Castelli #GIRO109 Cima Coppi Short-Sleeve Jersey - Men's Jade Green, XXL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the Cima Coppi Jersey on a big mountain day, and at 118 grams, I barely knew it was there. The Strada micromesh moved moisture off my skin the entire climb, and the tight fit stayed put without ever feeling restrictive. The zippered security pocket is a small detail, but it made a real difference for keeping my card and cash in place on technical descents.""The road above the treeline has a particular quality to it, thin air and open sky, and nothing between you and the effort except the grade itself. The Castelli Cima Coppi Jersey takes its name from the highest pass of the Giro d'Italia, Passo Giau, a climb where the race meets the sky and riders find out what they are actually made of. It is a fitting namesake for a jersey this light, this breathable, and this singularly focused on getting out of the way when the mountains demand everything. Strada micromesh stretch fabric covers the body in a ventilated structure that manages moisture and airflow simultaneously, keeping the skin as dry and cool as possible through long sustained climbs. The tight fit tracks the body closely to reduce aerodynamic drag without pinching through the shoulders or restricting hip mobility on steep pitches. Raw-cut sleeve hems eliminate any binding at the arm, a full-length YKK Vislon zipper handles temperature control on the way back down, and a silicone gripper at the waist keeps the jersey from lifting during hard efforts out of the saddle. Three open rear pockets carry nutrition and kit, while a fourth zippered pocket keeps valuables secure through whatever the descent throws at you."
