Castelli Women's Alpha ROS 2 Jacket - Fiery Red - S}, Fiery Red
  • £128.00
  • RRP £320.00
  • Saving you £60

Castelli Women's Alpha ROS 2 JacketThe Castelli Women's Alpha ROS (Rain or Shine) 2 Jacket can take you from a cold, crisp and dry winter day on the bike to a cool, wet and blustery spring training ride. It truly lives up to its 'Rain or Shine' name. This third generation of the Women's Alpha ROS 2 Jacket is the best yet. Updates include improved fabrics to give a boost to performance in the wet as well as enhancing breathability while new double-layer cuffs work better with winter gloves. And it still retains the innovative double-layer construction that makes it so good in so many cycling conditions. Rain Out. Warmth in. Dressing for changeable weather is always tricky. Too warm. Not warm enough. Lots of layers. Rain jacket. It's all a bit much sometimes. However, the Women's Alpha ROS 2 is best in class for your cold, dry days on the bike. And yet come rainy weather, you won't have to immediately reach for a hardshell rain jacket. This is all made possible by the high-performance Gore® INFINIUM™ Windstopper® 150 fabric and double-layer Alpha construction. Gore® INFINIUM™ Windstopper® 150 fabric is completely windproof, superbly breathable and fends off all but the heaviest of downpours. Meanwhile, the Alpha design keeps the outer weather-protective layer from the inner insulating layer. This allows you to keep your core protected while still ventilating the outer layers. The result is more control of body heat, better moisture evaporation and greater comfort across a wide range of conditions. Performance Fit and FeaturesStretch 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.Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterGORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 150 fabric for wind protection, high breathability and effective rain protectionReduced seaming with seam sealing on shouldersDouble-layer Alpha construction separates the insulating layer from wind/water barrierRaw-edge waist with silicone gripperDouble-layer cuff integrates with glovesBack ventilation3 rear pockets with reflective laser-cut drain holes + zippered secure side pocket for valuablesWater-resistant YKK® Vislon®Stretch fabrics with advanced patterning make for excellent close-to-body fitSuggested temperature range: -5 to 10 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

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.
