Castelli

Pisa Mid Limited Edition Jersey - Men's

My favorite jersey for chilly rides

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

The thermal weight is perfect for most conditions I’ll want to be out in. I love how the sleeves are actually cut long enough and don’t ride up my forearm since I’m tall and many other brands are cut a few inches too short. True to size for Castilli, which is a small compared to other brands. I usually wear M/L but always get XL in Castelli.

runs very small

I returned this product before using it

I own several Castelli jerseys all size large and they fit fine. This jersey in a large in this very tight. I did not like the very stretchy material.

Usual Castelli oddities - but good

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Was looking for a fall/spring long sleeve road jersey with just a little more warmth than summer fabric, and this seemed like the best of the few options available. The cloth is quite slinky and has just a hint of fleecy warmth without bulk. Color is dye sub (on the surface) and you can see the white beneath where it stretches, but that's okay. Good silicone gripper at the back, good cut around the neck & shoulders for riding position. As with my other Castelli jerseys, this one runs 2 sizes small (I'm 5' 9" 160lbs, a MED in Pearl Izumi & Louis Garneau). I tried the L as well but the torso was too snug. Sleeves are longer than they should be, but they taper at the ends and it's never been an issue. Good value for the $.

Second One ordered for Valentines Day!

My Husband lives this Jersey! So a second one has been ordered for him for Valentines day! The first was for Christmas for a cool Cycling Theme. He looks fantastic in it, and really enjoys the fit. We had to size him up though, as Castelli runs really small.... But once we figured the sizing out, it was all good! He is 6' 2" tall and weights 170, and required an XL to fit his trim tall frame. Love Castelli! I have a pair of their cycling gloves, and love them too! Thank you Backcountry and Castelli!

Best cool weather jersey I own.

I purchased this jersey to fill the gap of arm warmers and the heavy fleece jersey. This Pisa mid is perfect. Can be worn alone when in the low 60s to low 50s. Throw on a base layer and vest and you are good anywhere high 30s+. The best part is the big flexible pockets for stuffing vests, knee warmers, and food for those long winter training rides. I'm 5'8 145lbs and the small is perfect. I like jerseys to fit tight and usually order xs- however, there is not an xs option in this, but the sm fits similar. It does run a bit small if you are in-between sizes. I just placed an order for another.
