Winter is coming, and for many that means its time to dust off the indoor trainer setup and renew your favorite virtual training subscription. For others, it means bundling up in your winter riding gear and braving the conditions no matter what. If youre part of the latter camp, then youre probably already familiar with Castellis lineup of winter riding gear, which has been keeping hearty year-round cyclists comfortable for many years. Today, the Italian brand is introducing updated versions of some of its most popular cold-weather gear.This includes updated versions of the winter workhorse Sorpasso Pro Bibtights for both men and women. Theyve also redesigned their critical accessories for your extremities, utilizing the proprietary Polartec AirCore fabric to make the Estremo 2 Gloves and Estremo 2 Shoecovers the warmest Castelli has ever produced.Sorpasso Pro BibtightCastelli designed the Sorpasso Pro to have an extremely wide temperature range, so it could theoretically be the only bibtight you need for all of your winter riding. Its made with Castelli-engineered Definitivo warm fabric, with a claimed temperature bandwidth of 214 C / 3557 F. That should have you covered for those near-freezing starts or finishes with variable temps in between.According to Castelli, theyve also given them an updated anatomical cut with new patterning and shaping at the knees and hips for unrestricted pedaling. The high-stretch, compressive fabrics provide warmth, support, and all-day comfort, while the lie-flat, seamless bib straps keep them anchored and stable in varying riding positions.The Soprasso Pro Bibtights include Castellis flagship Progetto X2 Air seamless seat pad for comfort on long rides. The design also subtly integrates reflective elements for winter visibility with minimal impact on aesthetics, along with a zipperless ankle to reduce bulkTemperature Range: 214 C / 3557 FFit: TailoredSizes: XS-3XL (mens); XS-XL (womens)Colors: Belgian Blue, Black and Smoky Gray (mens); and Black (womens)RRP 200,00 | $240,00 | 220,00Estremo 2 GloveA mainstay in the Castelli lineup since 2012, the Estremo Glove is getting its first update in 14 years. The main story here is the move to the proprietary Polartec AirCore fabric weve recently seen incorporated into numerous jackets in Castellis cool/cold weather lineup. This material features an electrospun nanofiber membrane that blocks freezing winds while allowing rapid moisture transfer. Inside, a fleecy liner provides loft and thermal insulation with a claimed temperature range of -55 C / 2341 F.The Estremo 2 has a pre-curved construction along with a silicone-printed palm for cold-weather grip. The outside of the palm also includes the Castelli Damping System (CDS) to provide some cushioning to eliminate nerve numbness on long winter road rides. The Estremo 2 Gloves have an extended cuff with a Velcro closure to keep them snug and fit under the sleeves of jackets, and a microsuede thumb panel for those inevitably runny noses.Temperature Range: -55 C / 2341 F (unisex)Sizes: XS-2XLColor: BlackRRP 120,00 | $140,00 | 130,00Estremo 2 ShoecoverThe new Estremo 2 Shoecover gets the same treatment. Like the Estremo 2 Gloves above, the Shoecover is also switching to the windproof Polartec AirCore outer shell with a full fleece lining. Castelli says this construction results in its warmest bootie ever. On that note, they claim they are suited for temperatures well below freezing, with a stated range of -105 C / 1441 F.The Estremo 2 Shoecovers are cut high on the calf to overlap with your favorite bibtights, with a full-length YKK Aquaguard zipper for easy on/off. While the AirCore material is not waterproof, Castelli says it provides protection from light rain and road spray. They have reflective elements incorporated on all sides to enhance winter visibility, and a high-durability material underfoot.Temperature Range: -105 C / 14341 F (unisex)Sizes: XS-2XLColor: BlackRRP 160,00 | $185,00 | 175,00AvailabilityCastellis updated Sorpasso Pro Bibtights and Estremo 2 Gloves and Shoecovers officially launch today.
