Newer Castelli Cycling Nanoflex Warmers Versus Past Thermoflex Warmers

 


The title says it all.  The newest and best warmers to buy are the Castelli Nanoflex warmers that were released approximately 3 years ago (before January 2011).  There is no reason to reinvent the wheel so please check out a great review from CompetitiveCyclist.com (video link below)! 

Positive Notes from Castelli Nanoflex Review:
1) Double sided silicone gripper to keep warmers tight to skin and jersey/jacket
2) Snug
3) Warm
4) Water repellent
Negative Notes from Castelli Nanoflex Review:
1) In dry conditions, shorts over warmers tend to ride up
2) Less water repellent if warmers stretch too much

What is your name buddy?  This fellow gives the warmers, "two enthusiastic thumbs up," although the bloke doesn't smile once during the review.  (FYI--We've had great customer service with CompetitiveCyclist.com)

Added Note: A Castelli Cycling blog talks about how some winter bibshorts come in Nanoflex fabric.  However, there are no Nanoflex jerseys.   Instead, if you want waterproof jerseys, check out the Gabba series.
