Capo

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets Capo apart from other cycling apparel brands?

  Capo combines Italian cycling heritage with pro-level patterning and material science, prioritizing aerodynamic cuts, precision fit, and high-stretch fabrics like Italian Lycra. The brand focuses on performance-driven construction—think bonded seams, laser-cut panels, and ergonomic patterning—so garments (from the Pursuit Bib Shorts to the Forma Jersey) are engineered for speed and long-ride comfort.
• What materials and technologies does Capo use in its jerseys, bibs, and base layers?

  Capo relies on Italian Lycra and nylon-elastane blends for 4-way stretch and compression, merino wool for temperature regulation in base layers, and mesh/Aerovent panels for targeted breathability. Common construction and tech features include bonded flatlock seams, silicone leg grippers, YKK zippers, UPF 50+ sun protection, coldblack heat-reflective finishes, and antimicrobial treatments to control odors.
• How do the Capo Pursuit Bib Shorts compare to the Forma Jersey and Rally Wind Jacket?

  The Pursuit Bib Shorts prioritize compressive, race-oriented fit with a performance chamois and high-elasticity Lycra panels for power transfer and stay-put leg grip, while the Forma Jersey emphasizes lightweight breathability and aerodynamic tailoring for hot-weather riding. The Rally Wind Jacket is a slim, packable shell built for wind protection and variable conditions, featuring DWR coatings and elastic cuffs rather than the heavy insulation of winter pieces. Together they illustrate Capo’s focus on fit-specific pieces for distinct road cycling roles.
• How do I choose between Capo’s race fit and club fit, and what sizing tips should I follow?

  Race fit is intentionally compressive and contoured for aerodynamics, while club fit offers slightly more room for comfort and layering; select based on how tight you prefer next-to-skin garments and your riding goals. Always consult Capo’s size charts using chest/waist/height measurements rather than street sizes, check product-specific fit notes (e.g., Forma vs. Circo), and read rider reviews for real-world sizing feedback.
