The name of this tight, Sorpasso, means “overtaking” in Italian. That’s what Castelli has tried to do with this tight, to make it a bit faster, better, more comfortable. It’s made to be technical equipment for riding in the widest range of winter conditions. The main part of the tight uses the Nano Flex 3G fabric, the third generation of the nanotechnology fabric treatment that adds a high level of water repellency without affecting the breathability, stretch or warmth of the fabric. You get a highly stretchy, compressive fit that moves with you, focusing on warmth and comfort.

But then Castelli add a few panels of the Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric to provide a bit more wind protection and warmth in the front panel and over the thighs, and in the back for extra protection from road spray.

It’s not only about the fabrics: anatomical patterning gives a bend at the knee and the hip, while the seamless bib straps lie flat and securely keep everything in place. Castelli's generously padded Progetto X² Air seamless seat pad make long rides more comfortable, and you have multiple reflective panels to keep you visible. Castelli has designed this as the go-to tight for a full winter’s riding.

Progetto X² Air seat pad:

The Progetto X² Air seat pad with double layer construction provides progressive damping, great comfort characteristics and maximum breathability. The antibacterial surface reduces odors and increases hygiene. The first layer is a soft, stretchy, seamless and bacteriostatic Skin-Care layer next to your skin. The cushioning layer with perforated viscous comfort padding is added under the ischial bones and in perineum area for maximum padding in these highly sensitive areas.
