I've been happy with my Castelli bibs and jerseys. One of my favorite cool weather garments is a Castelli base layer that has a windstopping fabric on the front and a light wicking material on the back. It's an incredibly practical design.

Their stuff seems to be made everywhere: Macau, Romania, Italy, USA and more.

So you're saying I shouldn't KISS my ass?

if you could, i'm sure you would.

Of all the bits I've owned, I like my Castelli stuff the best. I think I'm going to try their bibs next- but the jerseys and the super-nice jacket I have from them are all very, very good in my mind.

I've got no beef with the way their cuts fit. Then again- this may be some reflection on the lack of manly muscle on my frame.

Incorrect. Cycling comfort is for Freds. Cycling fashion is for posers, like what you're becoming.

Half of my cycling wardrobe is Castelli via bonktown, some of the decals peel after multiple washes but everything fits great, is comfortable, and is constructed well.

What 'becoming'? I consider myself a well established Poser, which is far better than being what most of the idiots here are (including, apparently, yourself), which are Posers in Denial.

I found the opposite. I wear a medium in EVERYTHING. You name it, and I wear a medium. But my medium castelli jersey falls a tad short on me, so just a tiny bit of my skin is exposed at the waist line. I don't like that.

The quality though is very nice.

Why am I actually reading this thread?

I have two pieces of Castelli stuff and I like both of them except for the stupid names. The first one is Castelli "Thunder Pants". They are outstanding rain pants, but who in marketing came up with that name and who in management approved it? My wife got these for me off of Ebay at a substantial discount. She still thought they were expensive, but they really work as opposed to all the other rain pants I have ever owned including some expensive Gore-Tex ones.

The second one is a winter jacket that I picked up in the Atlanta Performance shop at 70% off. It is a "King Arthur" jacket. WTF does King Arthur have to do with cycling? It is a nice jacket at the price I bought it, but not at full retail.

Both items are very well made and fit me.

I love Castelli's stuff... but can rarely find the right size. I need like an XXXL. I'm not fat... 197lbs with 9% bodyfat. I guess more athletic/muscular types don't exist in europe.

great kiss pad and great lycra, but their bibs are wayyy too short in the torso area. i get lower back pain because they're pull down on my shoulders too much.

even with "euro fitting" accounted for, no 5'10 140lb man should be considered Large

No wonder Pcad likes Castelli stuff.

The Castelli Cervelo Cycling hat is tops.

how does capo forma compare to assosi? i have one capo forma jersey and am just wondering what % of the assos factor I am getting.

nothing compares.

I've been very happy with the 3 pair of Castelli socks I own.

Castelli's got you on the payroll now too, huh.. Will they be making the surely upcoming BikesDirect jersey?

i got a couple free castelli jerseys and shorts. the jersey is a super nice fitting/ feeling piece.

Thunder Pants. I like that.

That's what we called my son. When he was two.

That's a load of crap and you know it.

You should replace 'Peloton Dog' with Thunder Pants under your user name.

I'm telling you b. Nice friggin jersey. I was amazed. I'm thinking 'why the F don't the other companies make the clothing this nice'?

I'm getting the matching Test Team Bibs, and my Poser Wardrobe will be complete. Man, just picture it, Uncle Pcad, S2, Cervelo Test Team kit, the whole friggin Fredtastrophe.
