Italian cycling clothing manufacturer Castelli has released a line of travel luggage designed for the serious cyclist. Four years in the making, Castelli solicited feedback from pro cyclists about what traditional luggage lacked for their specific usage. The result is the Race Bags line just released and available now.
The focus for the collection is on material strength, water resistance, and ample storage for gear. As with all Castelli gear and clothing, the design is impeccably stylish. It wouldn’t be Castelli if it didn’t look good. All pieces are black, with red trim and highlights. The collection includes two roller bags, a backpack, a duffel, a rain bag, and two seatbags.
