Castelli Climber's 2.0 (£80)
Castelli Climber's 2.0 (£80)
A lot of top-end lightweight jerseys have started to eschew traditional fabrics altogether in favour of an almost entirely mesh construction.
Castelli’s Climbers 2.0 jersey is a perfect example, using 75g/m2 fabric on the front and shouders and supplementing that with a thicker, StradaPro 3D fabric on the back to add support and provide UPF16 protection.
Castelli have even made the arm grippers mesh as well, showing they’re fully committed to making a jersey as light as possible in both the breathability and weight sense – a large in the jersey weighs in at a claimed 101g.
Wanting to keep it race ready, Castelli have managed to give the Climber’s 2.0 the same fit as their Aero Race 5.0 jersey, and they claim it has a slight aero advantage over other lightweight jerseys for that very reason.
