Reviews over the

Castelli Espresso Thermal

The jacket/shirt is nice and tight and keeps the cold out well at temperatures between 7 and 12 degrees. I am 1.88 tall, 76 kg and have Castelli size 2xXL. At lower temperatures, I use the Castelli Perfetto Rosso Corsa also in size 2xXL So far used on my ATB rides, but continue to use this clothing also in the period April - September on the road bike at aforementioned temperatures.

Pros & Cons

What a lovely shirt. Nice and warm during questionable weather. When it gets colder, I use a windbreaker vest over it. This way I can go on for a long time before the real winter jacket comes out of the closet. Besides cycling, I also use it when skating. Perfect for that too. A good purchase. And Mantel delivers reliably and quickly.

Pros & Cons

Ideal for mid-season, but with a winter first layer, you can ride at around 6 degrees without any problem.
