Idro Jacket – Ready for Anything

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. Now you don’t have to choose between a small jacket or a protective one to carry with you. We gave it a close-to-body race fit and functional details like the YKK® waterproof Vislon® zipper and a zipped opening to access your jersey pockets.

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 ...

SUPER NANO Glove. This one’s designed for cool-but-not cold temps, but is a really light-weight full fingered glove, and I’ve found them really well suited to 7-10C degree (45-50F) temperature days.

Performance • I like this glove for cool Spring & Fall days where you need full fingers. They do tend to run warm – and kept me toastier than any other glove I have in this weight category. Overall they’re very comfortable. The light and stretchy cuff seals snugly and softly around the wrist, and tucks in neatly under a jacket or jersey sleeve.

PAVE BIBTIGHT
Living in Vancouver I’ve been looking for a bib tight suitable for my wet, rainy winters. So far the search has been fruitless unless I wanted to pull on a pair of waterproof rain pants over my tights. I’ll admit my ego would rather I got wet than be seen riding around in baggy rain pants. Then I caught sight of Castelli’s Pave Bibs and started bugging them for a review pair.
