Here’s what we’ve sourced from around the globe, all new for 2024 – it’s the best of everything for female cyclists. You’ll find some new collaborations with the best brands in apparel, bags and accessories, along with things we wish we’d made ourselves. Enjoy this preview & visit terrybicycles.com before the good stuff is gone…
Castelli came through this season with new jerseys, a new Espresso bottoms collection and a new seamless, women-specific, cooling fabric glove called the Premio. Although the Rosso Corsa Glove continues to be a #1 seller for us from Castelli, we think this new one may knock her off the top spot on the podium.
The new Espresso Short gives you a lot of the premium features that Castelli’s known for, but in a more comfortable package. First, it’s a short, not a bib; second, it’s outfitted with a Progetto X Air Seamless chamois with plenty of padding; third, it has raw-cut leg endings with integrated silicone grip inside so you don’t get the sausage effect; fourth, it’s a super value; and fifth, impressively, it’s made in Italy.
One of the best-engineered pieces from Castelli is the windproof Aria Jacket. It has tremendous stretch and is so lightweight that it can be consolidated into the palm of your hand. Yes, it’s super fitted but between the paneling and the stretch of the fabric, it really doesn’t restrict movement like a typical tight-fitting wind jacket does.
Best new glasses are from 100%: Hypercraft XS. They are the lightest weight, best fitting sunglasses on the market as far as we’re concerned.
Sportful is another premiere Italian cycling brand we like because they don’t cut corners on their women’s line. They use premium fabrics and manufacture most products in Europe. This season’s aesthetic is color blocking.
We’re intrigued by the Italian approach to bibs and bringing you 3 this year (2 from Sportful, 1 from Castelli). They all do something different and are all designed with all-day performance in mind. The SRK above has the most resilient straps we’ve ever seen, allowing for a rear pull-down of the short without having to undress.
We’re also excited about some custom collaborations this year. First up is this coral-toned Castelii Competizione jersey which is a Terry exclusive and designed with a less restrictive fit than the other Castelli jerseys we sell.
Notable from Giro is the Helios Helmet with Spherical Technology, an advance that allows the outer liner to rotate around the inner liner in a new ball-and-socket design. Superior brain protection in a dark cherry package.
We’ve also picked up a new helmet line from Abus. German-engineered and made in Italy, the new Powerdome and Stormchaser are ponytail friendly, MIPS equipped and have a really good strap fit system.
And speaking of collaborations, our partnership with Krimson Klover has resulted in two awesome pieces for spring, exclusively for Terry: Sara LS Sunshirt (above) and the Julia Hoody (below).
Nobody does casual cycling that crosses over to daily living like Club Ride. They have an uncanny ability to pack tons of style and features into just about everything they make. This season we’re excited about tops and bottoms – new pieces in both categories.
