Thoughts on Castelli Climbers 2.0
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
Just looking for some opinions of the Climbers 2.0 Jersey, thinking about getting one in preparation for summer(Australia). Looking at getting the black so I'm wondering, since it's pretty much see though, should i get a black or white base layer?(I'd be getting one of those mesh layers for hot days, if I actually need one). Also, hows the fit on it? Hear it's fairly tight and aero, but is there any need to size up on one? Any other opinions and thoughts would be great, I'd be riding in 35 degrees+ for the record
Cheers

Been wearing 2014 Climbers jersey & 2015 Blue Climbers2.0 jersey this summer (Canada).
The Climbers2.0 is the best jersey for hot weather. But, the fabric is very delicate & snagging will happen (not durable).
I'm 5'-6'', 120lbs and I wear a SMALL jersey, with no base layer.
I find the fit to be form fitting, not super tight.

Cheers for the input guys, just what I wanted to hear. I was questioning the use of a mesh layer anyway so that works out well. In for a hot summer down under thanks to El Niño, and I presume that sun screen use is mandatory on a jersey like this?
I don't have the original jersey but I have seen pictures of the climbers (1.0?) and it looks rather baggy and is "surprisingly roomy" according to one review (http://pelotonmagazine.com/uncategorize ... tand-outs/) I'd say give the large another shot, wiggle have them going pretty cheap atm.

Probably a good idea...
