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.

Castelli's best jacket for mild conditions, with front wind protection, light insulation, maximum breathability, and water repellency to keep you dry in mist, light rain or spray from wet roads. This is a Castelli staff favorite thanks to the wide temperature range, fit and versatility. GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 fabric on front and sleeves for wind protection with high breathability and effective rain protection Nano Flex Xtra Dry on back for more ventilation allows heat and sweat to escape while shedding rain thanks to a nanotechnology water-repellent finish Alpha double-layer construction separates windproof layer from insulation layer, allowing better ventilation management Inner layer in ProSecco Strada for lightweight insulation with effective moisture management Double YKK® Vislon® front zippers Zippered secure side pocket for valuables 3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes Raw-edge waist lies flat and moves with you. This jacket is about the art of dressing just right for cool conditions. We're talking about those days when you need some protection from the cool air but not enough to bring out the winter jacket. Overdress and you'll be sweating and get cold because you're wet. Underdress and you never fully warm up to enjoy the ride. The concepts behind the construction are fairly simple: wind protection on front-facing surfaces, highly breathable fabrics on back-facing surfaces, and all-around water repellency in case you get a few drops of rain. But what makes this jacket spectacular is how we executed these simple concepts. The wind protection comes from our GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® lightweight two-way-stretch fabric that moves with you while being so light you'll hardly notice it's there.This light wind layer is backed by a separate ProSecco Strada inner layer with a separate zip that can be opened independently for perfect ventilation control. The back is made from our Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric that provides a good level of insulation yet has no membrane so allows for ample amounts of sweat to escape. The fit is close to body so there is no fabric flapping around, while the little details make the difference: easy-sliding YKK® zippers, reflective drain holes on the pockets, a lie-flat silicone gripper band around the waist. All these features are why this jacket is consistently named a favorite among Castelli staffers. We think it will be one of your favorites too.
