Castelli Perfetto Long Sleeve 2017

Castelli Perfetto Long Sleeve

  

The Castelli Gabba was a ground-breaking garment in terms of performance cycling apparel. The Castelli Perfetto Long Sleeve Jersey has evolved from the legendary Gabba Jersey. ‘Perfetto’ means perfection.

Lightweight & Water-repellent

The outer water-repellent finish on the Perfetto Jersey is improved to keep you even drier, without compromising on breathability. This jersey helps keep you dry and warm in cool conditions, whilst still boasting the light-weight properties you expect from performance cycling clothing.

Splash-flap

The splash-flap on the back of the jersey is also enhanced to make it fit even better. Importantly, the Castelli reflective logo across the splash-flap at the back keeps you safer and the drain holes in the deep pockets are laser-cut.

CRC Staff Verdict

Technologies:

 

Gore Windstopper: This soft, 4-way stretch Windstopper® fabric is extremely lightweight and breathable. Breathable outer and inner shell keeps the wind out. Windstopper® technology makes it ideal for use in cool weather.

 

Nano Flex: Exclusively engineered by Castelli. We take our thermal fleecy stretch Thermoflex fabric and coat it with millions of tiny nanofilaments to create the most water-repellent fabric finish ever. Drops of water stay as spherical balls on top of the fabric or bounce off the fabric without leaving a trace.

 

Rosso Corsa: Our Rosso Corsa label is only applied to the highest-level products we make. Every thread and fibre, every curve and contour is obsessed about. Rosso Corsa represents a categorical breakthrough in cycling innovation and the meticulous craftsmanship you expect from Castelli’s performance-enhancing apparel.
