Reviews over the
Castelli Squadra Stretch
4 / 5
Buy a new one immediately if it breaks.
Tested extensively today. Compact to carry, easy to put on over other cycling clothing. Good visibility.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
It is a fine light and visible jacket.
used in damp, windy weather
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fine jacket for these cold days
Fit is good like other Castelli clothing. Always choose 1 or 2 sizes larger than your normal clothing size. Holds the wind well and is still breathable.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fine windstopper, but pay close attention to the size.
Advised to take one size larger than what you normally wear. Did not apply in my case, initially bought a size too large. The build of your body is in important part decisive. So in my case a narrow upper body (above slightly wider cycling legs...).
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fine jacket that doesn't flutter and fits well.
The windbreaker does what you expect it to do. In winter or early spring, this jacket can make just the difference between a cold ride or cosy warm ride. In terms of sizing, it's best to opt for the same size you have for Castelli's tighter clothing, such as the aero or climbers jersey.
