Castelli Aero Race 5.0 Short Sleeve Jersey

Castelli Aero Race 5.0 Short Sleeve Jersey Info

Aerodynamic clothing has made a huge impact in the pro peloton and Castelli, with the help of the Garmin (now Cannondale-Garmin) WorldTour team, has been at the forefront of that push. One of the most notable results has been Castelli's Aero Race Jersey, and the new 5.0 version packs a whole lot of features into a full-zip package.

The 2013 Aero Race jersey was sleek and fast—and the form-fitting 5.0 version debuting in 2015 represents a very impressive additional 12 watts of savings in wind tunnel tests, according to Castelli.

The Aero Race 5.0 Jersey FZ is all about performance and cheating the wind, but it's able to do so in a scant package: the jersey weighs in at only 103 grams.

The Velocity Dry fabric on the front excels at wicking and keeping you dry, and the jersey's mesh arm band grippers cut through the wind, of course, but they also shed moisture and allow any heat to quickly dissipate. And when the road tips up and aerodynamics become less of a concern, the full-zipper in front allows for full ventilation.

A compression band along the bottom of the jersey keeps it from riding up or bouncing down, even when the pockets are overstuffed. And even the pockets themselves are designed to be as streamlined as possible.

The Aero Race 5.0 Jersey comes looking to give you free speed.
