'The old way of riding is over' – Castelli launches new Transition clothing range to bridge the comfort gap between summer and winter temperatures

Cycling apparel has long adhered to a binary system: summer gear is used in warmer months, while heavy winter gear dominates colder seasons. However, the blurred lines between seasons due to global weather patterns have prompted Castelli to introduce a new product line called Transition. This range aims to address the unpredictable shoulder seasons of autumn and spring, when mornings are crisp but afternoons are mild, rendering traditional winter riding gear excessive.

Transition is presented as an adaptable foundation for any cycling wardrobe, featuring multiple mix-and-match core pieces. The initial products released are the Corretto LS jerseys for both men and women. These jerseys bridge the gap between summer and winter clothing, providing high-performance options for the conditions that lie in between.

The Corretto LS jerseys are designed with lightweight, breathable, and aerodynamic fabrics that allow riders to transition smoothly without overheating. The men's jersey weighs just 194g (170g for women), making it a lightweight yet protective option. The jersey's elastic silicone waist gripper ensures a secure fit, while a full-length zipper with a pull-tab provides easy access. Additional features include three back pockets and a fourth zippered security pocket.

Available in two colorways for men (Steel Fade/Chestnut-Vivid and Night Shade/Elmwood-Rosa Giro) and one for women (Paprika/Winter Sky), the Corretto LS jerseys are priced at £175/$210/€170 for both genders. As cycling apparel evolves to cater to the shifting weather patterns, Castelli's Transition range represents a significant step towards creating high-performance clothing for all conditions in between summer and winter.
