Idro Jacket – Product testing near the office

Finally, the miracle jacket is here. At only 123 grams it offers full Gore-Tex® waterproof protection, the most breathable Gore-Tex® ever made and permanent water repellency — and it all folds down to fill just half a pocket.

Rolling Travel Bag – Video Teaser

Castelli Race Bags, the art of packing. All successful pros have to master the art of packing a rain bag very early in their careers. For the pros, the rain bag is a vital piece of equipment in which they stash all the clothes and accessories that will keep them warmer or drier if the weather turns nasty. Riders will fall back to the team car and ask for gloves, jackets or booties, and then the mechanic in the car will have to be able to find the right pieces very quickly. As I learned when I was a pro, preparation and organization are essential. This bag is one of my favorite products because the red lining and all the mesh pockets make it extremely easy to find everything when you need it. The flip-open top with zip mesh pockets is a great idea that solves the problem of trying to find small accessories in the bottom of a bag. Even though I don’t put my Race Rain Bag into the team car anymore, it is still a great way to keep extra clothes, accessories and shoes organized for everyday training or when I am traveling.

Omloop Thermal Bib Short – Pro innovation

We first saw this back in 2009 when our Cervélo TestTeam rider Jeremy Hunt rode the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in knee warmers that he had cut to knee length. It took six years for it to catch on, but we saw half a dozen or so riders starting the 2015 Omloop with that same look. So we engineered a fabric that lets us leave a soft raw edge at the back of the knee that won’t cut into you, and we started riding prototypes. Once again the guys who do this for a living have come up with a new way to dress. It’s significantly warmer than a thermal short but doesn’t feel overdressed like a knicker. At the Belgian classics we’ve seen the pros cutting off their knee warmers to have a thermal layer just to the knee. So we made up some shorts to ride in and quickly realized that the pros are onto something. It feels significantly warmer than a thermal short but without the restriction of 3/4 knickers. We developed a soft raw-cut edge so it’s not going to cut into the back of your knee. Plus it looks very pro. Long socks required.
