Now into its third generation, the Women's Alpha ROS 2 Jacket gets a few tweaks here and there, for example, re-engineered double layer cuffs to sit snugly both inside and outside your winter gloves. Enhanced fabrics offer increased breathability but with improved waterproofness too. Clever design details, such as seam-sealed shoulders and seams, moved out of direct water flow, shut water out yet provide ample breathability and ventilation too. Of course, it also retains all the best features that you love too, including the innovative two-layer construction. Rain Out. Warmth in. The Women's Alpha RoS 2 Jacket, just like its predecessors, makes it far easier to dress for a wide range of conditions. With the RoS (Rain or Shine) design you'll enjoy a best-in-class garment for dry, cold weather but it also offers protection should it rain. In light, but incessant rain, or a sharp rain shower there's no need to immediately have to reach for another waterproof jacket layer. The Rain or Shine system utilises Gore® INFINIUM™ Windstopper® 150 fabric for wind protection and the high breathability and effective protection required to ride in the rain. Castelli also incorporates its Alpha construction. This separates the wind/water protection layer from the insulating layer. The result is you have better control of ventilation, letting you open the outer layer while protecting your core and better moisture evaporation overall. The RoS jacket is unlike any other that allows you to ride from low-temperature conditions right through to wet and mild conditions. Performance Fit and Features Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for an excellent close-to-body fit that still accommodates a wide range of body types. A raw-edge waist that lies flat and moves with you plus the Castelli silicone text gripper at your waist keeps the jacket from riding up. 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes plus an extra pocket with waterproof zip make for a very practical jacket with plenty of storage space. For those of you seeking the ultimate in versatile all-weather, multi-season cycling protection you really need not look any further. Think of this as taking all your winter kit options and distilling it into one incredible do-it-all garment. We think you'll find it's worth every penny.
Come autumn, winter and spring you can face a wide range of conditions when you head out on your bike. And your efforts can range from slow and steady miles to high-intensity interval training. Here, getting your kit just right can be tricky. But this is where the Alpha ROS 2 Light Jacket excels. The Perfect Balance Achieving the perfect harmony between warmth, breathability and weather-protection is made possible via the unique double-layer construction. Inside, a Prosecco Strada inner liner, with 2nd front zip, works to move sweat off the skin and prevent you from getting wet and chilly when working hard. Meanwhile, the front of the Alpha Light uses Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150, highly breathable and windproof material with excellent water-repellency, fending off mist, drizzle and road spray. An outer zip lets you open the outer for extra ventilation while the inner can remain zipped up to keep your core protected. Meanwhile, the back uses Nano Flex Xtra Dry, with nanotechnology water-repellent finish, providing a boost to breathability and air-exchange. When the pace increases and effort levels rise you'll be happy to find you don't end up drenched in sweat. Fit and Features The advanced patterning makes for an excellent close-to-body fit, the extra stretch at the waist keeping the fit sleek while a raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you. Finished with a Castelli silicone text gripper at the waist, it keeps that jersey/jacket from riding up. Three rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes plus a front zippered pocket take care of all your storage needs. It may be called a jacket but it's so much more. For your more intense rides in wetter and changeable weather or for cool days of steady miles then the warmth, breathability and wet weather protection strike just the right balance to keep you dry and comfy all ride.
The Women's Aria Shell Jacket is all about bringing the classic windproof jacket right up to date. This high-performance windproof outer layer now matches the rest of your highly functional cycling kit. Gone are the oversize fit and flappy, poor breathing fabrics. In their place are an ultralight windproof woven microfiber front and mesh side panels. These work in harmony to keep out cold winds but offer extremely good breathability too. No cold air can slip inside and yet any sweat you build-up can escape, the result being a perfect temperature when riding. The fit is a revelation compared to jackets of old too. The stretch panels to the sides and back of the sleeves give it a second-skin fit more akin to a race jersey. Less fabric to catch the wind. Less drag. More efficient cycling. A win all-round. In cool to mild conditions, you can keep it on all ride, but if the day warms up it's easily folded up to stuff in your jersey pocket. This is definitely not your old-style wind jacket.
After four generations of the Perfetto long sleeve, the Women's Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jacket gets the biggest performance upgrade yet, as denoted by the ROS in the title, Rain or Shine, delivering comfort across a remarkably wide range of winter cycling conditions. Cold-weather comfort is taken care of by two exclusive Castelli GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ fabrics by Gore, a lightly fleeced front panel keeps in warmth while the light and stretchy rear fabric enhances breathability, so you always feel at just the right temperature. However, should you get caught in rain or snow, the water repellent INFINIUM™ fabrics really come into their own. The Perfetto ROS is also the perfect weight for layering - use a light base-layer for milder conditions or add a thermal jersey underneath for more extreme cold. You decide. Improvements can also be found to the pockets, now larger to accommodate gloved hands, also with a pump sleeve inside, a dropped tail for extra rear wheel spray coverage, easily accessible side zipped vents and a large reflective detail on the back for those shorter days of winter. All details that really count towards comfort when cycling in the cold and wet. If there is just one item of clothing to see you through a winter of cycling, then the Women's Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jacket could be it. An investment in your comfort as you tap out those winter miles in anticipation of summer smiles.
The Women's Perfetto Light ROS Jacket is their lightest windproof jersey but it's not just about keeping the wind out, the jersey is also exceptionally breathable and for this season gets a boost to rain protection too. Using Castelli exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ 203 Stretch lightweight fabric to the front and sleeves you'll find you have greater levels of protection in light rain and showers, letting you concentrate on powering the pedals should the clouds burst open. However, even in poor weather, cycling will soon build up heat and with it comes sweat too, a real mood killer if not dealt with quickly. To keep cold and clammy sweat from spoiling your ride the back of the jersey is made with Castelli's Nano Flex Light Woven fabric, a highly breathable material that allows vapour to escape before causing you discomfort. Nano Flex Light Woven is also more water-repellent than its predecessor adding to the versatility of this brilliant Women's Perfetto Light ROS Jacket. Details also count hugely towards on the bike comfort and here the YKK® Vislon® zipper is easy to use when you need extra ventilation, a Gabba style dropped tail, with a large reflective panel, keeps wheel spray off and boosts visibility as daylight fades to black and with two new larger rear pockets accessing essentials is easier than ever, even with gloves on. Improved in nearly every way, the Women's Perfetto Light ROS Jacket is lighter, more water repellent and gets improved breathability making it an essential for your spring and autumn training and racing.
The Women's Emergency Rain Jacket gives you a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm water column that resists light rain and showers extremely well. It's not designed for an all-day rain ride but it's just right for stowing in a jersey pocket for those emergency situations. The only real compromise compared to Castelli's top-of-the-line offerings is in breathability but that's not so key for a passing shower. The fit as with all Castelli garments is refined and tuned to be just right when on the bike. It's close to lessen flapping but it's still roomy enough to slip on over your Gabba, the slight amount of fabric stretch helping you to layer underneath. For your riding days when you're just not sure if you'll get hit by a heavy shower, this jacket is easily stowed in a pocket just in case. It's so light and easy to stow there's no reason not to take it with you.
