FAQs
What is the recommended temperature range for this base layer?
It is designed for temperatures between 15°C and 28°C.
Can I wear this in the winter?
No, the open mesh construction is designed for breathability and moisture management in mild to warm conditions, not for insulation.
Does the base layer fit true to size?
Yes, Castelli gear is generally designed for a performance, skin-tight fit. Check the size chart to ensure the garment remains snug for optimal wicking.
Why is the fabric see-through?
The open 3D mesh design is intentional to maximize airflow and ensure that moisture does not get trapped against your skin.
Should I tumble dry this product?
No, it is recommended to air dry the base layer to protect the integrity of the technical mesh fabric.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels slightly itchy
The open mesh texture is designed for performance; ensure the garment is properly fitted. If irritation persists, check for any skin sensitivity and ensure it is washed with gentle, non-scented detergent.
Fabric snags easily
Always handle the garment carefully when putting it on or taking it off, avoiding sharp objects or jewelry. Use a dedicated laundry bag when machine washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pro Mesh 2.0, proper care is essential. Due to the delicate nature of the 3D mesh fabric, it is recommended to wash the garment in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging on zippers or hooks from other cycling apparel. Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and always air dry; avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fibers. The base layer is designed to be worn as a skin-tight fit, so ensure you select the appropriate size to allow the mesh to make proper contact with the skin for effective performance.
