Squadra Vest

You've reached the summit of a stunning mountain pass after a tedious ascent, taking the staggering beauty that surrounds you, you are encompassed with a true sense of self affirmation for the hours of training and dedication you've put in. Pounding water, and snacking on your nutrition bar, you allow endorphins to course through your veins, moving your mind to a euphoric state. A long and windy descent awaits you, rewarding your cramped quads with a nearly effortless roll back down, through arcing bows of trees, and past vineyards. A cool breeze whisks by, reminding you that your cooling sweat will give you quite the chill as you descend, but not to worry, you brought along your Castelli Squadra Vest to take the wind off of your core, for a warm and lightly insulated ride down.


Made from polyester ripstop, the Squadra Vest cuts through the wind effortlessly, but is lightweight enough that it doesn't overly insulate, so you won't find yourself overheating from this vest. A light DWR coating is applied to the polyester to help shed a bit of rain, but it is not designed to be a completely water repellent piece, this vest is ideal for light summer rain, or chilly wind. Reflective accents adorn the back to increase your visibility to cars, and rear mesh venting helps you shed moisture to keep comfortable as you soak in the sights unfolding in front of you.

Sized up ... but not enough

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it
Size Bought:
LARGE
Height:

Ordered large (up from normal medium) but still too tight and did not leave enough room for flexibility. Not worth paying another round of shipping charges (both ways) to experiment with XL... Not sure how to rate it... i don't hate it (1 star) ... I don't love it (5 stars) but didn't get a chance to properly use it to evaluate it honestly. It doesn't look like I can submit a review without a Star Rating so I split the difference.

True Italian style & good wind block

M

Today in the low 60?s I used this vest in several category 3 climbs and the descents were completely comfortable. I wear M Jerseys and the M fit was snug , but perfect.

Nice light vest

Familiarity:

Large

I purchased as an extra layer for cooler and/or windy California days. Vest is nice and light with wind breaking material on front and partial mesh back to avoid overhearing but this will not keep you very warm if super cold. Sizing is true to Castelli specifications and Large is big enough to go over one or two thin layers. Nice that back is a bit longer than Jersey to provide added coverage.

My Favorite Vest

Firstly, I am a fan of Castelli. This vest is my favorite. It fits well, easily folds, and it has the quality Castelli is known for. And I found the sizing superior to another Italian brand. I also want enough room in my vest for some bulky items in my jersey?s rear pockets.

White is see through...

First off, if you're a lycra-wearing, leg shaving cyclist, you know your clothes need to fit tight to minimize drag. Castelli is Italian which plays a factor, but has a snug fit intentionally. I bought into the over-sized hype and got a large (usually wear mediums), and it was too baggy for riding but fit comfortably. I'd definitely be flapping in a good headwind. My main complaint was that the white is very see-through, which is unfortunate. It's like wearing a white t-shirt in a thunderstorm...you can see almost completely through it. Not pro :(
