The vest fit is slim, but the fabric does stretch a bit. It is good at blocking the wind on chilly morning rides. I have not used it in the rain though. The back is longer to help protect the rider’s bum from rain spray. The only item I have issue with is the predominately black fabric on the back of the vest. I purchased the orange color in order to be seen by motorists, and the black back defeats this purpose.

Unusual sizing is too short

I ordered this vest in XL which appears to be the best size for me but it's WAAAAAYYY too short and at the same time was too large in circumference. I'm returning it before using because it would have been yet another flappy vest on descents. I wear a size Large jersey in many other brands and given the feedback of other reviewers here, I ordered the XL. It's about 2" shorter than a Large Rapha or Panache jersey. Seems strange since this is intended to wear over a jersey. Can't order smaller and can't order larger. This vest supposed to be form fitting, but I would disagree with that assessment.

Great vest but runs extremely tight. I bought 3XL and even that was way too tight. I usually wear XL or sometimes XXL depending on the brand.

Size XL in all my Castelli jerseys so I tried this in XL also. Fit is snug and perfect over the top of a Castelli jersey. Wore this when temp started around 45 degrees up to 60 degrees. Entire ride was perfect, didn't end up unzipping or taking it off during the ride. I will plan on using this instead of my Alpha ROS 2 jacket if the temp gets over 50 during the ride.

This was a perfect choice for riding in San Diego for a late morning to mid day even during the over cast/windy or chilly days. I can arrange warmth by the different base layer. I also tried Castelli Alpha RoS 2 Light Jacket, but unless I ride at dawn all the time, the jacket will be a little too much (still very well designed jacket and sizing is the same). SIZING: Usual CASTELLI size Many reviews mention that it runs small; however, in my case, size Medium was perfect. I usually wear size medium on Castelli products. Just to make sure, I even ordered size Small to try and I can even wear small as well if I wanted it be snug. For a reference, I am on a small side: Suit Size 36S or 38S, (depending on a fit), pants size 30, dress shirt 15.5/31-32, shirt/t-shirt size small or medium (mostly small) and almost all European size in 46.

Beautifully made product. However, the sizing is way way off. I am 5’11” under 150lbs and ended up with an xl which still fits snuggly. So, I suggest going 2 sizes above your usual size. Return to CC of the L was easy. No issues and free returns.

Bought XL (see previous review) and returned for an XXL. Snug fit, but when riding in the cooling fall days, I don't notice the vest. I use it over the jersey, and the vest keeps me snug and warm on my road bike rides into the hills. Still, be aware that it sizes small.

My best vest - the material is the key with this vest. I have several other top quality vests, but this is the winner hands down. It blocks the wind and light precipitation. When unzipped it doesn't flap in the wind! The material is curved to the body to prevent the flapping.

This vest is excellent. It's warm and windproof but breathes well so you don't overheat. It's water-resistant and did a great job keeping my core warm and dry on a recent ride with a constant drizzle and lots of roadspray. It's incredibly lightweight and rolls up small so you can stow it easily. It is snug and close-fitting, so I'd say it runs slightly small. My experience is limited of course, but I'd order whatever size you would order if you were buying a form-fitting jersey. The one sizing thing that isn't quite perfect is the height. It's shorter than most of my jerseys, so my jersey sticks out, especially if I've got stuff in my jersey pockets. That's surprising especially when wearing a Castelli jersey (you'd think they'd be sized the same way), but on the other hand, I've only worn the vest with club-fit jerseys so maybe it's not an issue with form-fitting. I also am proportionally taller in my torso than some folks my height, so it could just be me. In any event, this is a pretty minor issue; it's aesthetic not functional. All the way around I love Castelli's Rossa Corsa products and this vest doesn't disappoint.

I like the Goretex and the light weight. Bought the XL, based on my chest and waist measurement, and had to return for the 2XL, which is still snug. (I have an American football player's build -- 218 pounds and 6 feet tall). Great quality but runs real small. The return and exchange worked great and was prompt.

This vest is top-notch! I was in between buying this and another perfetto, and I’m glad I got this. Very versatile piece and I can take it in slightly warmer temperatures than I do my perfetto light short sleeve.
