This is a nicely made, thin, lightweight top suitable for warm days. The material is soft and breathable. Castelli clothing is notoriously small and even though I bought the size recommended by the size calculator on the Castelli website (XXL) it was still too small and I had to return the first one. The elastic across the top of the rear pockets is a bit loose and as such doesn't close off the top of the pocket as much as I would like.

Q & A

Hi how does the fit of this jersey compare to the espresso jersey
Hi Mike, Castelli list the Prologo Lite 2 as a regular fit, so it sits close to the body without being a full race cut. That puts it in much the same territory as the Espresso, which is also close-fitting but a touch more forgiving than Castelli's race jerseys. If you're between sizes on either, Castelli suggest sizing up. Many thanks Joe W
