Castelli ALPHA DOPPIO RoS jacket, orange
Castelli ALPHA DOPPIO RoS jacket
The top among winter jackets, it brings warmth, breathability and a high level of protection against rain, together with a soft and perfectly fitting cut. This jacket is an example of how a winter cycling jacket should look.Cyclingnews.com claims that "this jacket has set a whole new bar for what a winter jacket can do" and that's exactly what the perfect winter jacket should be. At Castelli, they think that in the form of the new generation Alpha Doppio RoS, they have made their best jacket even better.
Even the best currently available materials with a good level of breathability cannot deal with the sweat and heat generated during high-intensity riding. That's why Castelli has developed a two-layer construction, which allows you to have the outer, windproof layer unzipped, while the inner insulation layer remains on and, thanks to the air flow, moisture can escape and the outer layer does not come into direct contact with the skin. When riding uphill, you can completely unzip the outer layer to vent the moisture and zip it up before going down and you'll be completely dry inside. It works so well that you feel like they are lines.
For this generation, a softer and warmer insulating material was used - Polartec® Alpha Direct. The manufacturers also made a few changes to the ends of the jacket: the neck, the waist and, first of all, the wrists. They lengthened the neck and made it durable so that it moves with you, whether you are pedaling while standing or riding with a friend at a joint training session in January. On the waist, they created a stretch panel with a flat silicone hem that fits perfectly and insulates from the wind without rolling or sliding up. They have updated the wrist termination which now has an inner layer that fits tightly to the wrist and goes into the glove and an outer layer that wraps around the outside of the glove so water flows out and not into the glove.
This jacket can withstand wet conditions. GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® is used with waterproof sealing of critical seams on the shoulders. The other seams are hidden from direct contact with water, and the water-repellent treatment of the fabric keeps most of the moisture out. The jacket is, as Castelli says, "essentially waterproof", to the maximum extent while maintaining a balance between water protection, breathability and comfort. They don't claim that not even a drop will penetrate, but their riders regularly complete long rides in rainy weather and are completely dry. These features make it the jacket of choice for most of their ambassadors and staff, and is the most versatile winter jacket they've ever produced.
Rain or Shine engineering technology makes it Castelli's best jacket for dry conditions, but also provides significant rain protection
