Espresso R-A/D Vest—wind-resistant, breathable, and packable with rear storage for long rides
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This vest strikes the perfect balance between wind resistance and breathability. The front blocks the wind effectively, while the back and sides keep air circulating to prevent overheating. The three rear pockets are a rare and welcome feature on a lightweight vest, making it even more functional for long days in the saddle."
A great cycling vest should provide protection without compromise, and the Castelli Espresso R-A/D Vest does exactly that. Designed for riders who demand performance, this vest features a stretch woven front panel that keeps the wind at bay while maintaining just the right amount of airflow to regulate body temperature. The Air-O Stretch back and side panels prevent overheating, ensuring that we stay comfortable even when pushing the pace.
Functionality sets this vest apart, with three rear pockets offering easy-access storage—a rare feature in lightweight cycling vests. The two-way YKK® zipper allows for quick ventilation on climbs and easy pocket access on the move. The elastic waist keeps everything securely in place, while the reflective back tab adds an extra layer of visibility for early-morning or late-evening rides.
Lightweight, packable, and built to perform, the Espresso R-A/D Vest is the ideal layer for unpredictable conditions, giving us the confidence to ride comfortably no matter what the road brings.
