Castelli Perfetto RoS 2 W Women’s Jacket Black\/Black

The Perfetto RoS 2is the right jacket for every situation. If you look closely, you will see that the Perfetto RoS 2 jacket is actually a long sleeve version of the Gabba RoS 2. So is it just a warmer version of the Gabba model? Not really. Its long sleeves make it a jacket, but suitable for a wide range of conditions. As with the Gabba model, the RoS insignia means it excels in dry conditions thanks to its high breathability, but also when it’s wet thanks to Castelli’s exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUMu2122 WINDSTOPPERu00ae fabric.The inner surfaces feature a waterproof, lightweight fleece-lined fabric, while the back is made of a lighter, more elastic fabric that optimizes breathability while providing excellent water-repellent properties. The Perfetto RoS 2 jacket keeps you protected from the wind while being much more breathable than the polyurethane membranes typically used on most jackets that try to compete with it. When you’re no longer staying dry, you don’t need to wear multiple layers underneath. The beauty of this jacket is that it doesn’t have any insulation on its own, so a thin base layer will be great for mild temperatures, while adding an insulating layer (a thermal jersey or Castelli’s Alpha second layer) will get you through the cold.The choice is yours. The “2” in the name refers to upgrades that were made to the latest version, including a YKKu00ae Vislonu00ae zipper that opens from the top and bottom for more adjustable ventilation. The reflective part in the back is more visible, the seam at the top of the shoulders has been moved to the back, and the three pockets can accommodate more stuff. While the Perfetto remains a decidedly performance-oriented piece, the new version offers a little more room in the chest, shoulders and biceps. This is the jacket that every cyclist should have in their wardrobe.Details: Castelli exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUMu2122 WINDSTOPPERu00ae 205 brushed water repellent and warm fabric on the front GORE-TEX INFINIUMu2122 WINDSTOPPERu00ae 203 stretch fabric on back for added stretch and breathability Heat-sealed seams on shoulders for added protection from rain YKKu00ae Vislonu00ae zipper that slides easily and opens from the top and bottom, covered for added protection from rain and wind Zippered ventilation opening on the side of the chest 3 back pockets Reflective panel on bottom of pockets
