Why We Like The Squadra Stretch Vest
We all know that as soon as we've reached the summit of that mountain pass we've been climbing for the last two hours, we're going to pull on an extra layer for protection against those shoulder season winds and temps. Castelli's Squadra Stretch Vest allows us to barrel down the mountain without distraction, and it features the windproofing we want to feel the fun and not the chill in the air.

Castelli Squadra Stretch Vest
- Size Bought:
- Large
- Height:
- 5' 9"
- Weight:
- 164
I give 4 Stars because I like to look, the style and the material. Outside of that the fit is much too tight and it doesn't have a 2 way zipper so it would have been nice to have one small back pocket for easier access gel packs or energy bars. I am 5'9", 164 lbs, 41" chest, 32" waist and I normally wear a medium and sometimes a large. I have an older Castelli Wind Vest in a large and it is a relaxed fit. I have an older Castelli jersey in a large and it fits very nice, not tight, not loose, just right. I ordered the Squadra Vest in a large and the fit is more of a Race Fit, very tight. When compared to my old Castelli vest it is 2.5" smaller in the chest and mid-section. I worried that an XL will be too long so I am returning.

Inaccuate Sizing and Description
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- XL
- Height:
- 5' 7"
- Weight:
- 155
Based on the Castelli numeric sizing in the chart, I ordered an XL. I am usually a men's medium. The XL I received is more like a men's small, so I had to return it. Also, contrary to the description, there is no mesh back-- the back is the same not-breathable semi-transparent fabric as the front. There arenarrow more-breathable panels on the sizes.

Runs Very Very Very Small
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- 3x
- Weight:
- 190
Looks to be of excellent quality but runs very, very, very small. Ordered a 3x because I wanted it loose enough to layer over at least one shirt and had to return it because I couldn't even zip it with nothing else on underneath. Have never taken a 3x in anything!
