FAQs

What type of cycling is this sweatshirt best for?

It is designed for all-road cycling, including gravel, road, and mixed-terrain rides, offering comfort and performance across various surfaces.

How does the fabric manage moisture?

The Interlock 115g fabric with 1% polyester is engineered for excellent humidity management, wicking sweat away from the skin to keep you dry.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This sweatshirt is ideal for moderate temperatures. For colder weather, it can be used as a mid-layer over a base layer or under a more robust outer shell.

How many pockets does it have?

It features three standard rear pockets for easy access and an additional zippered safety pocket for securing valuables.

What is the 'average fit'?

The 'average fit' means it is not overly tight like a race fit, nor excessively loose. It's designed for comfort and freedom of movement for a wide range of cyclists.

What material is the zipper?

It uses a YKK VISLON hinge zipper, known for its durability and smooth operation. It is partially covered for a cleaner look.

How should I clean the sweatshirt?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang dry or tumble dry on low. Do not use fabric softener.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels less breathable over time

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly after washing. Consider a specialized sports wash if performance decline persists.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or even a graphite pencil lead to the teeth for smoother operation.

Fit feels too loose or too tight

Refer to the size chart and ensure accurate body measurements were taken. If the fit is consistently off, consider if a different size or model from the CASTELLI range might be more suitable.
