Got this earlier in the spring, hoping for something of a windbreaker, but still lightweight, for cooler rides. Not quite as wind-resistant as I'd like, so a base layer along with a jersey or other layer will usually be required. Good quality construction, though, and snug-fitting. I'm 6'0" 156# and slender in upper body, and a size L fits me snugly, close to a "race-fit" especially with layers beneath this jacket. Very "slenderizing", and not a lot of extra room in the arms - if you're muscular, you might want to consider sizing up one or even two sizes, since Castelli's stuff mostly seems to run smaller. Do like the high collar to keep cool winds at bay, and good elastic at the wrists will keep ballooning to a minimum. Mine is the silver/gray colorway, very stylish and classy-looking, and will go with most any color scheme if you're into that. Also rolls-up & packs small into a jersey pocket when not needed, and wrinkling is minimal. NO pockets on back, but should accommodate stuff in jersey pockets beneath OK. Should be easy to keep clean, too.

I first wore these legwarmers on a 20 degree day. My legs were warm- if only I'd avoid accounted for the shorts. I would wear these on mid spring and fall rides where the mornings are cool and then warm up significantly. The legwarmers are not bulky. They can be tucked into a shirt pocket when they get too warm.

I�ve been wearing shorts with a chamois and regular tights for years. Decided to try these so I could just have one layer. They were comfortable, didn�t ride up or slide down, WARM, and I love the ankle band for visibility. I love Castelli gear in general and their cold weather stuff is my go to. I rode these in a windy 45 mile ride in the upper 30s and was very happy with them. Will be getting more for next winter!
