Castelli

Perla Women's Jersey

Since its inception, the Perla has been Castelli's most popular jersey design -- a testament to its ingenuity and insightful design. And for 2013, we see a continuation of pure excellence with the Perla Women's Jersey. With a perfect fit, incredibly soft fabrics, and a design like none other, we expect the Perla's popularity to spike once again.

This jersey has been constructed from Castelli's Softlex fabric for its comfort, stretch, and moisture management properties. And while it's composition is not one of organic fiber, the material has been engineered to retain a cotton-like feel and aesthetic. More importantly, though, Softlex performs the aforementioned duties with vigor. Accordingly, it feels incredible on the skin without a base layer, and of equal merit, it efficiently transports moisture from the skin to the quick-drying surface of the jersey.

In terms of stretch, you'll find that Softlex's natural elasticity provides a complete freedom of movement. Furthermore, this attribute has been intensified through Castelli's hallmark fit. Essentially, this jersey has been designed on an anatomic curve that not only takes the female body into account, but the female body within the cycling position. As a result, the jersey follows your movements in the saddle, almost predicting them. This way, abrasion is minimized, and the jersey's structure becomes exceptionally flattering to the figure. Additionally, Castelli continued this concept by designing the Perla with seamless arms and neck bands.

To house your ride essentials, Castelli has included three ample sized rear pockets and a rear zippered key pocket. And to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions, the jersey features reflective accents throughout. Please note that no shelf bra has been built in, as Castelli believes you'd rather go with a sports bra you know and love rather than take a chance on one that you're unfamiliar with.

The Castelli Perla Women's Jersey is available in six sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Acqua, Black, Pink Fluo, White, and Wisteria.
