Aria 2 Vest delivers windproof front protection and stretch mesh ventilation
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Aria 2 is one of the lightest wind vests I’ve used, and it fits like a second skin. No flapping, great ventilation, and it disappears in a jersey pocket. The two-way zipper is clutch for venting on long climbs. It’s a must for transitional weather."
The Aria 2 Vest is Castelli’s lightest and most packable wind shell, built for cyclists who demand efficient protection without bulk or overheating. The ultralight woven microfiber front provides a windproof barrier for early rides, breezy descents, and shifting shoulder-season temps. On the sides and back, a high-stretch striped mesh enhances ventilation and delivers a close, flap-free fit that feels natural in an aggressive riding position.
Designed with a tailored silhouette, the Aria 2 eliminates the parachute effect common in traditional vests. A YKK® Vislon® zipper opens from the top or bottom, allowing riders to fine-tune airflow mid-effort without removing layers. The entire vest stows into its own integrated stuff sack, taking up minimal space in a jersey pocket.
Engineered for performance-focused riders who value function, fit, and packability, the Aria 2 Vest is a smart addition to any kit—whether you're rolling out into uncertain weather or prepping for a fast, exposed descent.
