Hopefully this jacket isn't the same...
Stuff that I've bought from them include. Aero shoe covers, Sanremo Speedruit 2.0, Sorpaso Bib Knickers, Aero Gloves, Rosso Corsa Pittards etc... I can't remember all of it. The bib knickers were "cheap" so I wasnt expecting much from them. They are becoming undone on the stitching of the chamy. The pittards (my fiancee's fault) were put in the washer and holes on the palm of the hands followed promptly.. that was crappy because those were $65 dollar gloves!!! My $18 Giro gloves have taken a beating in the washer and thousands of miles on the road and still hold great. The speed suit, which is supposed to be their top of the line equipment, is becoming undone near the zipper on the belly... A lot of money for something that sucks. I try to avoid buying castelli anymore but their stuff looks so good that sometimes I pull the plug either way.
