Castelli’s New Unlimited Gravel Skinsuit Adds Integrated Hydration Bladder

Castelli’s new Unlimited Gravel Skinsuit adds an integrated bladder, offering gravelers essential hydration in a design that claims to be more comfortable and aerodynamic compared to traditional hydration vests.

“With the popularity of gravel racing continuing to grow, and the racing getting faster and faster, we felt the time was right to unleash all of the Rosso Corsa experience and knowledge we had gained from the road and apply it to the gravel surface. We optimized our Sanremo S Speed Suit by adding nutrition pockets on the central quad position on the leg to allow quick, easy access to gels and bars. Placed on the front, even full pockets will not increase aero drag like side pockets, and the contents won’t bounce as much. We applied the hydration pouch from our Unlimited Pro 2 Jersey to keep the hydration bladder stored safely and securely. Feed zones in gravel racing have become increasingly risky and stressful, but with this speed suit you should be able to fly right through them. The jersey fabric gives UPF 30 protection to block 97% of UV rays for your longest races. Feedback from our Castelli SOG athletes was instrumental in the development of the Unlimited Speed Suit, making sure it serves the needs of a modern-day gravel rider — whatever the distance you choose to compete in,” boasts Castelli.

The new Castelli Unlimited Gravel Skinsuit is available in a range of unisex sizes that sells for a hefty $420, with color choices in Vivid Orange with a Hot Sauce Red bottom or Mango Mojito Yellow with a black bottom.
