Castelli

I had a pair of Castelli overshoes, and they finally got too many snags in them to be effective. I found these and gave them a whirl.

Def snug fit, not so much that it's the wrong size on the sizing chart, but you need to give them some tough love to get them on. They're fine though, if they are loose and flappy they let water in easier.

Too expensive for what they are, catch a sale and they are more reasonable, but still, it's rubber and a zipper, come on now.

I have been using Castelli clothing for some time but this is the first time I have tried this particular type of jersey. As I live and ride mostly in Texas in the summer sun I have become more aware of the need to get good protection against UV and this jersey style certainly provides what I need.

I am very sayisfied with this purchase, it has the level of quality and style expected of Castelli clothing but the breathability and UV protection I need for riding in Texas.

These are great shorts, as usual up to the high standards expected of Castelli products.

The padding is very well designed offering very high comfort levels on longer rides or frequent daily use.

This design of shorts is great for hot summer days as the material appears to perform well in the heat and the low cut front design gives maximun airflow to the front of the rider.

Well worth giving these a try, once you do you will be hooked.

I love Castelli's products. They wear well and are well worth the extra $$. This bibknicker will serve me into the future, I'm sure. However (and this comes as no surprise to anyone else with Castelli's stuff), their sizing is way off for most American weekend warriors who are not built like Italian climbers. I'm 6-1 and 190 pounds. Ride 100-150 miles a week. According to the Castelli site I'm a Large. No way!! I looked at the BTD sizing chart, and they figured I was a XL. Okay -- I have Castelli jerseys in XL, so let's order it. When I tried in on, it was too short over the shoulders and a bit too tight and, if worn, would have had me singing soprano within 5 miles. Went back to BTD and ordered the 2XL and returned the XL (BTD does make returns easy.). PERFECT fit. If Castelli could be honest about their sizing, I'd give them 5 stars. Or I just have to accept, that in their world, I'm huge.
