Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is not caught and apply a tiny amount of dry zipper lubricant if necessary.
Jersey feels too tight in the chest or shoulders.
The A Blocco features a race-fit; if you prefer more room, consider sizing up for your next purchase.
Excessive piling of fabric.
Avoid contact with rough surfaces, such as Velcro on gloves or saddle bags, which can snag the delicate micromesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your A Blocco jersey, it is recommended to wash it in cold water on a delicate cycle, ideally inside a laundry bag to protect the delicate mesh panels. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce their effectiveness. Always air dry the garment in the shade; the technical fabrics are designed to dry quickly, so machine drying is unnecessary and potentially damaging to the elastic fibers. For sizing, refer to the Castelli fit guide, keeping in mind that the 'Squadra' base model is designed for a close, body-hugging aesthetic.
