If you’re not in the PNW, you can likely get away with a warming long-sleeve jersey in colder conditions without the need for a water-repellent layer. Castelli specializes in crafting cycling layers for nearly every situation the dedicated cyclist will encounter, and the Pisa Thermal Jersey fills the “cool but dry” category for the modern rider. The form-fitting but compliant Pisa Thermal nails the demands of the modern rider, fitting close to the body but allowing for a broad range of motion when you take the exploration route off-road into the unknown, or over-stuff those pockets for a 6-hour early spring day at the office. Castelli boasts the standard fixings on the Pisa Mid with an elastic hem that holds tight for a stylish on-bike image and a full-length zipper with a neck cuff to prevent winter beard growth from incessantly catching throughout the entire ride. Slimming wrist cuffs fit under cold-weather gloves, and a drop tail maintains fit when you decide to break out that time trial bike.
