The Castelli Raddoppia 2 Jacket is a stalwart winter jacket that makes full use of premium fabrics and utilitarian reflective trim.This latest evolution of the Raddoppia utilises an all-new Gore-Tex Infinium X-Fast fabric for increased water, sleet and snow resistance, windproofing and unbeatable insulation. If you’re looking for a jacket that will see you through the colder winter months, keeping you warm and toasty whilst ventilated then the Raddoppia is a sound investment.You would think to add reflectivity to a jacket was a simple process but reflectivity inhibits breathability and fit, so it's quite a challenge to make a jacket that performs with you during those hard winter miles, that looks and fits the way you expect it to and yet can still offer significant safety credentials.Castelli describes the styling philosophy of the Raddoppia 2 Jacket thus "The trouble with most reflective cycling wear is that you're embarrassed to wear it when it's not dark. That's why we're trying to bring very high levels of reflectivity to garments that you want to wear all the time. If you're more likely to be wearing it, then you're more likely to get the protection it can provide."The Raddoppia 2 features simple but effective diagonal reflective panels on the front and lower sleeves to help keep you seen in low light conditions. The composition is subtle and suave, marrying form and function seamlessly, as you’d expect from Castelli. An additional reflective stripe below the three rear pockets adds to the high-visibility.The finer details, such as a contoured neckline that seals out drafts, Thermoflex ventilated side panels and the super-smooth YKK zipper make this a truly top-tier winter jacket.Key features:Gore-Tex® Infinium® X-Fast fabric construction,Reflective panels on the front, lower sleeves and back,Thermoflex side panels give extra breathability,Three rear pockets for storage of essentials,YKK® Vislon® zipper for easy sliding,Comfort range 0°C - 10°C..
The Raddoppia 3 is Castelli’s winter workhorse, designed to deliver everything you need for winter riding without any added complications.The winter cycling jacket is windproof, water repellent, breathable, reflective, and warmly insulated to keep you riding no matter what. The Raddoppia 3 achieves this by using a combination of fleece lined GORE-TEXÔ WINDSTOPPER® on the front and back to keep the wind out and the warmth in. The sleeves and side panels have stretchy GORE-TEX INFINIUMÔ WINDSTOPPER® 150 inserts for a better fit and breathability.Castelli has kept the design simple, and the only embellishments are the large reflective stripes on the chest and lower back.Functional details run throughout the jacket: there is a YKK® Vislon® zipper which is easy to pull even with gloves on, a drop-tail for extra protection against road spray, and a zipper pocket for valuables.Key FeaturesWarm and reflective, the ideal winter cycling jacket,GORE-TEX INFINIUMÔ WINDSTOPPER® X-Fast fabric with fleece backing,GORE-TEX INFINIUMÔ WINDSTOPPER® 150 lighter weight side panels and sleeve inserts,Large reflective stripes on chest and lower back,YKK® Vislon® zipper,3 rear pockets with 4th zipper key pocket,Drop-tail panel for extra protection,-3° – 10°C / 27° – 50°F,Weight: 388g (M).
