The temps are starting to drop in the northwest and I’m in search for a warm bike jersey for the shoulder season. I have a Castelli Espresso jacket which is great for temps under 50, but anything over that and I’m overheating. I have an older specialized Long-Sleeve Jersey which is a wool mix but it doesn’t cut it for less than 55...
So I’m looking for something that would work for the 45-55 range, comfortable next to the skin, doesn’t need to be water resistant/proof, would be nice if it had some wind resistance (or I guess I could get a gilet for windy day), some ability to breath would be nice as well. It like jerseys that fit a little bit tighter but it doesn’t need to be a race fit per se.
A few that I was thinking might for the bill...
- Castelli Transparente 4
- Castelli Nelmezzo ROS
- Pearl Izumi Thermal (I don’t quite understand The difference between PRO, Elite, and Select or between Persuit and Escape)
- Pearl Izumi Wind Jersey
- Gore C5 regular vs Windstopper vs Thermal
Anyone have experience with the above or have other recommendations?
