Just as the name says, the Castelli Emergency 2 Rain Jacket is the go-to for emergency rain protection. Castelli has made the jacket completely waterproof with a 10,000mm water column rating. It is compact enough to take up only half a jersey pocket, so you can stash it away with ease and it wont take up too much cargo room. The jacket has a slight stretch and has a superb on-bike fit with enough room to still fit over a Gabba or any thicker winter jacket. The Emergency 2 has all the trappings. A waterproof zipper seals out the rain, a long tail provides extra coverage, the wrist closures fit over gloves, and the 360 reflectivity makes this an ideal friend on dark country lanes or when commuting through the city. The only compromise Castelli has made with this jacket is it is less breathable than its topflight rain jackets. The reason? Simply to make this jacket more affordable. Available in a mute military green for those seeking an understated look or high vis orange for some welcome visibility. Key Features Deluge Light 2.5-layer waterproof fabric with 10,000mm water column Slight stretch for excellent fit in riding position Folds into half a jersey pocket Stuff pocket integrated into mesh vent at top of back Waterproof zipper and contrast seam sealing water out 360 reflectivity 6 18C / 43 64F Weight: 149g (M)
This is the original jacket/jersey that started an entire new product class: the Gabba. It's a water-resistant short-sleeve jacket that's equally ideal for dry conditions. Made to be worn with our Nano Flex arm warmers, it allows you to keep your core warm without overheating.
This jacket does three things really well: the Tempesta Stretch fabric provides full waterproof protection, the four-way stretch makes it fit any body type, and it looks great on and off the bike. Compared with our more expensive GORE-TEX® Idro jackets, you give up the best-in-class breathability and extreme packability, but you gain stretch fit and increased durability. We developed the fabric to our own specifications to make a jacket that is fully waterproof, comfortably stretchy, packable enough to fit in a jersey pocket, and with an appearance and hand that make it look great. This is meant to be a rain shell worn over a jersey, so we've forgone the external pockets and kept the construction simple to minimize seams. We've given it a vent on the back to prevent overheating, a covered zip to keep spray out and reflectivity for safety. What it is: This elegant jacket provides full waterproof protection with a stretch fit for comfort and aerodynamic performance. The jacket is protective enough to wear all day yet looks good on a gravel ride or when you're meeting your mates at the café. Features: Tempesta Stretch fabric with windproof PU membrane provides 10,000 mm waterproofness with 20,600 g/m2/24h breathability Taped shoulder seams for waterproofing Stretchy for extremely comfortable fit that moves with you Packable enough to fit in jersey pocket Covered easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipper Extra-long tail for protection from wheel spray Vent on back Reflective stripe at lower back 5°-14 °C / 41°-57°F Weight:204 g

The Transition 2 Jacket is a mid-weight jacket perfect for those autumn and spring rides where you want to cut the chill but dont want to overheat. The front and sleeves of the Transition 2 is made from the same windproof fabric as Castellis pro-level Gabba but with a fleece backing for greater warm. The back of the jacket forgoes the wind stopping membrane for greater breathability, letting sweat and excessive heat easily escape. All the details are there, from 3 rear pockets that are perfectly sized and placed, a silicone gripper at the waist holds the jersey in place, to a YKK Vislon zipper makes for easy opening and closing. The fit of the jacket is neutral. Neither restrictive like a race cut or loose like a more casual cut. Along with the reflective detailing, this makes the Transition exceptionally useful and wearable on all manner of rides. Key Features GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER X-Mid front and sleeves for wind protection with exceptional breathability Warmer fleece fabric on back for additional breathability YKK Vislon zipper 3 rear pockets Embossed logo on chest with reflective stripes for visibility Reflective panel below pockets for further visibility 8 16C / 46 61F Weight: 334g (Large)
The long-sleeve Gabba is one of our most versatile pieces. 100% wind protection with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® water protection and best-in-class breathability. With a light base layer it's good for mild temperatures, or with a thermal layer you can ride it below freezing. If you have just one jacket in your cycling wardrobe, this should be it. Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 205 Warm brushed water-resistant fabric on front-facing surfaces GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® 203 Stretch on rear-facing surfaces for greater stretch and breathability Taped shoulder seams for extra rain protection Top- and bottom-opening YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding, covered for additional wind and rain protection Zippered ventilation opening on side of chest 3 rear pockets Reflective panel at bottom of pockets The Perfetto RoS 2 is the one jacket that does everything well. If you look carefully, the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is essentially a long-sleeve version of the Gabba RoS 2. So it's just a warmer Gabba? Not really. The full sleeves fully turn it into a jacket, but one that covers a wide range of conditions. Like the Gabba, the RoS insignia signifies that it excels in dry conditions thanks to the high breathability, as well as in wet conditions thanks to the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics. There's a light fleece-lined water-resistant version on the forward-facing surfaces and a lighter and stretchier fabric on the back that maximizes the breathability while providing excellent water repellency. The Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket keeps all the cold wind out while being much more breathable than the typical polyurethane membranes used on most jackets that try to compete with the Perfetto. When you stay drier, you don't need as many layers underneath. The beauty of this jacket is that it doesn't have any insulation on its own, so a thin base layer is just right for mild conditions, while adding an insulating layer (a thermal jersey or Castelli's Alpha 2nd Layer) will take you to cold temperatures. You decide. The 2 part of the name refers to the updates to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with both top and bottom openings for more adjustable ventilation. The reflectivity on the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets hold more gear. While the Perfetto remains decidedly a performance fit, the new model has a touch more room through the chest, shoulder, and biceps. This is the one jacket that belongs in every cyclist's quiver.
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.
