Nice gilet but not having a lock on the bottom zip is an oversight, had to size up massively to stop it trying to unzip itself when worn over anything other than a short sleeve summer jersey
Product Details
Castelli Espresso Vest
Lightweight, packable and wind-resistant, the Castelli Espresso Vest is the perfect companion on days when you expect conditions to be variable. Be it cold winds in exposed areas or a chilly descent, you'll be able to pull on this gilet and benefit from the wind-resistant front. Despite blocking the wind, the stretch woven front also allows for some air permeability, increasing moisture management, and keeping you dry and comfortable. Highly breathable Air_O Stretch fabric on the back and sides of the gilet also contributes to excellent comfort and gives a tailored watt-saving fit. On the back, 3 pockets allow easy access to what you might need during your ride.

Reviews
I wanted to get a gilet for the spring rides to use early morning. Simon suggested that he order a couple of makes in three sizes for me to try. They arrived in store within a day and I went to try them and chose a Castelli Espresso gilet. I haven't tried it yet but the fit is great (medium for 38" chest) so I'll give it a go once it stops raining!!

About Castelli
At the front since 1876.
Castelli has been at the front of cycling apparel since 1876, founded in Milan as the original maker of pro race kit. From the first cycling jerseys to today's WorldTour-proven aero garments, the brand has spent nearly 150 years putting innovation onto the backs of the fastest riders in the world.
Castelli outfitted the first organised cycling teams in Italy and has been a constant presence in the pro peloton ever since. The Scorpion logo appears on more WorldTour podiums than almost any other apparel mark.
