Castelli was born out of a passion for cycling. For over 100 years, the Italian brand with the scorpion logo has combined innovation and tradition with an elegance typical of Italian fashion. Castelli's roots go back to 1876, when the exquisite Milanese tailor Vittore Gianni used to provide clothing for the players of AC Milan and Juventus Turin. Signore Gianni first produced Castelli cycling clothing in 1910 and equipped the world champion and five-time winner of the Giro d'Italia Alfredo Binda with a high-quality Castelli cycling jersey and Castelli shorts. Armando Castelli bought the company in 1939 and soon after, cycling legends like Gino Bartali and Fausto Coppi put their trust in Castelli cycling clothing. Since then, Castelli has revolutionised the look of the pro peloton on several occasions, be it in 1977 with the first castelli bib shorts made of highly-elastic synthetic fibres, in 1984 with the first functional thermal cycling apparel like castelli bib tights and gloves or in 2013 with the legendary Castelli rain jacket Gabba. The Italians have surprised the cycling and triathlon world time and again with new, intelligent technology and revolutionary approaches, resulting from working very closely with major professional teams and top athletes. Castelli's huge range of high-quality baselayers, Castelli jerseys, bib tights and Castelli jackets for men and women is complemented by an equally large range of all the accessories you could think of, such as cycling caps, socks and cycling gloves.
Castelli Jerseys, Bib Shorts, Jackets & More: Classics and Innovations
Castelli's mission is to make cycling clothing that provides both comfort and the greatest possible gain. So many innovations devised by the Milanese company have now become standard in cycling clothing, and the legendary Castelli Gabba short-sleeve jersey opened up a whole new category of clothing. Thanks to its success, the jersey has been imitated many times. The Perfetto Long Sleeve jersey and the Perfetto Convertible Jacket, a Castelli rain jacket with detachable sleeves, make perfect additions to the Castelli Gabba jersey. With a Castelli gilet or wind jacket to boot, you’ll be perfectly equipped if the weather suddenly turns bad.
Castelli has named their gravel collection Unlimited. Equipped with the latest technology, Castelli jerseys and Castelli bib shorts are particularly resistant to tears caused by branches and thorns and provide increased protection in the event of slips on gravel or grit.
For colder days, the Italian brand has developed jerseys, gilets, winter jackets, Castelli bib tights, overshoes and gloves as part of their "Rain or Shine" (RoS) range. Their all-weather clothing focuses on providing just the right amount of ventilation, breathability and rain and wind protection, which makes for superior levels of comfort, especially in between seasons.

Getting the right men’s or women’s Castelli cycling shorts is often a determining factor for whether you feel comfortable or not in the saddle. The Castelli Bibshort Premio 2 is considered the most comfortable product in the range for long distances, whilst the Castelli Free Aero Race 4 Bibshort is the benchmark for the ultimate in racewear and the Castelli Superleggera cycling shorts are particularly suitable for cycling in high temperatures thanks to their cooling mesh material. Velocissimo cycling shorts are another major classic from Castelli. As true all-rounders, they provide comfort on long tours as well as on all-important race days.
Castelli Seat Pads: For Every Cycling Challenge
The Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad has been designed to fit your body. It is Castelli's flagship and consists of a soft and completely seamless outer material to reduce the risk of chafing. Two layers and varying thicknesses of material provide excellent gradual cushioning, while air channels and perforations ensure optimal ventilation and breathability.
The result: a comfortable temperature at all times, regardless of how long you ride in your Castelli cycling shorts.
The KISS Air² seat pad provides complete long-distance comfort thanks to its new, optimised shape, seamless Skin Care cover with a softer feel and improved foam with increased density.
The KISS TRI seat pad, on the other hand, has been specially developed to meet the demands of a triathlon. It is made of multi-density foam that you can barely notice during swimming and running, yet still does what you need when cycling.
