Castelli Podium Collection Agnel Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 15, 2011

I own several different Castelli jerseys. All are very good, though fit certainly differs between their various offerings. The Logo series fits me best, that is until I wore the Agnel.

When I first put it on it felt snug around the chest and shoulders, but as soon as I got on the bike the Agnel felt like a custom fit - spot on. It is definitely cut to fit a stretched out road rider, not a cafe lounger. Sleeves are a comfortable length, coming a bit over my biceps and not too tight.

The fabric is very comfortable with temps in the low 90s. I got the black version, so likely won't wear in sunny, hot temps. The styling is sublime. Just about as perfect a jersey as I'm able to imagine.

I typically wear a Large in Castelli jerseys.
Note that I'm 5-7, 190 lbs, 40 inch chest, fairly broad shoulders. Your mileage may vary.

I must say that I was a bit skeptical per the sizing issues. I went for a large and the fit is right on for me (I have a 34" waist). I have short legs (28" inseam) and low waist. No waist roll-over, no leg grips on top of my knees, ala Pearls. Best fitting cycle shorts I've ever tried. Very comfortable from the get go, even on a mid-90s very humid day. The KISS3 pad is not bulky, is super comfy, conforms well and dries while riding when I'm not pushing hard.

I have Pearl Elite and Pro shorts - nice shorts and much more expensive - the Pro In-r-cool is a notch cooler. But I like the Castelli Nero shorts better for reasons stated. I'm impressed.
