Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to slide

Jersey slipping up during the ride
Check that the silicone gripper at the waist is clean; if it is dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jersey, always wash it in cold water on a delicate cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce their effectiveness. Always zip the jersey closed before washing to prevent the YKK teeth from snagging other garments. The jersey is designed with a neutral fit, making it compatible with various Castelli base layers depending on how much extra warmth you require. Hang-dry the garment in a shaded area to preserve the elasticity of the silicone grippers.
