Well made and sturdy. Definitely more designed for when you know your whole ride will be cool, not if it's going to warm up. The back is solid wind-stopper material and doesn't shed the sweat/moisture like a lighter mesh-backed vest would.
It's a stiffer material than my light Pearl Izumi wind-breaking vest so there's no flapping at cruising speed. It's a little tight in the tummy but that's my fault as it's obviously made for a fit body type. It fits my average 45-ish body well. It's not undersized like most Castelli clothes that I've gotten.
The blue is really nice and bright enough for me. It's eye-catching but not day-glow.
Minor complaints: It would have been nice if the top-zipper area had a garage to hide the zipper pull when it's zipped all the way up. The two back pockets have mesh surface on the person-facing sides. This will allow water to enter through the tops of the pockets then onto your back then into your butt. Designers, next time, vent the drainage away from my body.
