Bought one of each to try as they were in the sale and I don't have a decent jacket. They both fit the same and seem to be for the same purpose/temp ranges. Any views on which is better? Did some research on here and some say the MORTIROLO is too hot? Im not a fair weather rider and will venture out in the cold and rain from time to time but not when its stupid cold or icy :D

    New model Mortirolo? (4)? If so they both have an identical temp range. Keep the cheapest one (the Velocissimo)

    Yes the 4 - the Velocissimo looks nicer but the Mortirolo is a nicer colour! Both the same price give or take a few quid!

    I'm very happy with my Mortirolo. It's my go-to winter jacket for anything between 0-10 degrees. The zipped vents work well if you need to cool down for a bit. Reassuringly cosy on very cold days without overheating. Wish the pockets were a touch bigger, but I think that about all my Castelli tops.

    Yes this is the one I plan to keep cheers for the feedback.
