Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Help me find race-cut vest to purchase.

I'm looking to purchase a lightweight minimal race-cut vest that's preferably transparent. My team doesn't offer a cycling vest this season and would like to buy one that would match the kit (hence being transparent and minimal in design, i.e. without logos everywhere).

Here's a picture of decent vest I found online (Castelli Teseo):



Any suggestions for a vest that has similar features and or a better design would be much appreciated.

If that is the type of vest you want...and you found it online...why not buy that one?

I like descente, the mesh back is nice but go an extra size smaller.

Try the Cannondale Chrono, which is made by Sugoi. It is a super-thin, breathable tri-specific vest with a 3/4 zipper and the standard three pockets in back. They fit snugly because they are compression clothing, which promotes better blood flow and muscle optimization at exertion.

BikeRadar's been reviewing a number of vests recently (Fall), and they slammed the Castelli Sotille

I find realcyclist.com to have some pretty honest reviews too, though not all items have rider feedback
