Castelli Idro Pro Jacket

The waterproof, aerodynamic Castelli Idro Pro Jacket is the rain jacket a racer carries in his back jersey pocket when a rain storm looms on the horizon. The GORE-TEX® SHAKEDRY™ 2-layer is what makes the Idro Pro cycling rain jacket meet all the requirements of a cyclist who races in wet weather. If a cyclist wants to be protected from rain, stay dry from sweat and have a jacket that doesn’t flap in the wind, the Idro Pro jacket does all of these. The elasticlike fabric in the Idro Pro rain jacket fits close to the jersey or vest you wear underneath the jacket. This elasticity creates a garment with a very aerodynamic construction. The fabric is completely waterproof: water will just roll off the jacket never adding any water weight. A longer tail shields from road spray and a soft neck liner keeps the rain from coming in at the neck area. By adding Gore’s new Topo inserts and the Gore®/YKK® integrated zipper, the jacket is completely seals out the water. While it blocks wetness from the outside, it is extremely breathable and speeds up sweat evaporation. This feat is accomplished by the double layer construction of the fabric. The GORE-TEX® SHAKEDRY™ is the most lightweight GORE-TEX® product available. The 158 gram weight of a size large Idro Pro Jacket is a mere 0.3 pounds! Two external pockets have been added so you don’t have to reach under the jacket for riding food. For the racer who will not allow rain to keep him from riding at high intensities, whether it is in a race or on a training ride, the Castelli Idro Pro Jacket is a must addition to a cyclist’s wardrobe.
