The piece of kit I didn't think I needed
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- XL
I got this super-thin, super-packable jacket almost as an afterthought, but now I carry it with me nearly every ride. It's great for warding off the early-morning chill, or the ocean breeze when the sun is going down. No frills, no extra pockets, just a basic piece that adds a bit of comfort when you need it. Like everything Castelli does, sizing is more or less an educated guess based on other stuff you've gotten from them (hahahhhaaaaa). So, I'll try to be super specific: For this jacket, I have the XL and the fit is almost skintight over a base layer and LS jersey. I am 5'-9" tall, 160 lbs., with a 40-inch chest and a 32-inch waist.

Castelli Squadra Stretch Jacket
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- XL
I've used it several times in the past few weeks in coolish (40-55 degrees) temps and also some very, very light rain. It works well for me in those conditions and fits easily in a jersey pocket when not needed. It doesn't have quite as much stretch as the name would imply and the fit seems a bit more snug than expected. That said it still does the job I bought it for very well.

Size up and it fits well but...
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
My size up from a small to a medium and it fits pretty snug on me as someone who is 5'6 and 150 lbs with decent arms and a gym chest. It definitely keeps a chill out but it doesn't breathe as well as I would hope. After a 30 mi ride with only a thousand feet of climbing and on a 55° F day, the inside was pretty wet from condensation and sweat and my jersey was pretty wet from sweat as well. Wish it had a double zipper so you can zip it up from the bottom when climbing, that would make this a much better and breathable jacket.

Perfect to take the edge off cool breeze
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought this to wear in the morning when the temp is rising from 50-ish to jersey-only weather. Put on base layer (also to be removed later), jersey and this, and great from start to finish. Works nicely with only the jersey when it's just a tad cool for one layer. Fits snuggly and looks good too. (as always with this brand, buy one size larger.)

Great lightweight jacket
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Believe the reviews that say this item runs small! I ordered a medium and had to exchange for a large. The large was still a slim fit which is a good thing because it does not flap in the wind like many other jackets. It is extremely lightweight but still provides a measure of warmth. It is great for the days that are cool in the early morning and then stows easily in a jersey pocket when the temp rises. High quality jacket at a great price.

Breathable jacket
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I needed a packable cool weather jacket that wasn't like a trash bag. Castelli did a great job with this one. The jacket has a mesh fabric under the arms and into the armpits that allows a little air exchange giving this jacket nice breathability. This makes it great for me for temps into the high 30's. Any temps lower and I'd go for something heavier. It packs up into half a jersey pocket space no problem. Finally, this is a Castelli product so the fit is tight. I'm 6' and 150 lbs. A medium fit perfectly when I usually get small. Buyers probably should size up.

Great lightweight jacket

Runs small so get the next size up. I usually get a small but went with a medium based on reviews. Medium is still kind of tight but not too bad. Overall SUPER light and easy to pack down in a pocket.
