• Protective high collar: helps prevent cold air from entering around the neck.

Effective protection from the wind

The Castelli Squadra Stretch uses ripstop nylon fabric with a windproof coating on the most exposed areas.

This construction helps reduce the chill caused by the wind, especially during fast descents or when temperatures drop.

It is a lightweight outer layer that can be worn over a cycling jersey to improve thermal comfort.

Stretch panels for a more fitted cut

Unlike traditional windbreakers that can flap in the wind, the Squadra Stretch features stretch panels on the sides and sleeves.

These inserts move with the body and help the jacket better follow the rider’s silhouette in the cycling position.

The result: less fabric flapping in the wind, a better fit, and increased comfort while pedaling.

A compact jacket to take anywhere

Weighing just 117 grams, the Squadra Stretch is easy to carry.

It folds down compactly to fit into a cycling jersey back pocket.

This means you can take it with you at the start of every ride and put it on only when conditions require it.

A real advantage on rides where temperatures change as the miles add up.

The ideal windbreaker for descents and early morning starts

The Castelli Squadra Stretch Women’s is particularly suited to situations where a lightweight layer makes a difference:

• Early morning starts in cool weather.

• Descent from mountain passes and mountain routes.

• Spring and autumn rides.

• Cycling training in windy conditions.

• Long endurance rides with temperature variations.

It can be worn over a short- or long-sleeved jersey, depending on conditions.

High collar and reflective details

The high collar limits air entering around the neck to improve comfort when the wind picks up.

Reflective details on the chest and lower back help improve visibility when light levels are low.

They complement standard visibility equipment without replacing appropriate lighting.

Lightweight protection, not a rain jacket

The Squadra Stretch is primarily a windbreaker.

Its stretch panels have a light water-repellent treatment, useful in light moisture or mist.

However, it is not designed to withstand prolonged or heavy rain.

For regular riding in the rain, a dedicated Castelli waterproof jacket will be more suitable.

A women’s fit designed for cycling

The Castelli Squadra Stretch Women’s features a Regular fit with stretch inserts that keep the jacket close to the body.

It offers a balance between freedom of movement and an aerodynamic fit.

To choose your size, consult the Castelli size guide using your chest and waist measurements. If your measurements fall between two sizes, generally choose the larger size.
