Jumping on the bike knowing you've got a full day of huge vertical gains ahead of you takes a special kind of motivation, and if you've got it, kudos. But even if you're all sorts of jazzed up to earn a few new PR's in your local hill climb or training ride, a little extra encouragement to get out there in the morning never hurts. The Castelli Climber's 2.0 Full-Zip Men's Jersey delivers in both minimalist aesthetics and function, with an aerodynamic design working to reduce drag so you can ride faster, with less effort, and stay cool while you do it.
Inspired by the relentless alpine climbs of the World Tour circuit, Castelli used lightweight StradaPro 3D polyester and Flusso 4D mesh to make the jersey as breathable as possible when you're riding on hot, energy-sapping days. The whisper-thin fabrics keep sweat moving off your skin so you stay as dry and cool as possible while climbing. As the jersey is cut in an aero silhouette, don't be surprised to find it following a next-to-skin fit that feels tight when you're wearing it off the bike. Castelli kit is known for being tight across the chest and shorter in length than other brands, but it will all make sense when you're tucked into a riding position and the jersey falls in place to follow your every body movement in the saddle.

Odd fit, won't stay zipped.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: XL
I have the first gen of this jersey and love it. I bought it in XL which is what I wear in all Castelli tops. This version is fit slightly more snug, but the larger problem is that it won't stay zipped, even if I zip it all the way up. The zipper opens itself up to about halfway down my chest. I'm fairly lanky and have a 42" chest. I would consider a XXL, but there is extra room in the gut already and I think the fit would be sloppy.

I have this jersey and love it. It doesn’t mention anything anywhere about SFP rating. Should I assume it doesn’t offer any? Might be best with a base layer for longer rides.

Iâm 6â0â and 205. I wear an XXL. Fits nicely and the fabric is great for the high humidity of south Florida. Keeps you nice and cool. Pockets hold everything I need.

This wears awesome in hot weather. I sized one up. It feels awkward and out of place off the bike, but is very comfortable on the bike. Definitely tailored for the riding position. I use mine on long gravel rides.
Kevin P.I wear a size Large SanRemo 3.2 kit. And it fits fine. Would you recommend a Large in this item, or XL? Chest is about 40", 32" waist. Thanks.
Robert PI would try xl

I am a straight up MED shorts and LG Top in Castelli so i am surprised this jersey is too small. Otherwise great super light jersey with a very nice durable full length zipper. Would love an XL but appears sold out.
John CeruttiRun really small
Incredible product but runs very small. Order on size up
Esteban VarelaEmployeePretty nice design
This is a very good looking jersey, it ran a little bit small, so I'd say probably you should get +1 size

Best for Hot Weather

Compared to Alp-X by Gore and Giordana (Astana 2017 official), this is the coolest jersey, period. This was tested under similar conditions in Miami weather in october (85 to +90 F). The quality of the fabric is excellent, all three pockets kept a water full 21oz Camelbak bottle without any problem. No dying whatsoever in the first had wash even considering mine is the black/orange. I generally use Medium but Castelli sizing requires Large or as in this case XL. Even for a snug race like fit.

I really like Castelli stuff, and this one was no different! Very pleased with the quality materials and craftsmanship that goes in to their products. I would probably size up, as these tend to run small
Tracy C.Height:5'10"Weight:188lbsNewer jerseys cut even smaller
- Fit: Runs small
I have worn Castelli jerseys for years. The last two I have purchased seem to be smaller than ever. I have always worn XL. The last two have needed be XXL. If you're a long time Castelli buyer, size up one more for this jersey. I am not fat at all. Chest won't stay zippered up.

Great jersey. I bought 2 of these. The comments about "size up" or "2 sizes up" should be translated as "pay attention to the size chart". I have a 41" chest/33" waist and the XL fits perfectly, as the size chart suggests. I can wear an M in some brands and an L in most brands. I think some riders just don't want an L or an XL in their closet, which is a weird hangup.
Anirudh S.My Perfetto LS jersey in size M is a tight fit. This Climbers SS jersey in size L is a slightly loose fit. It's not about the shame of having a size L in the closet. It's just that Castelli sizing is driving me nuts.
Castelli is notorious for their inaccurate sizing. I'm 5' 10", 150 lbs, 32 inch waist, and the XL Climbers Jersey is very snug.
Yes, pay attention to the size chart, and then order at least one size up. My XL says it's for a minimum 43" chest, which is way off the mark.
I have lots of Castelli jerseys, base layers, and a Castelli jacket. All are XL, I'm a medium in any other brand.
