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.

Once you’ve got cold and wet feet it’s hard to concentrate and enjoy your ride. The Castelli Diluvio UL Overshoes work to ensure it never gets to that stage. The premium 3mm neoprene construction makes for a brilliant insulator against the cold and it keeps rain out too. At the upper cuff, the ‘skin-out’ seal slows down water seepage while fully taped seams also prevent water from creeping inside. The high stretch of the neoprene also gives the overshoes a sleek and streamlined fit over your cycling shoes. A hook and loop closure underneath make these compatible with almost any road, gravel of MTB shoe too.
Created to provide reliable protection in most conditions, apart from the very heaviest of rain, the ROS 2 Overshoes use a Polartec® Power Stretch® fleece lined front to keep cold winds out. To the sides, 3-layer fleece-backed waterproof panels resist drizzle and spray from damp roads. A YKK® water-resistant zipper makes them easy to pull on and off while not compromising the protection levels. And for low-light cycling, the reflective heel tab gives greater visibility to other road users.
Most warmers available are made from a nylon/elastane material and they tend to hold onto moisture, meaning they may be warm to start but they'll soon have you feeling chilly and damp when you get going. However, the Pro Seamless Knee Warmers use a polyester yarn, far better for dealing with sweat build-up while still maintaining excellent warmth. Just what you need for cool weather, hard training and intense racing. Thanks to the low weight, high stretch and seamless construction you'll barely notice them either. If the day warms up they'll fold up small and easy fit in a cycling jersey pocket.

However, the Pro Seamless Leg Warmers use a polyester yarn, far better for dealing with sweat build-up while still maintaining excellent warmth. Just what you need for cool weather, hard training and fast racing. Thanks to the low weight, high stretch and seamless construction you'll barely notice them either. If the day warms up they'll fold up small and easy fit in a cycling jersey pocket.
When the temperature is starting to cool and cold winds blow, the Intenso UL Overshoes are there to stop the bite of those colder temperatures from causing discomfort. Warmth is kept firmly inside thanks to the Infinium Windstopper and it’s water-resistant too so can fend off light rain or spray from a damp road. For those of you who ride a bit of everything, you’ll find the strap closure allows compatibility with road or MTB shoes. And with a neoprene back panel, they fit snuggly and securely while allowing unrestricted pedalling.
Autumn and spring are fabulous times to ride a bike. But the weather is so hard to predict and achieving the right balance of warmth, breathability and weather protection is difficult - you'll often end up too warm or too cold. However, the Beta ROS Jacket makes it easy. Using a mix of lightweight and stretchy fabrics it cuts out most of the wind, remains extremely breathable and should rain strike offers surprisingly good water protection. Facing into the weather, the front panels and upper sleeves use Polartec® NeoShell®. This is windproof, waterproof and breathable, striking the balance you need when the weather changes from good to bad from one moment to the next. Across the back Castelli use their Nano Flex Light woven fabric. This prioritises breathability, keeping you dry and sweat-free when you're pushing hard on the pedals or the day warms up. It is also windproof and splashproof, for all-ride comfort. 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.
Made from a light stretch rib knit polyester, the Prosecco Tech Short Sleeve Base Layer is body-mapped to provide perfect temperature regulation. Castelli's Prosecco hydrophilic treatment is applied, ensuring any sweat build-up is quickly and efficiently wicked away from the skin. In areas where your shorts or tights overlap, around the waist and bib straps, lighter-weight PrimaLoft® fabric is deployed, balancing out insulation levels so you don't overheat. A crew-neck also makes it easy to wear with low-collar jerseys.

Motivation Booster Motivation to ride can be hard to muster when the weather is bitterly cold and windy. However, the Women's Movimento Windstopper Cycling Jacket is a motivation-booster as soon as you pul it on. GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® X-Fast prevents cold winds from robbing the heat you've built up on the bike, locking in warmth all-ride. However, if you do raise the pace, excellent breathability prevents you from being drenched in sweat. INFINIUM™ is also lightly water-resistant, letting you ride through drizzle and rain showers without having to immediately reach for your emergency rain jacket. Streamlined Cycling The stretch fit and anatomical form-cut of the Milano jacket ensure a smooth fit when you're cycling. This saves your precious energy for those last few miles of a base-building ride (and hopefully lets you avoid the dreaded bonk). Talking of energy, the three rear pockets let you load up with nutrition for your training hours on the saddle as well as making space for your rain jacket for emergencies. The high collar provides a snug fit for maximum protection from the elements. When you're facing into a day of cycling in colder temperatures and the bite of windchill, the cosy Women's Movimento Windstopper Cycling Jacket provides a boost to your motivation to get out and ride. And the Movimento print is a classic design for timeless cycling style.
