In exactly one week, summer is unfortunately coming to an end, and cooler temperatures are coming soon to a bike ride near you. Having lived in touristy, mountainous areas for the past 25 years, I\u2019ve always referred to fall and spring as the \u201cshoulder seasons.\u201d Castelli calls the period between summer and deep winter the \u201ctransition period.\u201d Whatever you call it, Castelli\u2019s Espresso range of apparel<\/a> is designed to keep you comfortable and looking good while riding in cool, but not freezing, temperatures.<\/p>\n

Last week, Castelli expanded its popular Espresso range with new Thermal Bibshorts and TRNSTN Bibtights. Additionally, the Espresso LS Jersey, Espresso Thermal Jersey, and Espresso Vest were given some minor updates, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur latest Espresso pieces have been designed to excel in the time of year we call Transition; too warm for peak summer, yet too cool for mid-winter. What makes them so effective is their adaptability\u2014each garment comes into its own at a slightly different temperature range, yet they all pair effortlessly with a host of base layers, jackets, and accessories right across the Transition season. Combined with our expanded palette of fresh new colors, riders now have total freedom to mix and match and compile a wardrobe that looks as good as it performs, no matter how unpredictable the weather gets.”<\/p>\n

The new Espresso Thermal Bibshorts share the same look as the Espresso 2 from the outside, but have a brushed, fleece-like thermal fabric inside to provide extra insulation for use in temperatures between 10\u201318\u00b0C (50-64\u00b0F). Additionally, the front of the short is cut longer to provide more coverage, wind protection, and insulation, with a precise, tapered cut at the back of the knee to prevent bunching and irritation. The fabric\u2019s high elasticity allows for a gripper-free leg opening. <\/p>\n
