Castelli is instantly recognized as one of the premier cycling apparel brands. Its fame is well deserved. Castelli is quite probably the finest, most durable, and most fashionable cycling clothing brand currently available. Always cutting-edge, and always haute couture, wear Castelli and you're sure to get looks of envy.
Although owned by the parent company, Sportful, Castelli enjoys credibility and recognition far greater than that of Sportful. This is no surprise since Castelli has always stood out as "the" cycling apparel brand, while Sportful has concentrated more on cross country skiing and thermal under-garments. But with the financial resources of Sportful behind it, Castelli can venture into territory that other brands would fear to tread. In other words, Castelli can dare to be different, and it finds a welcome reception among many individuals.
The result is that Castelli is always bold, always fashionable, and tres cool. More importantly, Castelli's designs are incredibly thorough and well researched. As an example, for the 2005 Winter season, Castelli introduced its supremely light and flexible Carbon Jacket. This cold weather piece looks and almost feels like sharkskin, but has genuine carbon threading sewn into its material. The properties of carbon actually assist your body's electro-chemical activities so you stay more relaxed, enabling your body to more efficiently warm itself. Sound crazy? We thought so too, until we starting wearing it!
