Product Information
Full details
The Castelli Climber's A/C Short Sleeve Jersey is engineered for competitive cyclists and enthusiasts who prioritize maximum airflow and minimal weight during intense hot-weather riding. This jersey excels by combining professional-grade 3D breathable fabrics with an aerodynamic fit to keep you cool when temperatures reach up to 40 °C (104 °F). While its ultra-lightweight construction provides superior ventilation, users should note that the specialized fabric offers limited UPF 13 sun protection, making it essential to apply sunscreen for long days under intense UV exposure.

FAQs
What temperature range is this jersey best for?
It is rated for use between 22-40 °C (71-104 °F).
Is the fabric see-through?
Due to the 3D-mesh nature of the fabric to maximize airflow, it is very thin and highly breathable, which may result in a degree of transparency.
How much does the jersey weigh?
The jersey weighs approximately 157 grams.
Does it offer sun protection?
Yes, the fabric is rated for UPF 13, which blocks over 90% of UV rays. However, additional sunscreen is recommended for long periods of direct exposure.
How should I wash this jersey?
Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle, do not use softeners, and hang to dry.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper path is free of debris; use a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Jersey feels loose or bunches up during riding
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on Castelli's tight Race fit sizing chart; the garment should feel like a second skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jersey, always wash in cool water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a garment bag to protect the delicate, highly-breathable fabrics from snagging. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents that can clog the pores of the 3D fabric and reduce its cooling efficiency. Air dry the garment in the shade; the technical fibers are heat-sensitive and should never be placed in a tumble dryer. When fitting the jersey, expect a tight, 'Race' fit—this is intentional to maximize the aerodynamic and moisture-wicking benefits of the proprietary textiles.
