Castelli Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket Men - steel blue/savile blue 473

The Perfetto RoS is the jacket that covers almost all conditions perfectly. If you look closely, the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is basically a long-sleeved version of the Gabba RoS 2. So just a warmer Gabba? Not quite. Complete with sleeves, it becomes a jacket that covers an enormously wide range of conditions. As with the Gabba, the RoS label means that it excels in both dry and wet conditions thanks to the high breathability of Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® materials.

There is a lightweight, fleece-lined, water-repellent version on the front and an even lighter, more elastic material on the back that maximizes breathability while providing excellent water repellency. The Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket effectively keeps out cold wind while being much more breathable than the typical polyurethane membranes of most competitors. Staying drier means fewer layers of clothing are required under the jacket. The advantage of this jacket is that it comes without its own insulation, so a thin baselayer underneath will suffice on mild days, while more insulation (such as a thermal jersey or Castelli's Cold Days 2nd layer) is appropriate in cold temperatures.

The choice is yours. The "2" in the name refers to the update to the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® 2-way zipper for more adjustable ventilation. The reflective trims on the back are more visible, the shoulder seam has been moved back and the back pockets offer more volume. While the Perfetto is still trimmed for maximum performance, the new model offers a little more space in the chest, shoulder and bicep area. In short: this is the one jacket that belongs in every cyclist's wardrobe.

The long-sleeved Gabba is one of the most versatile garments. 100% wind protection with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® water protection and best-in-class breathability. With a lightweight base layer it's good for mild temperatures, with a thermal layer you can wear it in sub-freezing temperatures. If you only have one jacket in your cycling wardrobe, this should be it.

The Perfetto RoS 2 is the one jacket that does everything well. If you look closely, the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is basically a long-sleeved version of the Gabba RoS 2. So just a warmer Gabba? Not quite. The full sleeves make it a jacket that covers a wide range of conditions. As with the Gabba, the RoS label means it excels in both dry and wet conditions thanks to the high breathability of Castelli's exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric.

There is a lightweight, fleece-lined, water-repellent version on the front and a lighter and stretchier material on the back that maximizes breathability while providing excellent water repellency. The Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket keeps the cold wind out while being much more breathable than the typical polyurethane membranes used on most jackets that try to compete with the Perfetto. If you want to stay drier, you won't need as many layers underneath.

The beauty of this jacket is that it has no insulation on its own, so a thin base layer is just fine for mild conditions, while an extra layer of insulation (a thermal jersey or Castellis Alpha 2nd Layer) will get you to cold temperatures. You decide. The "2" part of the name refers to the updates in the latest version, including a YKK® Vislon® zipper with openings at the top and bottom for better ventilation. The reflectors on the back are more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulder has been moved to the back, and the three pockets offer more space for gear.

While the Perfetto is still trimmed for performance, the new model offers a little more space in the chest, shoulder and bicep area. This is the jacket that belongs in every cyclist's quiver.
