Tempesta kit – Maximum rain protection

NEVER MISS A DAY DUE TO RAIN That’s the idea around Tempesta. It’s a head-to-toe group of products that are made to work together so that you can ride in the worst possible conditions. It’s made for serious riding, not just surviving. So you can do your interval workout or ride hard and fast, without overheating and without a jacket that billows in the wind. Visit the Castelli website for more details on the full Tempesta kit.

PEZ review: Tempesta and Nano Flex wet weather gear

Castelli’s new Tempesta line promises 100% waterproof protection with lightweight, extreme weather gear made from new fabrics from eVent & OutDry – here’s a closer look. By Richard Pestes, PezCyclingNews.com I talked to Castelli’s top product dawg Steve Smith while he was driving to his home in Bassano del Grappa on the same road where Fausto Coppi lost the 1950 Giro after touching wheels with another rider caused him to crash and break his hip. Living in Europe & Italy for many years has allowed Steve enviable exposure to road cycling in the sport’s heartland. It’s also given him easy access to the best textile mills and makers of technical fabrics, and daily access to the factory where he can oversee production of new items. It boils down to ‘zero-loss’ from concept to design to production. And that’s a big reason why Castelli has become so successful in the category. Another reason is that they just keep on pushing the envelope and setting new boundaries for performance cycling apparel. The newest wet weather line in stores now for winter, is the Tempesta line. The Tempesta jacket, Nano Flex Pro Bibtight, Tempesta gloves and shoecovers. I shot this with a flash, ...

gabba, jersey, kit, Perfetto, Product talk, Tempesta - September 3, 2015

Better than the Gabba? The Perfetto Jersey has been launched.

The Gabba jersey have grabbed the headlines and forged a well-earned reputation for its cold and wet weather properties in recent years, the lightweight version (25 percent lighter, and with more breathability for milder conditions) of the Gabba jersey was launched at Eurobike. This article was originally published by RoadcyclingUK The Gabba might have grabbed the headlines over the past few years, but Castelli have an impressive range of other jackets to cater for every meteorological scenario. The Perfetto was one of two wet weather pieces launched at the Eurobike show along with the Tempesta waterproof rain jacket. First, the Perfetto, which is essentially a Gabba-lite. Whereas the full-blown Gabba, which combines a windproof, water resistant and breathable fabric with a race-ready, aero cut, is designed for cool to cold conditions, the Perfetto is designed for when it’s still damp, but the temperature is a little milder. The Castelli Perfetto is essentially a lightweight version of the Gabba With lower weight comes claims of improved breathability, while the jersey is also more compact and Castelli say it can be stowed in a pocket if, say, you were to wear it over a typical, lightweight short sleeve jersey. Pair the Perfetto with Castelli’s excellent water resistant Nanoflex arm warmers and you should have ...

Castelli have been the masters of wet weather gear for a number of years now with the renowned Gabba jersey and for 2016 they have added a new Gabba model for milder days, the Perfetto Light Short Sleeve. With better breathability, lighter and more easily packable into a jersey pocket when removed but still having great weather protection this is one jersey that is certainly going to be a big hit amongst pros and amateurs alike. Still on the bad weather theme Castelli have introduced a very classy new jacket, the Tempesta Race Jacket. Cut in a similar style to the Gabba this jacket sits very close to the skin and is much more aerodynamic than a standard rainjacket and has been successfully used by the guys at MTN-Qhubeka and Cannondale-Garmin this season. Combined with the Tempesta jacket are some overshorts which are a totally new concept in cycling. Similar to overpants used in motorcycle circles these are designed to go over the top of your bibshorts ...
