Decent coverage but I was wanting a little more around the ears and back of the head in the winter. Seam is down the center and can put pressure right smack in the middle of your forehead.

This jacket does a good job at repelling the rain and keeping warm (I wore a long sleeve base layer and short sleeve jersey for temps ranging from 35-45 degrees F). The snap down tail is nice on those wet days. Breathability is decent. If you're looking for more warmth perhaps look at some thermal jackets instead.

These gloves will keep your hands warm in dry conditions but when the weather turns wet they palms soak up moisture (Only the backs of the gloves are water resistant). I am not overly excited about the gel lite padding in the palm. It felt like I had a palm goiter.

Fits just like the Bell Sweep. The straps are a little finicky to get totally flat. After a few minutes of mild frustration you can get them flat against the contours of your head. Bell tends to fit heads with a round profile. Comfortable and plenty of vents that you can stick your glasses in.

It's light. If you're running a single front ring it does a decent job keeping your chain from coming off the outside of your ring....but you'll need an inner guide to keep your chain totally in place. Only problem is they are fragile....I munched one when my chain somehow got lodged in between the ring and guard which caused it to splinter. An aluminum one would be more durable but the FSA sure looks better.

I run these in clincher and tubular for cross' as well as trail riding on my cross bike. They hold up well and very durable even using as low as 26 lbs (on my cx tubies) and kissing the rim a couple times a lap.

Shifts well but don't run it for cyclocross. The mud won't clear and shifting diminishes.

Great ergonomics. The hoods fit right in your hands and the blades are comfy during braking. I love the clean cable routing too.

These are some of the most comfortable knee warmers I have ever donned. Material is thick and warm. The new leg grippers hold well without feeling like they are attempting to tear your skin off. Order these in the same size you would order your bibs/shorts/tights.

Best leg warmers I've used. The new gripper leg band is super comfy and wide. Material is thick and warm. Ankle zips are always a good thing too. Order them in the same size you would for your shorts/tights.

These are my favorite bib shorts of all time. Fit is perfect and true to size. Chamois is like sitting on a sofa and will last a long time and doesn't feel bulky at the same time (I tend to like the chamois that make you drop your saddle a few millimeters). Wore a fresh pair of these everyday at the BC Bike race and had no issues with saddle sores or discomfort.

Castelli has changed their sizing a little bit. I wore a medium in the older sizing and now I wear a large because the mediums looked like kids shorts and I couldn't even get them over my calves (I'm 5'7" 155 lbs). Chamois is pretty thin....more like a wafer and it only lasts about two to maybe three hours in the saddle before you feel like you have no chamois in your shorts at all.
