Castelli Men's Squadra Stretch Jacket Military Green/Dark Gray

The Squadra Stretch shell is your perfect companion for cool-weather cycling rides or long descents. It effectively blocks the wind, keeping you comfortable. The stretch panels on the sides and sleeves are made of a high-stretch, tightly knit fabric. This allows the jacket to fit close to your body, eliminating flapping and providing a modern, aero look on any terrain. It also retains more heat compared to loose-fitting jackets. This wind shell is a modern take on the classic design. It's compact enough to fit easily into your jersey pocket. The stretch panels are water-repellent, useful in light mist, but it's not a full-fledged rain jacket.

How to use: Put on the jacket at the start of your ride when it's cool or keep it in your pocket for long descents. Slip it on when the wind picks up. Attention: Although the stretch panels are water-repellent, don't use it in heavy rain as it's not a proper rain jacket. Maintenance: Wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Let it air dry. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric's stretch and water-repellent properties.
