The Castelli Aria Vest is a high-performance cycling vest engineered to provide essential wind protection and lightweight versatility for a wide range of riding conditions. Designed for riders who want an efficient barrier against cool headwinds without unnecessary bulk, the Aria Vest blends aerodynamics, breathability, and packability to support fast efforts, long rides, and ever-changing weather. Its streamlined fit follows the rider’s posture on the bike, reducing drag while maintaining unrestricted movement and comfort.
