The First Aero Jersey Project Was Called Split Second
Castelli are now on the sixth major revision of their aero jersey, as each generation has become more aero and better fitting. The short-sleeve Castelli Aero Pro Women's Jersey benefits heavily from CFD analysis of wake flow in the riding position for fabric and seam placement. It also benefits from pro riders' feedback, as they have worked to make the jersey comfortable for their long hours of training and then racing in every possible weather condition.
Early Beginnings
Remember when Castelli engineered the first aero jersey for road racing back in 2006, everyone thought they were crazy? Even their aerodynamic consultants expected limited gains, so they named the jersey Split Second, though, like now, they thought even small gains were worth pursuing. In the end the gains were substantial, and they have completely revolutionized the look of the Pro Peloton.
