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 Core Mesh 3 Sleeveless Base Layer Top White

Great vest but size on small size

I'm 178cm and 72kg and find castelli medium clothing to fit well; however I needed a large to extra large for this base layer top.

Castelli Diluvio C Long Gloves Black

Great glove for 5 to 15 degrees

Kept hands nice and warm but not so breathable and hands do get a bit sweaty.

Castelli Nelmezzo RoS Rosso Corsa Jersey Metallic Dark Blue

Best version yet

Great jersey as usual from Castelli. Warm and best yet, not bulky BUT soft and bendable fit. Color is a hair lighter than the photos but looks great! I’m 6’3” and 200lbs XL fit was just right.
