The Squadra Stretch jacket is your go - to for cool - weather cycling or long descents. Its stretch panels hug your body snugly, getting rid of any flapping fabric. This is a modern take on the wind shell. Instead of the old - fashioned, non - stretch nylon shell that needed a loose fit, our jacket features high - stretch, tightly knit panels on the sides and sleeves. It gives a close - to - body fit, perfect for aerodynamics on all terrains and better heat retention. It's super compact and can easily fit into your jersey pocket. The stretch panels are water - repellent for light mist, though it's not a full - fledged rain jacket. Product features include coated ripstop nylon on the front, back, and front of sleeves to block the wind, high - stretch panels for a great fit, a high collar to keep out drafts, reflective details on the chest and lower back for low - light visibility. It weighs 138gm and is suitable for temperatures between 10°C - 18°C (50°F - 64°F), with a performance fit.
How to use: Put on the Castelli Squadra Stretch Light Jacket when the weather is cool or before a long descent. It can also be worn at the start of your ride until it gets warmer. Just slip it on like a regular jacket and enjoy your ride. Note: This jacket is not designed for heavy rain. If it starts to pour, find shelter. It's mainly for light mist and wind protection. Maintenance: After use, simply machine wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Let it air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners as they may reduce the water - repellency of the stretch panels.
