Castelli Espresso 2 Long Sleeve Cycling Jersey
A light, long sleeve layer designed for cool starts, sunny days, and everything in between. The Espresso 2 Long Sleeve Jersey takes the rider favourite Espresso concept and refines it with improved fit, smarter pocket support, and Castelli’s advanced Air_O Stretch fabric. It’s the jersey you reach for when you want coverage without bulk, breathability without compromise, and a fit that feels natural on every ride.
Key Features
- Castelli engineered Air_O Stretch fabric for breathability, comfort, and perfect fit
- Summer weight fabric ideal for cool days and high UV conditions
- Raw cut sleeve endings for smooth, irritation free comfort
- Three rear pockets plus a fourth zippered security pocket
- Full length YKK® Vislon® zipper with easy use puller
- Elastic waist with silicone gripper
- UPF 30 sun protection
Fit & Comfort
The Air_O Stretch fabric is the heart of the Espresso 2 update-light, breathable, and engineered to sit close to the body without ever feeling tight. The long sleeves provide just enough coverage for cooler mornings while remaining airy enough for warm midday temperatures. Raw cut sleeve edges lie flat and stay put, and the elastic waist with silicone ensures the jersey stays stable when the pockets are loaded.
Performance & Versatility
This is a true shoulder season jersey: light enough for summer weight performance, yet offering the extra arm coverage you want on breezy days. The fabric’s moisture management keeps you dry during hard efforts, and its aerodynamic properties-proven in the wind tunnel-add subtle speed benefits without the feel of a race fit jersey. UPF 30 protection blocks 97% of UV rays, making it a strong choice for bright conditions.
Pocket Support & Details
The redesigned pocket structure offers improved support and compression to reduce sag, even with heavier items. A fourth zippered pocket keeps valuables secure, while the tone on tone logos and signature red scorpion zipper pull add a refined, modern finish.
Why It Works
It’s the long sleeve jersey that covers more days of the year: breathable, lightly protective, and engineered for a close to body fit that suits a wide range of riders. The Espresso 2 Long Sleeve Jersey takes everything that made the original a favourite and elevates it with sharper details and smarter performance.
