Reviews over the
Castelli Squadra Stretch Vest
4 / 5
Order one size bigger
Handy to start the ride with when it's still chilly. Not yet tested extensively, but feel confident about it. I wear M as T-shirts myself. Jacket recommendation was also M for this vest but it was really too small. Especially at the armpits. Even an L is a bit tight, but I think it's ok since on descents you also don't want it flapping on all sides.

Castelli always makes great products
It's a shame that the back is so waterproof. A mesh fabric would have been welcome...

Ideal jacket for colder and windy days
Usually use this vest in the morning on the way to work, when it's going to be a lot warmer on the way back. The windproofness of this vest keeps you a lot warmer, while the lack of sleeves means you don't feel like you're in a sauna. Personally, I already use it at 5°C with a short shirt, arm pieces and long undershirt underneath. Ideal vest and, with the right clothing underneath, can be used in many different conditions. It is difficult to reach the back pockets of your shirt under this vest.

Very good product
Worn over a castelli ros jacket in very wet weather, it's easy to forget because it's very light but cuts the wind well, and also protects the jacket from splashes.
