Description Perfect Winter Versatility
The Fondo 2 Jersey was made with the idea that you'll wear it half the time on its own and half the time under a vest in cooler conditions. So, Castelli made it look great no matter which way you use it. This core layering piece is warm with a neutral fit and reflective details for comfort on every ride.
This jersey is highly functional thanks to the use of Warmer fabric, which is thickly applied on the inside, yet the 100% polyester composition means it doesn't hold sweat. An easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper allows for prime ventilation when you need it most, while the silicone waist gripper keeps the jersey from moving while you ride.
The Fondo 2 has three rear pockets to pack all your ride essentials. Perfect for night riders, the bands on the sleeves and the vertical stripe on the pocket are reflective for low-light visibility.
Features:
Warmer fabric is 100% polyester fleece for extra warmth and wicking
Easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper
Three rear pockets
Silicone gripper elastic at waist
Large reflective panels on both sleeves and center pocket

Awesome jersey for layering.
by Steve F.

Very warm and comfortable as expected from Castelli, I wore this with a Gore windproof base layer and a Craft wool blend base layer in temps around 40� and it was perfect. I might have been comfortable at 35� but most likely a bit chilly with that combo. There is a decent amount of stretch and it is not the typical skin tight fit from Castelli, I've actually worn this over another jersey on one ride and didn't feel restricted whatsoever. As usual Castelli has an excellent color selection and the fabric used is top notch, you can't go wrong with this one.

High Quality Product

High quality design. From the assembled fabrics to the sturdy zipper, this jacket does a great job fighting the cold morning air. The fleece inner is very comfortable, and the cut of the jersey is really nice looking. The zipper is high quality, and never gets caught-up like some products manufactured with lower production standards.

This is the third jersey I have purchased in a different color. They are very comfortable and works well with a thermal under layer and a windbreaker vest for cold mornings, in the 40�s.
As you know order a size up as Castelli runs small.

Warm, looks good, but a touch long
5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.
Great Jersey, looks good, comfortable and warm with the fleece lining. I've worn this with a base layer at temps down to 40 and felt perfectly comfortable. The red is a nice shade aiding visibility on the roads but not too in your face. I bought XL which is normally spot on for me with Castelli products but the back of the jacket is a little long for me, especially with supplies hanging in the back pockets. In hindsight a large would probably have been better for me.

This long sleeve jersey was perfect for my needs.
by Wayne

I use this long sleeve jersey in weather from the low forties to the mid fifties with a light base layer underneath the jersey. Once I used a light weight jacket over the jersey but took off the jacket midway through my ride. My jacket stored nicely in my back pocket of the jersey. This is my first long sleeve jersey and it works very well.

Great Jersey

Great cold weather (e.g. 40 to 50 degree F) jersey for my pre-dawn rides. I'm able to ride with a lighter base layer than my previous long sleeve jersey. I like the deep back pockets...can easily stuff a lightweight jacket without worry of splitting any seams.

Solid cool weather performance
by Fatboy

I use it in cool weather over a base layer. It is not windproof, and doesn't claim to be. I wear a wind proof vest or jacket over it if colder wind is an issue, still with a base layer. It does exactly what I want to do.

The Fondo 2 jersey is the perfect thickness for either cool or warm weather. If you need to layer in the winter the fabric really keeps you warm. The fit is perfect. True to size. Good variety of colors to choose from.

Excellent and comfy jersey
3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.
This is a great jersey for cold days and it is super comfortable as well. I use this for rides in the 50-55 degree range and find it is warm enough although I usually bring a vest in case it dips below 50. It doesn't run small as many bike jerseys do so you don't need to go a size up. I liked it so much after I got the first one delivered I went back online and bought 2 more . I highly recommend this item .

As well most Castelli products, this is a winner. very comfortable, warm for temps in high 40s and above. Sizing required me to go one size up as I am a solid American size XL. Ordered an XXL and it fit perfectly.

So happy to see a smile on my son's face throughout his whole climb
I gifted my son this jersey for Christmas. It was a cold, but sunny day on our climb up MT Tam.
The jersey was warm and protective throughout his entire ride. It is also really form fitting, and true to size!

This jersey is perfect for temperatures from 40 to 60 degrees
by DSC

I bought this long sleeve jersey for fall and winter usage. The value is good, the medium size was perfect for me, the fit is true to size. I have found it is perfect for weather from 40 to 60 degrees. It keeps me warm without flapping around. I have worn it with and without a base-layer. It is comfortable without a separate layer.

This Castelli Fondo jersey is size XL for a 66 year old 6' 180 lb person. The fit is very comfortable, sleeves are a proper length and the pockets are well sized and placed. I wore it today for a 17 mile ride at 60 degrees with a wind breaker, short bib and was comfortable. I am pleased with it and would buy another.

High-grade thick fabric with quality construction. 170 lbs, 43" chest, 42" around widest section of belly. 2XL is perfect fit for my liking--arms are snug, and body is non-compression comfort fit with plenty of room for layers without being overly loose and baggy. I bought a second in another color.
