What It Is

An extremely light and packable wind shell that fits close to body, with stretch breathability panels, allowing you extend the temperature range of your favorite Castelli pieces.

NOT YOUR OLD-STYLE WIND JACKET

If you're like us, there's a reason you're not using your old-style wind jacket more. With waterproof jackets like the Idro being lighter and more compact than ever, we felt it was time to reinvent a classic. In reality, the Aria Shell Jacket is very different from your flappy old jacket that either didn't protect you or didn't breathe. This jacket is an impossibly light layer that keeps the wind off the front of your body while allowing ample breathability through the mesh side panels. But what you'll really appreciate is how we use the stretch panels in the sides and on the back of the sleeves to make this jacket fit like a second skin: no flapping fabric, no cold air circulating inside the jacket, no more looking like a throwback to the Armstrong era. This jacket is light and warm enough to wear for the entire ride in mild conditions, but if you do want to take it off it folds into a side panel pocket and stuffs away in minimal space in your pocket or seat bag.

Great windproof, would benefit from a minor improvement.

04/11/2023

Firstly i love the fit, the style, it's very lightweight, good windproof ability, and the stretchy breathable sides stop sweat buildup. Great for autumn to cooler winter days over a long sleeve jersey.
It is stretchy but a little care needed when putting it on it is a little delicate,(as previous reviewer states).
So here is my only gripe, its still a little noisy around the shoulders at speed on flat or downhill, the reason i have found is that it rides up making it looser around shoulders if you pull it down it stops for a little while then starts again.
I should say Its my correct size smaller wouldn’t fit.
If it had a silicon band at the bottom it would totally cure it and i would definitely give it a 5* rating.

Extremely packable, versatile layer

05/06/2023

Since I live in the mountains, I bring this jacket on every ride, even in summer. It’s extremely packable and adds an extra layer of warmth or wind protection when it cools or on descents. It’s a little bit delicate, so handle with care. All in all, one of my favorite pieces of kit.

Veste très légère et peu encombrante dans la poche arrière d’un maillot. Efficace contre le vent ou pour se couvrir en descente, pas pour une pluie même faible
