Espresso 2 Vest offers breathable wind protection with lightweight packable performance
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I keep the Espresso 2 Vest in my jersey pocket on every cool ride. The wind protection is just enough without overheating, and the fit is so smooth it doesn’t flap around. I especially love the two-way zipper and that it actually has rear pockets—super practical for a vest this light."
We turn to the Espresso 2 Vest when the breeze picks up, the temps drop, or a long descent lies ahead. Castelli designed this packable layer to provide front-facing wind protection while allowing airflow through the back, keeping us warm without building heat. It’s that perfect middle ground between a heavy jacket and a summer kit.
The stretch-woven front panel keeps wind out, while the Air_O Stretch fabric across the back and sides moves with us and lets heat escape. A top- and bottom-opening YKK® zipper allows on-the-fly venting or quick access to layers underneath, and three rear pockets give us space to carry ride fuel and tools. Tailored and versatile, it’s the vest we always pack—and often wear.
