Embrace the wind with the Castelli Squadra ER Jacket. This minimalist shell packs neatly into your jersey pocket for your long alpine climbs as a quick emergency layer when the wind chill starts to get to you.

Rear reflective details improve your visibility to cars, and features a rear-vent opening to keeping cool.

Ready In Case of Emergency Just like the name says, we wanted to create the ideal simple jacket. We made it completely waterproof and compact, and, as you'd expect from Castelli, we also gave it an amazing on-bike fit, yet it's still roomy enough to fit over a Gabba. This jacket is an emergency piece, so we knew you wouldn't want to break the bank with it, but the only real compromise compared to our top-of-the-line offerings is in breathability. We didn't make this for an all-day rain ride, but it's just right for your next emergency.

Product description

SUPERLIGHT PROTECTION We put a lot of thought and engineering into our high-performance Superleggera Shell Jacket. The main body fabric is Japanese-made Pertex Quantum, but we’ve made it without the standard coating so that you get a very small amount of air permeability that lets sweat escape, while the DWR coating will keep light rain at bay. On the back we’ve used a totally waterproof stretch panel that sheds wheel spray, and the stretch allows for a great close-to-body fit. Best of all, the piece takes up minimal space in a jersey pocket.

• Pertex Quantum base fabric with low air permeability to keep you dry
• Stretch Torrent waterproof fabric insert on back
• Extremely packable
• YKK Vislon zipper
• Front and rear reflectivity

Product description

The Castelli Mortirolo 2 Woman’s Jacket is the best cycling jacket to use for most cool weather riding conditions. The Mortirolo is not recommended for extreme cold or heavy rain conditions, but it takes care of you on cool or moderately cold days during the fall, winter and spring training sessions. On the chest and sleeves, Castelli’s warmest Windstopper fabric blocks out frigid wind. On the back—the area where you sweat the most, Castelli’s fleecy Warmer fabric accelerates moisture evaporation so you stay dry. This woman’s cycling jacket is ideal in weather above freezing-- the days you do most of your riding. The fit was also designed for off-season training. The jacket fits close to the body without being restrictive or too tight. The elastic waistband keeps the top in place without pinching your middle as you are leaned over. The comfortable fit is ideal for those long winter endurance rides when you value comfort over aerodynamics. The YKK Vislon zipper closes up the front of the jacket and it is easy to open when you need to let in some cooling air. The three rear pockets are easy to access and they give you plenty of space to store your munchies. Reflective strips across the back increase visibility on those shorter winter days when the sun rises later and sets earlier.

The Castelli Alpha ROS Jacket has everything you need to train in the dry, in the cool, in the cold, or the freezing with proper ventilation and breathability. The Gore Windstopper 150 Fabric is has excellent water protection and is windproof. The Seam Sealing on the shoulders has fewer seams and double stitching to keep most rain out. The Alpha Constrution separates the wind/water protection layer from the insulating layer to increase the efficiency of the ventilation and moisture evaporation. The YKK Vislon Zipper slides easily, lays flat, and is partially covered to keep rain out. The Raw Edge Waist lays flat and moves smoothly with you. The Raw Edge Wrist Cuffs lie flat and seal around your gloves. There are stretch fabrics with advanced patterning for a close fit that you can still move around freely in. There are three rear traditional pockets with reflective laser cut drain holes. Available in Orange/Black, Light Black/Black, Ceramic Blue/Black, Red/Black and Silver Gray/Black
