Product Information
Full details
The Castelli Sanremo S Speed Suit is designed for competitive cyclists and road racers who prioritize maximum aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing the versatility of a traditional jersey-and-bib setup. It combines the speed of a time trial suit with the practical storage and comfort of road cycling apparel, though it may feel more compressive and form-fitting than standard cycling kits for those unaccustomed to race-cut gear.

FAQs
Can I wear this for long-distance training?
Yes, the Progetto X2 Air seat pad is specifically designed for comfort during the longest and toughest rides.
How does the sizing compare to standard Castelli jerseys?
The Sanremo S features a race-fit; it is designed to be very tight. If you are between sizes, we recommend consulting the Castelli size chart or sizing up for a slightly less aggressive fit.
Does it have pockets for nutrition?
Yes, the suit features three standard rear pockets, allowing you to carry gels, bars, or tools just like in a traditional kit.
Is the fabric see-through when stretched?
No, the fabrics are engineered for durability and coverage, though because it is a performance-fit, it will stretch significantly over the body.
Why is it called a 'Sanremo' suit?
It is named after the Sanremo Speed Suit introduced in 2011, which revolutionized road racing apparel by combining a jersey and bib short into a single, faster, one-piece construction.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the suit over shoulders
Ensure the front zipper is fully opened and the bib straps are not twisted before pulling the top section over your head.
Silicone grippers sliding or causing irritation
Ensure your skin is clean and free of oils or lotions before putting on the suit, and verify the grippers are lying flat against the skin.
Pros and Cons

- Pro-level comfort with the Progetto X2 Air pad

Cons

- More difficult to put on than traditional two-piece kits
- Premium investment compared to standard bib-and-jersey sets
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Sanremo S is a form-fitting piece of performance apparel, it should be worn directly against the skin without undergarments to ensure the Progetto X2 Air pad functions as intended. To put the suit on, treat it like a pair of bib shorts first, then pull the jersey section up over your shoulders. Care is critical to maintain the integrity of the aerodynamic fabrics: always machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle or hand wash. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can break down the silicone leg grippers and the technical fibers. Always air dry the suit in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the `Forza2` material.
