Although we have for the right moment to back rather mild season even can run in short shorts and some maillot afternoon, it will not last.
Come sooner or later the time comes to put on, for several months, long shorts and thermal safety jacket.
Castelli Passo Giau jacket and long shorts Velocissimo could well accompany you during these months when temperatures do not exceed 15 °, since both products are designed to operate between 5 and 15 ° C.
The Paso Gaius jacket available in 3 colors and is sold € 149.90.
A rather reasonable price for a technical product, except fall lasts a few years.
Combining Windstopper X-Fast fabric on the upper torso and shoulders, Wind stopper X-Mid on the sleeves and lower torso, and Warmer fabric on the back, tire scheduled for a cool time. Catelli gives a minimum temperature, which I have seen in effect with a simple vest. For colder outputs 0 °, it will add one more layer to be comfortable.
It’s a jacket that is worn close to the body. Good point for sleeves that is long enough. If you wear long gloves, the cold air will not rush at the wrists. The neck back as high to isolate the neck and prevent air passes.
3 pockets present in the back are wide and very deep. What store extra windbreaker or other bulky accessories?
I only regret that for a jacket dedicated to winter, there are no more reflective element on the back because it is limited to two small “tabs” at the outer pockets.
The lining is arctic, which ensures feeling of warmth and softness. The insulation on the front is very good and helps to not feel the cold, even at high speed.
Size side, it took me a size L, as for all my winter jackets.
Good surprise next rate since it Velocissimo 2 is sold less than 100 € and is available in 6 colors.
As the Paso Gaius jacket, Catelli announces optimal operating temperature between 5 and 15 ° C. But hardier will definitely wear it to 0 ° C.
Kiss chamois is of excellent craftsmanship. This is often the technical point that stalled on affordable shorts, but this is not the case here.
The anatomical design and seamless ensures real comfort, while the dual-density foam ensures very good shock absorption. Even on the outputs of nearly 4 hours, I did not have to complain of pain or irritation.
Retaining strips (GIRO3) are present around the ankles to keep the tights perfectly in place. Zippers (YKK Cam lock) ankles allow it to easily slip on shorts and provide good support when pedaling. These closures are fitted with reflective tape.
The fabric is soft and elasticity make the Velocissimo 2 is forgotten, this is far from true of all long shorts.
Hand size, it took me a size L for my 1.78m and 72kg.
