CASTELLI TECH: When you’re obsessed about cycling technology, it’s easy to get carried away with tech-speak and jargon. The following is a brief explanation of some of the revolutionary technology behind our products.
PROSECCO A topical hydrophilic treatment which causes water droplets to spread out over a larger surface area allowing for quicker evaporation.
VELOCITY
A breathable, lightweight fabric with a clean stretch fit and a smooth face to reduce boundary layer drag.
SG0.6 The world’s lightest known fiber uitable for cycling use. A hollow core fiber that is less than 60% the weight of traditional cycling fabric. Made from polypropylene so it does not absorb water.
STRATUS
A dual layer 100% polyester fabric which uses a multifilament inner layer to transport moisture to the microfiber outer layer for maximum evaporation.

X-SPAND
A very comfortable fabric with a small Lycra content and polyester base. Used in jerseys for excellent stretch and breathability.
BREATHE Fabric featuring Prosecco treatment and a nylon Lycra blend in an open weave design. Allows for significant airflow around individual fibers, thereby evaporating more moisture from inside.
ENERGIA Designed for perfect horizontal stretch and immediate return. Supports muscles without constricting and has a ribbed knit surface that aids in aerodynamics.
ACTION A 210 gram microdenier that is 80% nylon / 20% lycra® and is renowned for its complete comfort since it’s completely soft on the skin, yet highly abrasion resistant.
LYCRA 29 An extremely comforatble version of traditional Lycra typically used in our shorts. 190 grams of outstanding stretch and rebound with a smooth, semi-matte finish.
