Shorter days call for longer sleeves as the median temp hovers in the high 50s. These are the days for which Castelli developed the Velocissimo 2 Limited Edition Full-Zip Jersey. An ideal blend of warmth, coverage, and breathability make the Velocissimo 2 an ideal top for fall or spring riding.

Constructed from Castelli's Warmer fabric, the Velocissimo Jersey's great by itself, or layered for added cool-weather comfort. This synthetic textile features a fleecy inside for next-to-skin comfort, wicking performance, and thermal insulation. The Warmer fabric is also stretchy to allow ample movement, and it has a smooth face to help reduce drag.

The synthetic Warmer fabric possesses excellent wicking properties transporting perspiration quickly and evenly to the surface for efficient evaporation. This ensures your core stays dry, preventing clamminess if it's chilly or saving you from overheating if the mercury climbs.

Enabling the Velocissimo's technical properties is a body-contouring shape that packs decades of custom-tailored cycling apparel under its belt. Castelli knows a thing or two about fit and has defined modern cycling wear with many firsts, including Lycra shorts. An example of Castelli's innovation in the Velocissimo is the sleeves as they're articulated forward.

This allows for maximum body contact without binding, wrinkles, or excess material when settled into the natural riding position. Not only does this ensure excellent aerodynamics, but it also permits the Velocissimo to utilize the optimized fabric to its fullest potential. Out of the box, the Velocissimo will fit tight against the chest and feel unnatural when prepping for a ride, but once seated and spinning its superior design comes to light.

Adding to that design is a full-length YKK Vislon zipper that allows ventilation fine-tuning that won't migrate when pedaling. The Velocissimo's lower hem has a wide silicon gripper to prevent riding up, and the three rear pockets are secure and easy to reach when riding. Castelli's Long-Sleeve Velocissimo has a full complement of reflective elements for low-light safety, and it's available in Forest Gray/Orange, Black/Red, Anthracite/Red, and Dark Infinity Blue/Red with sizes ranging from Small through to 3X-Large.
