The Sorpasso is the ideal tight for a wide range of winter riding conditions, but some areas are just too cold for the Sorpasso. So with the Sorpasso Windstopper Castelli have taken everything you love about the Sorpasso and added a thick fleecy Windstopper X-Fast 2 fabric to the knee and thigh to extend the comfort range down to well below freezing. But they've kept the Thermoflex Core Due in the front around the seat-pad area because of the way this fabric offers good wind protection and excellent warmth and wicking, yet allows Castelli to make the tight fit perfectly. Progetto X2 Air Seatpad Maximum technology for supreme comfort; The Progetto X2 returns with ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and dryer on endurance road rides. The new design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation. The shape of the pad has received minor updates based on feedback from the Cervelo Test Team. The Progetto X2 Air seatpad is constructed in 3 layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad on the planet. 1. Skin care layer: A four-way stretch, microdenier, seamless, bacteriostatic layer made to adapt to the shape of your body and saddle without any folds in the fabric. 2. Seamless integrated technology cushioning layer: Multi-density foam with infinitely variable thickness. The thickness of the pad is engineered to place the padding where you need it most for maximum comfort.3. Viscous comfort inserts: Perforated viscous padding is added under the highly sensitive ishial and perineum pressure areas. WINDSTOPPER® X-Fast A light weight and stretchy membrane fabric for weatherproof protection and insulation. X-Fast features a Gore WINDSTOPPER® membrane for total wind protection with outstanding breathability. The fabric has a brushed fleece inner surface for excellent insulation and moisture transfer. The outer surface is treated with a DWR water-repellent finish to shed rain and spray before it is absorbed. Thermoflex Core Due An innovative fabric, designed to keep you dry and comfortable, even in cold and wet cycling conditions. A hollow-core polyester inner layer traps warm air, while wicking moisture to the outer nylon/Lycra® layer, where it quickly evaporates. Thermoflex Core Due offers better warmth and wicking than traditional fabrics, with a 20% weight saving. The hollow-core inner layer repels water, keeping your tights feeling dry on the inside, even when wet. Giro3 Leg Grippers Secure, low profile cuffs that stay in place without constriction. Instead of stitching silicone elastic to the cuff, Giro3 cuffs feature gripper thread knitted directly into the fabric in a wide band that gently compresses while securely holding the tights around the ankle….
