Castelli Alpha RoS 2 W Light Jacket

Castelli’s Alpha Rain or Shine 2 Light Woman’s Jacket is Castelli’s best jacket for riding in moderately cool fall and spring weather. Light insulation, wind protection, breathability, and the ability to repel water are features of the woman’s jacket to ensure a female cyclist stays comfortable on competitive and endurance rides. Made with a two-piece construction, the inner thermal layer maintains body heat while and outer wind-blocking layer shields from wind chill. The space between these two layers allows air to circulate. The circulating air evaporates sweat and keeps a cyclist from overheating. The Alpha keeps a rider warm at the beginning of a ride when its colder and a cyclist is just warming up. The Alpha will also keep a rider from overheating and getting bogged with sweat when the temperature rises and ride intensity increases. At the front and sleeves, the three-layered Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper 150 fabric wicks sweat, repels water and blocks wind. The Nano Flex Xtra Dry on back provides extra ventilation to let out body heat and perspiration. To repel water, the nanotechnology water-repellent finish creates a surface for rain drops to roll off. Cold air won’t seep into the jacket thanks to the high elastic cuffs at wrist that make them flat. Cycling gloves easily pull over the arms. The collar is made with a soft fleece and it covers up your neck comfortably as you are leaned over the bike. At the waist, raw-edge construction lies flat and moves with you as you ride in and out of the saddle. Three good sized rear pockets have plenty of room to store enough food for endurance rides and they are easy to access. For colder conditions try the Castelli Alpha RoS 2 Woman’s Jacket.
