With just a base layer, this is a wind-protection jersey for mild conditions. Alternatively, use it over a jersey like a vest with added protection on your shoulders. Lightweight, breathable front wind protection with allover water repellency. Lightest Castelli short-sleeve wind protection GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch lightweight fabric on front and sleeves Nano Flex Light Woven on back for breathable stretch with good water protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy ventilation adjustment on the fly 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets The Perfetto RoS 2 Wind Jersey started life as a request from our pro riders: I want to wear the Gabba all the time, but sometimes it's too hot. So a somewhat lighter and more breathable Gabba became the Perfetto Light. With the fourth generation, we've also changed the name from Perfetto Light to Perfetto RoS 2 Wind Jersey. And it has become a staple in our autumn and spring wardrobes because it's so useful in so many situations ... which makes it very hard to define. In one sense it's a warmer vest, since it has the same construction as the Perfetto RoS 2 Vest but with short sleeves. In another sense it's a less warm Gabba. In another sense it's a jersey with front wind protection. Regardless of how YOU define it, you'll appreciate how it gives the right amount of protection on cool days while maintaining a high level of breathability. It makes you feel warm and protected, yet offers almost the same lightness and freedom of movement as a summer jersey. For mild days, we'll use it as a jersey over a light base layer with Seamless arm warmers. For rides in cooler or changeable conditions, we'll layer it over a jersey, with either Seamless or Nano Flex arm warmers. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the three pockets hold more gear, and the extended tail has been reduced to make the piece more packable.

The top rated winter jacket, bringing warmth, breathability and a high level of rain protection along with a soft, comfortable fit. his jacket leads the way in demonstrating how a winter jacket should perform. Rain or Shine engineering makes this our best jacket ever for dry conditions while also providing significant rain protection GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 fabric for wind protection with high breathability and effective rain protection Reduced seaming with seam sealing on shoulders reduces chances for water to enter through stitching Double-layer Alpha construction separates insulating layer from wind/water barrier to let you better regulate ventilation Water-resistant YKK® Vislon® zipper slides easily for better regulation of airflow Raw-edge waist with silicone gripper lies flat and seals out wind Double-layer cuff integrates with glove to prevent cold wind or water from entering at wrist Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for excellent close-to-body fit that still accommodates a wide range of body types Back ventilation 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes Zippered secure side pocket for valuables. Cyclingnews.com says this jacket is sets an all-new benchmark in what a winter cycling jacket can achieve and it's exactly what we think the perfect winter jacket should be. We started with a list of things we didn't like about the current jackets and set out to solve them—and in the process made our best jacket ever. The first issue to resolve related to moisture management. Even the best of the currently available fabrics provide a good level of breathability but can't keep up with the sweat generated during high-intensity riding. So we invented a double-layer construction that allows you to open an outer wind-protection layer while keeping the insulation layer closed and thereby allowing airflow inside the jacket to evacuate moisture while avoiding direct contact with the skin. On a long climb we'll completely open the outer layer to allow moisture to escape, and when we start the descent we close the outer layer and are completely dry inside. It works so well that sometimes it feels like magic. New for this year is a softer, warmer 3D insulation-layer fabric that provides better warmth, moisture management and fit. Next we focused on the openings: neck, waist and, most of all, wrists. The neck comes up high and is shaped to move with you, whether you're standing or in an aero position being a January hero and attacking your mates. For the waist we've created a stretch layer with a silicone bead that lies flat and completely seals out wind without bunching or riding up. New for this year is a brand-new double-layer wrist opening with an inner layer to go under your glove that seals tight to your wrist, and an outer layer that goes over your glove so that any rain will roll down the outside of the glove and not end up inside. Of course, the ultimate jacket will also hold up well in wet conditions, so we used GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric along with waterproof seam taping on critical seams around the shoulder. Other seams are hidden out of direct water flow, and the water-repellent treatment on the fabric is sufficient to prevent most moisture from entering. We call it essentially waterproof, using our own subjective judgment to find a balance between water protection, breathability and comfort. It doesn't mean that no drop will ever come in, but we do longish rides in real rain and stay completely dry. All these features make it a favorite of our staff and most of our ambassadors, and the most versatile performance jacket for cold-weather training we've ever created.

A favorite piece among our sponsored pros, this jersey is a bit lighter and a bit stretchier and features a closer cut for an aero fit. Mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric Ideal for cool conditions, with or without a vest Race cut with highly elastic fabric provides close-to-body fit without feeling tight Drop-pocket construction for better fit around waist and better pocket position Easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper Embossed line across chest Reflective vertical stripe on center pocket. Ideal for cool days when you still want a short-sleeve jersey but need something a little warmer to take the chill off. The fabric is lightly brushed on the inside, and the bit of elastane gives a perfect stretch fit. We'll also use this jersey with arm warmers and a vest on cooler days — either an Aria Vest that will go in a pocket once the air warms up, or a Perfetto Vest for a day that will stay cool. This jersey gives that extra level of comfort underneath. As a piece designed for the pros, it stays wonderfully minimalist: three rear pockets, easy-sliding YKK® zipper, sleeves cut to just above the elbows. But we've added a reflective stripe to help keep you visible.
A favorite piece among our sponsored pros, this jersey is a bit lighter and a bit stretchier and features a closer cut for an aero fit. Mid-weight Warmer X-Stretch brushed fabric Ideal for cool conditions, with or without a vest Race cut with highly elastic fabric provides close-to-body fit without feeling tight Drop-pocket construction for better fit around waist and better pocket position Easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper Embossed line across chest Reflective vertical stripe on center pocket. Ideal for cool days when you still want a short-sleeve jersey but need something a little warmer to take the chill off. The fabric is lightly brushed on the inside, and the bit of elastane gives a perfect stretch fit. We'll also use this jersey with arm warmers and a vest on cooler days — either an Aria Vest that will go in a pocket once the air warms up, or a Perfetto Vest for a day that will stay cool. This jersey gives that extra level of comfort underneath. As a piece designed for the pros, it stays wonderfully minimalist: three rear pockets, easy-sliding YKK® zipper, sleeves cut to just above the elbows. But we've added a reflective stripe to help keep you visible.
