The Castelli Squadra Stretch vest has a new coated ripstop fabric that prevents wind from entering the front and protects against splashes on the back, while the tightly knitted side panels allow the vest to extend to accommodate a wide range of body shapes while maintaining a snug fit that eliminates the flapping of the fabric against the wind. The collar has a high cut and the back is elongated for extra protection. The play of colors given by the stretch panels and the reflective details on the chest and on the lower back give a touch of elegance to the design.
