The Castelli Espresso 2 LS Jersey is a lightweight long-sleeve jersey for cool days, with a close fit that stops short of full race-jersey compression.
It uses Air_O Stretch fabric, designed for breathability, elasticity and comfort. The stated range is 15 to 30 °C, with UPF 30 to limit UV exposure.

This jersey is best for shoulder-season rides, when a short-sleeve jersey feels too light but a thermal jacket would be overkill. The collar sits fairly low – it won’t replace a high collar or neck warmer in cold weather.
Tested by GravelPassion
We found it very pleasant in a cool temperature window similar to that of thermal bib shorts. Size L worked well to avoid a too-short torso, with a little room in the arms. The pockets stay stable, even when loaded. However, the 30 °C upper limit feels optimistic for a long-sleeve jersey.
