Castelli Perfetto Convertible Jacket

There is no such thing as “bad biking weather,” but there is riding in bad weather with cycling clothes that don’t protect you from bad weather. The Castelli Perfetto Convertible Jacket eliminates the “bad biking weather” term because it takes care of you in cold air and wet rain—when these two evils occur on the same day. Perfetto is the Italian word for Perfect. The Perfetto Convertible Jacket is perfect for riding in nearly all conditions thanks to the removable sleeves which turns a cold weather riding jacket into a short sleeve jersey to block the chilly wind. Because of the versatility of the Perfetto, the temperature comfort range is wide (6°-18°C / 43°-64°F). Besides keeping you comfortable in foul weather, the Perfetto is race-ready---aerodynamic for increased speed and fully breathable to keep you dry when you sweat. Other features have been added to make this the perfect cycling top for the racer looking to stay comfortable when he rides hard in cool weather. The lightweight Gore® Windstopper® X-Lite Plus fabric keeps out wind and it blocks rain. The Nano Flex fabric insert under arms accelerates moisture evaporation so you stay dry in an area of the body that sweats a lot. Road spray is stopped by the Storm-flap at the rear. The same storm-flap has a reflective logo to light you up to car lights on low lit early morning rides. The silicone gripper at waist keeps the jacket in place and the full-length YKK® Vislon zipper has a wind flap to keep the wind from seeping in to the jacket and making you uncomfortable. Laser-cut drain holes have been designed into the three rear pockets so rain drains and your back pockets store only food, not rain water.
