Castelli Beta ROS JacketThe aim of the Castelli Beta ROS Jacket? To give you the weather protection you'd expect from a cycling jacket but with the breathability and flexibility of a thermal cycling jersey.The Beta ROS (Rain or Shine) Jacket is ideally suited to the changeable and fickle weather conditions you'll be riding through come autumn and spring and even into milder winter days. In the past, you'd need multiple layers to take off and put on so you don't get too cold or too warm. The Beta, however, deploys a mix of Polartec® NeoShell® and Nano Flex Light to provide ample insulation, excellent breathability and a good level of water-resistance too. Castelli uses windproof and waterproof Polartec® NeoShell® across the front of the jacket and over the upper sleeves. This prevents heat-robbing windchill and will shrug off a sudden rain shower or persistent drizzle. Meanwhile, the back is made from Nano Flex Light woven fabric. This material's key attribute is its breathability, preventing cold sweat build-up when you're applying more intensity or temperatures climb. Being splashproof it will also keep road spray from causing discomfort. Castelli tailors the Beta with a race-bred fit, perfect for fast autumn and spring rides and smooth efficiency when tackling rolling terrain. No flapping fabric to sap energy, leaving more watts for the job at hand, riding and training hard. When it comes to features there's nothing unnecessary either. Three rear pockets offer space for nutrition and spares, a reflective panel keeps visibility up during evening training sessions and a full-length front zip makes it quick and easy to control ventilation. Features:Materials: 100% PolyamidePolartec® NeoShell® 4-way-stretch fabric on front and upper sleeves - windproof, waterproof and highly breathableNano Flex Light woven fabric on back - highly breathable, windproof and protect splashes from light rain or wet roadsClose-to-body cut remains very comfortable thanks to 4-way stretch of all fabricsYKK® Vislon® zipper is easy sliding for quick ventilation control3 rear pocketsLarge reflective panel at lower backSuggested temperature range: 8 to 18 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

The new Beta RoS Women’s Jacket by Castelli follows in the footsteps of all Castelli’s Rain or Shine (RoS) by providing superb dry weather performance and wet weather protection. But it follows in another way too. Like the Gabba and Perfetto before it. It is an absolute revolution in cycling jackets.The Beta is a thin wind and splash barrier that provides a surprising amount of warmth while being incredibly lightweight. At 185g the Beta is lighter than many long sleeve jerseys. In fact, it is so light you will likely not even notice it, but you will still have the protection promised by many jackets.The jacket achieves the triple crown of wind and rain protection, breathability, and low weight by using a combination of Castelli’s lightest and stretchiest fabrics, Polartec® Neoshell® and Nano Flex Light.Polartec® is used on the front and the upper of the sleeves to provide windproof and waterproof protection where you need it most. Nano Flex Light woven fabric is used on the back allowing any excessive moisture and heat to escape whilst also shedding light rain.The Beta RoS women’s Jacket is a performance piece. There is nothing superfluous on the jacket. A YKK® Vislon® zipper provides easy opening and closing even when the pace is high, and 3 rear pockets are just the right size and easily reachable. The only thing that could be deemed superfluous is the large reflective panel, but on cool grey evenings added visibility is always worthwhile.The race fit achieved through the high stretch fabrics and close cut minimises flapping and is reflective of the kind of high intensity, fast riding you will be doing in it.Ride unhindered and focussed on your effort, whatever the weather decides to do. Key Features: Polartec® NeoShell® 4-way-stretch fabric on front and upper sleeves is windproof, waterproof, and highly breathable,Nano Flex Light woven fabric on back is highly breathable while blocking wind and light rain,Close-to-body cut remains comfortable thanks to 4-way-stretch of all fabrics,YKK® Vislon® zipper is easy sliding for quick ventilation control,3 rear pockets,Large reflective panel on lower back,Race fit,10° – 18°C / 50° – 64°F,Weight: 185g (Small).
