Climber’s Women Jersey – Incredibly light

This jersey started life as a lightweight jersey to make climbing easier. But it turned out to be ideal for hot weather, and, surprisingly, it’s very good in cool weather or even rain (under a vest or jacket) because it has absolutely minimal moisture absorption. The inner lining keeps it modest and adds a nice desgin detail to one of our most technical jerseys ever. The Climber’s W Jersey is available in stores and online. Discover all the details here.

GREAT FOR A WIDE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES There’s so much to love about this jacket. Most importantly, it’s really warm, but if it gets too warm then you can just open the outer layer without getting too cold too fast. The fabrics are really soft, and it’s so light you don’t feel like you’re wearing an old-style bulky jacket. The Alpha W Jacket is available in stores and online.

Boasting 28 years of experience designing sports and fashion clothing, Maria Teresa brings with her a wealth of style and knowledge and it’s her work that you see dotted over the country lanes every weekend and patrolling the streets at key commuting hours. With their tag line ‘An Unfair Advantage’ we know that Castelli mean business, and it’s fair to say that their wet weather gear is renowned for being the most effective around.
