Reappraisal of Castelli Aero Race 8S Jersey: Currently, Castelli has reclaimed top spot in my preference for the best jersey available, featuring the Aero Race 8S model
The Castelli Aero Race 8S jersey is making waves in the cycling world, standing out as a go-to option for hot weather rides. This high-performance aero jersey offers a perfect balance between aerodynamics, breathability, and comfort, all while keeping a relatively affordable price point.
Priced around £169 / $200, the Aero Race 8S jersey presents good value for money. It is a dedicated piece of race kit, focusing on peak performance rather than general comfort and usability. The jersey is available in four colours: White, Black, Navy, and Mocha.
The sleeves and body of the Aero Race 8S jersey are made of perforated and compressive materials, respectively, ensuring they stay in place without the use of silicone grippers. The back of the sleeves and the arm pits have highly perforated materials for improved breathability, helping to regulate body temperature during intense rides.
Castelli has used a raised strip fabric for the Aero Race 8S jersey, optimised for speeds between 30-40kph. The sleeves also have raised strips designed to reduce airflow turbulence and pressure drag, optimised for speeds between 40-45kph.
The pockets of the Aero Race 8S jersey are narrower than some of the competition, keeping the frontal area smaller. However, the three cargo pockets at the rear are designed to stay in place even when pockets are full or the jersey is partially unzipped.
The hem of the Aero Race 8S jersey is structured to keep the body of the jersey in place without being overly snug or compressive. Sizes for the jersey range from XS to 3XL, with sizing being true to size but more race-fit compared to other jerseys in Castelli's range.
The Aero Race 8S jersey is used by Soudal Quickstep and AG Insurance World Tour teams, showcasing its reputation for performance. It is comfortable in temperatures of 30 ̊C+, making it a reliable choice for hot weather cycling.
In terms of aerodynamics, the Aero Race 8S jersey manages the overall performance spectrum superbly. Castelli has two other lines, Espresso and Premio Evo, that focus on general comfort and usability. However, the Aero Race 8S jersey stands out as a specialist in the field of racing jerseys, delivering unparalleled performance for those seeking to push their limits on the bike.
