 Castelli Nanoflex Arm WarmersJust try and rain on our parade. Go ahead, we dare ya.“This new water-repellent fabric not only bounce off the water drops, it insulates and wicks the moisture away quickly so I don’t get that cold, clammy feeling any longer.”-Carlos Sastre Good For Bad Weather: Editors' Choice, Bicycling Magazine, October 2011 issue BicyclingHub.com has been excited for Nanoflex product to arrive since we first heard about the new technology earlier this year. Castelli's revolutionary new NanoFlex material enables cyclists to not only experience weather, but to at times DEFY it. These arm warmers not only provide full thermal protection in dry conditions, but actually repel water when it starts raining. Droplets form, bead and run off the fabric's exterior, rather then permeating the membrane and soaking the flesh within. Key Product Features: Castelli states, "We don't claim that it's fully waterproof, but it's the most effective thing we've ever made for keeping you comfortable in all conditions. It's just barely short of a miracle." Winter-weight warmers are always a great way to extend your wardrobe as well as battle ever-changing weather. With the addition of a lightweight fleece that sheds water from that occasional rain shower, the Claudio Bib Short and Nanoflex arm, knee and leg warmers are multi-season, multi-purpose-you can't go wrong! Roger Hammond, who lives in the heart of Belgium, does most of his winter training in the area around Brussels and also in the UK. Carlos Sastre lives about 1000m above sea-level in the mountains north of Madrid in Spain. Both riders were looking for something to keep them warm and dry during their winter preparation and both are more than happy with Castelli's Nanoflex products for 2010. |
"These comfortable, flexible warmers will keep you toasty on cool spring or fall mornings, but are so light you'll forget they're in your pockets after you've shed them for the day. Water-repellent nano fibers won't keep you dry in a downpour, but light drizzle beads on the surface, giving you a chance to seek shelter before the skies open. "
