycling.com

Elementproof materials that keep the wind and rain off in preserving your overall comfort when the temperature drops or when descending. With the Vela Vest you get front wind protection and significant water protection in a piece that folds down to almost nothing when you stash it in your pocket. The Vela is designed for a snug race fit, and it fits best when in the riding position. The vest’s Dyneema® sailcloth front is windproof and waterproof to protect your core, while breathable DWR-finished stretch woven side panels prevents heat from getting trapped in ...
