Castelli

Castelli was founded in the heart of Milan in 1876 by a fine tailor named Vittore Gianni. Over the years, Vittore Gianni dressed AC Milan, Juventus and the Milan ballet. The first garments for cycling were made for the three time World Champion and five time winner of the Giro, Alfredo Binda. Maurizio Castelli was born in 1948, and grew up following the careers of Fausto Coppi, a close friend of Maurizio's father and who at that time was the owner of Vittore Gianni's company. Coppi always wore Vittore Gianni's clothes, including the first silk suits designed specifically for Fausto to use in the time trials. Remember that famous photo of Coppi and Bartali sharing a bottle of water while climbing the Col d'Izoard? Yes, both are wearing Castelli jerseys. After a brief but promising career in the world of cycling, Maurizio created his homonymous brand in 1974 and with it a great number of innovations: the first Lycra for shorts used in racing and for sale to the public, the first coloured shorts, the first top printed by sublimation, the first synthetic clothing for winter, the first to use windproof membranes, the first to perform hydrophilic fabric treatments, the first anatomic seat pad, the lightest jersey to date, and the most aerodynamic jersey ever produced. Maurizio had the vision of being at the forefront of technology, performance and design. Today, Castelli are dedicated to continuing Maurizio's dream: to create the most innovative clothing for cyclists seeking maximum performance.

Castelli Pro Glove Rosso Corsa Metallic Blue

good and snug fit

I was afraid of the sizing so i used the measurement from castello and it works like a dream. They also seem to fit tight but in a pleasent way.

Castelli Free Tri Itu Rosso Corsa Sleeveless Tri Suit Green Black

Not tri (ed) yet

Not put this baby to use yet but am really impressed. I use Castelli cycle gear and so jumped at this in the sale. Brighter colour than the picture shows. Fit is snug and free moving, deep arm cut outs. Back split pocket and 2 hip pockets for gels. Will wait and see how it performs but makes me feel fast just trying it on. I’m 178cm 75kg and large is a bang on snug fit, not tight. Sure xl would also suit but a touch less skin tight.

Castelli Diluvio C 16 Overshoes Blue

Great Quality

My husband had a pair of these already bought over 12 months ago. He has recently managed to damage them and was really quite gutted as they’re a great pair of overshoes, so went on a search to find another pair.

Jacket Castelli Gabba 2 Windstopper Rosso Corsa pink woman

Castelli perfection

A fantastic Castell jersey - I already have the long-sleeved version in the same colour and I love it so much I couldn't resist the short sleeve version for warmer weather. The windstopper fabric is amazingly breathable so you don't overheat on climbs or chill down rapidly on descents. It is also shower proof (although I haven't yet tested it in heavy rain). I am a UK size 8-10 - lean but with broad shoulders and ribcage. The small size is close-fitting but very flattering - I have tried on a medium but that felt too loose around the waist. The Perfecto/Gabba jerseys I have (3 now!) are the first choice in my cycling wardrobe - adaptable for many different weather conditions with baselayers/arm warmers. Highly recommended.
