FAQs

How should I wash the Castelli Squadra Stretch Jacket?

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and hang dry. Do not tumble dry.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It offers protection against light mist, but not heavy rain.

What is the benefit of the stretch panels?

The stretch panels provide a close-to-body fit, enhancing aerodynamics. They also allow a full range of motion and contribute to the jacket's overall comfort.

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The jacket is ideal for cool and windy conditions. It's designed for use in early morning rides, descents, or when the weather is not too cold.

Where are the reflective elements located?

The reflective details are located on the chest and lower back to increase visibility in low-light conditions.

Can I put this jacket in the dryer?

No, do not put this jacket in the dryer. Heat can damage the fabric and affect the water repellency. Always hang dry.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

The water repellency may diminish over time. Re-proof the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray when necessary.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight.

Check the Castelli sizing chart to ensure you have the correct size. Consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer clothing underneath.

Water is penetrating the jacket.

While the jacket is water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof. In heavy rain, water may penetrate the fabric. Consider using a dedicated waterproof jacket for rainy conditions.

Reflective details are not as visible.

Ensure the reflective areas are clean. Consider washing the jacket to remove any dirt or grime that might be reducing reflectivity.
