The Italians from Castelli have been dressing the elite of cycling since 1876. With a lot of experience, the Milanese are constantly designing and developing new top-class clothing. No wonder then that their functional clothing like the Castelli Iride Seamless Short Sleeve leaves nothing to be desired. The undershirt may not be entirely convincing at first glance. Very thick seams and a rather unconventional color scheme - other colors are also available - are a little deterrent at first and raise doubts. Slipped on, the concerns about the seams first disappear. The shirt hugs the body very comfortably. Absolutely no scratching is felt. With a body height of almost 1,80 meters, we decided on a size L, which turned out to be spot on.
The kidneys are always covered and the slightly higher collar is also convincing. The polyester used has excellent moisture regulation and transports sweat to the outside very well without letting the body cool down. In terms of functionality, the Castelli undershirt is convincing across the board. All that remains is the somewhat unusual rosé of our test model, which we could cite as a point of criticism, since it is certainly not to everyone's taste. But, as already mentioned, there are other colors to choose from for this reliable undershirt that impresses with its excellent function.
//Conclusion
Castelli's Iride Seamless Short Sleeve adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and ensures excellent moisture transport. The requested 72,00 euros may seem steep at first, but the shirt fulfills its purpose 100 percent, so that the price can be seen as justified.
