The Castelli Prologo V Jersey, in its fifth generation, has been kept around thanks to the demand made by cyclists who want to be comfortable on their training rides. The latest version of the Prologo, the Prologo V jersey, is made by using the same Stratus+2 layer fabric with a relaxed Prologo fit. The Stratus is a dual layer 100% polyester fabric. Body moisture is absorbed by the inner layer and evaporated by the outer layer. This construction keeps a cyclist dry even on hot summer rides. Porous mesh has been added to the sides and shoulders, the areas that need the most ventilation. While the Prologo has a relaxed fit, it is still cut and made with fabrics that don’t crease or flap in the wind. A relaxed fit means the cycling jersey fits the shape of your body without being too tight. Tighter jerseys such as the Aero Race 5.1 Jersey are for a lean racer who needs to be completely aerodynamic. The Prologo is for the racer with a larger body or for a cyclist whose ride focuses on fitness not on speed. The collar construction in the Prologo V has been improved so a cyclist’s neck has more protection from the zipper which opens and closes easily. Three rear pockets and a zippered key pocket are added as a way for a cyclist to carry all needed food, keys and money. The Castelli shadow chest logo over a single color jersey gives this modern cycling jersey a classic look.
