CASTELLI ALPHA ROS LIGHT JACKET | MEN

A jacket that is perfectly suited to cool conditions, especially on days when you need protection from the cold air but don't need your winter jacket yet. If you dress too warmly, you will sweat and risk catching a cold because your body is wet. Conversely, not dressing warm enough can prevent you from reaching the right temperature and enjoying your outing.

The concepts behind its construction are simple enough: windproof protection on the front-facing surfaces, highly breathable fabrics on the rear-facing surfaces, and water repellency throughout in case you get a few drops of rain. But what makes this jacket extraordinary is the simple design processes that went into it. Wind protection is provided by our lightweight, two-way stretch GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabric that moves with you, yet is so light you’ll barely notice you’re wearing it. This lightweight windproof layer is lined with a separate ProSecco Strada inner layer, with a zipper that can be opened independently for perfect ventilation control. The back is made from our Nano Flex Xtra Dry fabric, which provides a good level of insulation without a membrane, allowing for the wicking of large amounts of sweat. The close-fitting cut avoids loose fabrics and small details really make a difference: easy-to-pull-down/pull-up YKK® zippers, reflective drainage holes on the pockets, flat silicone waistband.

Bottom line: With all these features, this jacket is a consistent staff favorite at Castelli. We think it will be one of your favorites too.
