The Castelli Free Tri Singlet has been designed for the triathlete who wants Premium kit but not at a premium price, however they don't skimp on quality technical functions. It is made with a SpeedFreak ventilated race fabric on the front which is hugely breathable and so perfect for those for high summer efforts.
A Velocity mesh backing to the singlet, this is a wind-tunnel proven choice that's sure to help you cut down on your times and improve your personal bests. With a SnapLock fastener at the lower back, this singlet is able to clip to Castelli's Free Tri Short, giving you security in the fit and the safe knowledge that this singlet won't ride up.
With a YKK camlock zipper for quality fitting, and with a FreeAero 2 hydro and aero optimised pocket assuring you of comprehensive storage on the road, you can be sure to carry your nutrition with you down the road.

Castelli Size Guide
Where Castelli once had a reputation for making gear that suited only very small Italian folk, the Castelli women's size scale is now very similar to 'normal' UK sizing.
That said, it is primarily designed with a snug fit in mind, so if you prefer more room or are between sizes, go up rather than down. If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.

Q. What do a 19th century Italian tailor, a designer for the Milan Ballet and the first ever lycra cycling shorts have in common?
A. They are all part of a rich 140 year history that's led to today's most recognised brand in cycling: Castelli.
Throw in a heart attack on a famous Italian climb, family feuds, Olympic gold medals and controversy in the pro peloton and it begins to sound more like a Sicilian soap opera than the backdrop to a cycling brand. But then again Castelli is no ordinary brand.
Today, Castelli's scorpion emblem is arguably the single most recognised in cycling. Iconic is an overused word these days, but the Castelli brand surely qualifies.
We first discovered Castelli on our year long ride through the Americas in 2010, when our founder Liz (pictured) wore Castelli shorts and loved them, so stocking them seemed an obvious choice. But we're almost as captivated by the story behind the name as the kit itself! For the full Castelli story (it's quite a story!), click here.
We aim to dispatch all orders within 2-3 working days, often sooner. Within the UK we use Royal Mail's Tracked service - you will receive a tracking code with your order once it is shipped.
