Castelli uses an aerodynamic, race-ready fit. If you prefer a looser fit, many users recommend sizing up.

Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clean any road debris out of the track using a soft brush.
Jersey sliding up while riding
Check that the silicone grippers at the waist are clean of oils or sunscreen, as residue can prevent them from gripping effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the technical fabrics, always wash the jersey in cool water with a mild, technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking properties of the material. Always hang the jersey to dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. When putting on the jersey, ensure the silicone grippers at the waist are flush against your bib shorts to maximize the non-slip performance. The jersey is fully compatible with all standard cycling bib shorts.
