Review of Castelli Cycling


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Castelli San Remo Skin suit / speed suit / race suit

I bought 2 Castelli Rosso Corso San Remo skin suits / speed suits / race suits, and after around 6 uses each the fabric has worn through at a seem around the chamois. I contacted Castelli about this rapid wear, which has not occured on any other garments I've worn (mostly Endura or Lusso), so it's not due to odd riding style. Unfortunately, Castelli did not take responsibility for their manufacture and choice of materials and stated that the warranty would not cover the damage.

Review of Icewear


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Decreased quality

I have used Icewear for a number of years. I initially stumbled upon them by chance and was surprised by the quality of the wool used on their men's Icelandic wool jumpers, and I mean immense quality - fibre length, strength, loft, water repellence. I tend to use wool vs synthetics for outdoor sports and these jumpers were some of the few which were up to the task, hence £100 plus was a good investment.

However, over the past 3 years the quality seems to have decreased to the point where they are now no better than anything else out there, if not worse. I hope the company can return to their previous quality. Currently they are probably not worth the hassle and cost of having sent from Iceland.
