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.

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.

A glimpse into the future – The Vela Vest

Using technology from another tough sport. The incredible light weight and compactibility of the Vela Vest comes from leading sailmaking fabric from America’s Cup racing. This wind- and waterproof fabric uses Dyneema® yarns for near-bulletproof strength. ULTRA LIGHT, WINDPROOF, WATERPROOF AND INDESTRUCTIBLE The Dyneema® fabric comes straight from sailing, where ultralight weight and extreme tensile strength come together in a sport where cost doesn’t matter. Only winning matters. You’ve seen Dyneema® as the white core yarns in rock-climbing ropes, and it’s also used in bulletproof vests. For riding in cool or cold conditions, it’s extremely difficult to beat the practicality of a g reat lightweight vest. 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 ...
