Reviews
All my Castelli kit is in medium, however with the Gabba rain jacket I could barely get my arm in the sleeve let alone wear it. The sizing is so small my girlfriend couldn't even wear it and she's 50kg! Construction and materials are excellent but the sizing is ridiculously tight, you need to consider going up a size or two.

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.
