It offers an exceptionally lightweight and breathable experience, making it perfect for intense efforts in temperatures between 15-28°C; however, its thin construction means it provides minimal thermal insulation, so it is strictly intended for warm-weather use.

FAQs
What is the ideal temperature range for this base layer?
It is designed to perform optimally in temperatures between 15°C and 28°C.
Can I use this for winter cycling?
No, it is designed for warm weather moisture management and provides no significant insulation.
Does this item fit true to size?
Castelli gear is known for a 'race fit' which is tight against the body. If you prefer a less compressed feel, you may consider sizing up.
How heavy is the base layer?
The garment weighs approximately 53g.
Is this machine washable?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a delicate cycle and a protective laundry bag to prevent damage to the 3D mesh.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging on jersey zipper
Always layer carefully and ensure your jersey zipper is closed before pulling the base layer taut.
Feeling too cold in 15°C weather
The Pro Mesh 2.0 is highly breathable; if 15°C feels chilly, pair it with a windproof jersey or gilet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pro Mesh 2.0, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C. Use a mesh laundry bag to prevent the delicate mesh fabric from snagging on zippers or hooks.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can degrade the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
- Compatibility: The base layer is designed as a form-fit garment. It should be worn directly against the skin under your standard cycling jersey. Ensure you select the correct size (S-XL available) to maintain the intended moisture-wicking effect.
