Castelli Alpha Jacket : Sulphur / Black

Season:2015

Brand:Castelli

Code:CS145024

The new Alpha Jacket is windproof and water resistant thanks to Gore Windstopper 150 material. But the real innovation on this jacket is the detached insulating layer which stays close to your body when you unzip the jacket so your core doesn’t get blasted with cold air.

Throw out everything you think you know about cycling jackets and redesign the way a jacket should be made. Or possibly how they’ll all be made in a few years when everyone else follows the Castelli lead once again. With the Alpha, Castlli have introduced several new techniques and fabrics to construct a lightweight, cool and cold weather jacket.

Focusing on two perennial problems with cycling jackets and wind jerseys; Ventilation and Openings, the Castelli Alpha aims to reset the bar.

Ventilation: With the latest fabrics Castelli can essentially build a winter jacket that will keep you warm in all but the most extreme conditions with just a base layer underneath. Historically though, when you open the front zipper you get a blast of cold air at the top of your chest, while the rest of your body remains too hot.

In Alpha the insulation layer is detached from the windproof layer so that you can open the windproof layer to let air in to ventilate and help evaporate moisture. Riding these pieces shows how effective it is at regulating temperature and comfort while helping to keep you drier.

Openings: At the waist Castelli have used a a new fabric and construction that lays completely flat, is streamlined for aerodynamics, yet when you drop into the riding position it follows your body without binding or billowing. At the wrists, a new flat raw-edge construction that interfaces perfectly with gloves, helps keep drafts out and improve comfort. At the collar a new articulated construction is employed that follows the bends in your neck whether you’re standing up or riding in the lowest aero position.

Ultimately Castelli have created an optimal 2-in-1 without compromising any of the key targets when building a technical cycling garment: Comfort is key here and the ability to vary your temperature without bouncing between extremes is the major selling point. The fact that aerodynamics, bulk and articulation are happily taken care of in such a stylish piece is a huge bonus.
