These are the best fitting jersey's I've ever had, unfortunately their designs are getting worse and worse imo, but they might still have some normal solid color options.

not a fan of the jersey designs either, but its nice to see a 'modern' ss jersey that still has somewhat of a collar. Not a fan of the speed / aero collar look that has taken over.

Just taken delivery of a couple of new ones.

Castelli Espresso. This may be just about perfect. Lovely fabric and fit. Nice, plain and subtle colours. Even a zipped pocket.

Santini Colore Puro in white. Another lovely jersey. Fit fairly similar to the Castelli. Very light, should be good for hot weather.

Only issue I've found with the Espresso kit is the weird double-anchors for the bib straps on the front panel. The top anchor's stitching will probably tear for everyone, it's just a matter of time. Happened to me while #1.

The only purpose for this top anchor point is to lift the otherwise flappy upper panel.

That's unfortunate, I haven't tried the Espresso bibs, but I like that particular Castelli pad. I've picked up a couple of other models that use it on close out.

My favorite jerseys are the Velocio Concept jerseys. Their standard pricing is absolutely insane IMO, but periodically you can grab them on sale. Fabric, fit, and features are all top notch. I appreciate that they are available in basic colors w/o crazy designs. These are definitely warmer weather jerseys. I often ride with a base layer underneath.

I'll have to also bump the Espresso; right sleeve length, right tex, not too form fitting and not long in the body (another pet peeve). The bibs punch above the price point as well.

Castelli has some nice kit for the price, for my taste and preferences, right now. I haven’t used their cooler weather stuff in a bit but I’ve been very happy with their bibs and jerseys.
