Sigma had this at a great price of just £30 so thought I'd give it a go for the price it looks decent and has a sporty cut no flapping baggy shoulders to be found. word of warning castelli is sized small I am a 43 inch chest and the XXL is just right the stretch panels along the arms and sides make it slightly more forgiving. It does manage to block the majority of the wind off me and it is water repellent so a small shower you should be able to stay dry I have ran the arm under the tap and it does eventually soak through but does put up some resistance.would definitely recommend if you are after a cheap comfortable wind blocker that will easily fold up into a jersey pocket.

Castelli Squadra Stretch Cycling Jacket
The Castelli Squadra Stretch Jacket offers good protection on windy days thanks to the coated ripstop nylon in the main body and on the front of the sleeves where the elements hit hardest. Knit panels on the sides and back of sleeves introduce ventilation to keep you at a comfortable temperature and add stretch for freedom of movement despite the close fit.

If you're unfamiliar with your Castelli size, we recommend you go up one size to obtain the best fit possible. Note that you do not need to size up for jackets or vests; please select your normal jersey size.
Castelli clothing is designed for its intended use and should be comfortable when on your bike in a riding position. Your garment should be snug to provide you with moisture-wicking capabilities, as an aerodynamic aid and prevent any fabric from flapping in the wind.
If you require any advice on Castelli sizing, please do not hesitate to contact us.
A. Chest: Holding the tape horizontally, measure under your armpits with your arms relaxed at your sides, around the fullest part of your chest.
B. Waist: Holding the tape horizontally, measure around your natural waistline, across the belly button, keeping the tape a bit loose.
C. Hips: Holding the tape horizontally, measure around the largest part of your hips, keeping the feet close together.
D. Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the base of the ankle bone

Q & A
2 questions answered
I would wear this over a Castelli thermal long-sleeved jersey (size L). Is the Large jacket big enough to go over my jersey, or should I go a size up?
Hi there, If the large fits well in the Jersey you can stick with the large in the Jacket, Many thanks Joe W
Is this jacket waterproof?
Hi Martin, This is windproof only, Many thanks Joe W

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.
