Product Information
Full details
The Castelli A Tutta Short Sleeve Jersey is designed for road cyclists who demand a balance between professional-grade performance and daily training comfort. Built upon the proven Competizione 2 architecture, it provides an aerodynamic, high-performance fit that accommodates various body shapes through super-stretchy fabrics; however, riders should note that the specialized fit is tailored for an athletic, close-to-body feel which may require sizing consideration for those preferring a looser cut.

FAQs
Is this a race-fit jersey?
Yes, it is designed with a high-performance, close-to-body fit similar to the Competizione 2, though it uses stretchy materials to increase comfort for a wider range of riders.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener will coat the technical fibers and inhibit the jersey's moisture-wicking and breathability performance.
How should I store the jersey?
Store it folded or hung in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading and the elastic components from degrading.
Does it provide sun protection?
The fabrics are designed for breathability, so while they provide some coverage, they are not specifically rated for UV protection. Use sunscreen underneath on long, sunny rides.
Why is the back fabric different from the front?
The front and back use Strada micromesh for ventilation, while the sides and sleeves use Tailwind dimpled fabric to provide a more aerodynamic and precise fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove road grit.
Jersey riding up during a ride
Ensure the silicone gripper at the waist is clean and that you are not wearing thick layers underneath that prevent the gripper from touching your skin or shorts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jersey lasts, always follow the care label instructions. It is recommended to machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the technical properties of the moisture-wicking fibers. Hang the jersey to air dry immediately after washing; avoid the tumble dryer, which can damage the silicone grippers and the integrity of the stretch fabrics. When putting on the jersey, pull the fabric gently over your shoulders and adjust the hem so the silicone gripper makes direct contact with your cycling shorts for optimal stability.
