Reviews over the
Castelli Squadra Stretch
4 / 5
Great lightweight jacket at a reasonable price
Still using it too briefly to give a weighted opinion
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good windbreaker for this price.
Great windcheater for the slightly cooler or grey days. Not very sweaty and breathes well. Above 20 degrees soon too warm. Only disadvantage is that there are no back pockets. Surely this is nice if you want to have a snackie. Now you have to dismount or risk your life by taking off your jacket while cycling.
Pros & Cons
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.

used in damp, windy weather

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.
