Re Moto GP styling.

For £250 it should be leather for what is just a polyester jacket - what a ridiclous price.

I use the Cannondale Le Carbon Jacket - at only £129 it's almost half the price and a really great jacket. For winter riding I can't recommend it enough. Sadly it's only good below 10C otherwise I would be wearing it all the time. Mine has more white flashes and is better suited for British dark winters.

I've always been impressed with Castelli but I wont be buying any of this stuff - colour, style - looks all wrong to me. The jacket looks like a bin bag and the gloves appear to have no padding or snot wipe (sorry, sweat) wipe. Even the overshoes - twice the price of Endura for similar neoprene.

Horrible innit? Never expected Castelli to knock this sort of stuff out.

Bought the overshoes, the logos were stuck together and started to peel off taking them out of the bag!!! returned! very surprised at that.

Do they also do this stuff in black?

If you inverted the colours on this, so it was mainly white, i'd buy it. I've felt the fabrics and it's very high quality stuff.

You need visability in the dark winter months, not stealth-ninja-wear...

Ha! Mannaggia means Damn in Italiano!

The guy wearing the jacket has been given one far too large for him - needs to go down a size. Wiggle will show you the red/white/black version which is much more visible. Fusione Jersey is the one to wear under the Mannaggia too.

It’s a shame the image is such a poor one, I have brought one and you need to get the size right by trying some on. Not for everyone I know, but the jacket is super slick, perfect for a true road cyclist who appreciates the quality of a good product. Also available in Red/white/black!

I have also brought some of the gloves and overshoes, for someone who suffers from cold fingers from weather or bad circulation, they are amazing. Neoprene is an interesting fabric, it blocks wind, doesn’t let water in, 3mm thick if enough padding for anyone, they look cool on also!

Sorry for the review, but a seriously happy customer!

I agree, the jacket is way too big for this guy.I bought one about two weeks ago. Its amazing light, warm with great breathability and a wide range of temperature regulation. The four-way stretch elbow and side panel inserts makes the tight-fitting and aerodynamic jacket feels comfortable even off the bike. Last thing, the sleeves are finally cutted long, so they cover the top of the gloves and won't leave in any cold air in.

I got the jacket together the new Castelli longsleeve baserlayer with nano-technology. Nice piece which works very well with my new jacket.

I'll stick with my Fugu jacket and Winter LL tights thanks!
