Castelli Elemento Jacket

The Castelli Elemento Jacket is one of the warmest winter jackets for just above freezing temperatures. The Elemento is also the most breathable, a quality very hard to achieve without having the fabric lose the ability to keep you warm. The secret behind this Castelli winter jacket is the combination of Castelli designed fabrics which have taken years to perfect. The external layer, which is completely wind- and waterproof, has been quilted to a fleece inner layer using the trapunto technique which adds another dimension to the material. The result is an exceptionally stretchy wind-resistant fabric with holes stitched in to allow just the right amount of air to permeate. Besides allowing fresh air to circulate so your skin can breathe, this design also quickly carries away moisture and keeps you dry. The Elemento was designed for those 5+ hour winter rides that will build you up for the upcoming race season. The 3 rear pockets and zippered key pocket give you plenty of room to carry all the food needed to keep you energized on your endurance rides. The stretch in the fabric also makes the jacket highly aerodynamic and almost as light as a short sleeved cycling jersey. You won
