The Castelli Perfetto RoS 2 Convertible Jacket is a game - changer. It's a 2 - in - 1 wonder that offers all the foul - weather protection you need in cold and wet conditions, and can transform into a short - sleeve jacket like the famous Gabba. This is our most versatile jacket yet. Unlike typical zip - off sleeve jackets that often fall short, the Perfetto Convertible is nearly identical to the renowned Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket, providing full - body wind protection, near - waterproof rain defense, great breathability, and a close - to - body fit. You can adjust the layers beneath it to handle various weather from mild to cold, sunny or wet. The sleeves zip off just above the elbow, turning it into a jacket similar to the Gabba, the pros' top pick. On mild days, leave the sleeves at home. In changing weather, you can easily stash the compact sleeves in a pocket. Thanks to the front zipped vents, it's even better than a Gabba. If you're torn between a Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket and a Gabba RoS 2, the Convertible is your answer. Even if you already own a Perfetto and a Gabba, you'll be amazed at how handy the Convertible is for removing sleeves during a ride, especially when traveling with limited space. Pack it with an Idro and you're ready for anything.

Using the Castelli Perfetto RoS 2 Convertible Jacket is a breeze. Before your ride, check the weather. If it's mild, you can leave the sleeves at home. When the temperature drops or it starts to rain, simply zip on the sleeves that are easy to carry in a pocket. The top - and bottom - opening YKK® Vislon® zipper makes it easy to adjust the jacket while riding. Use the zippered ventilation on the chest side when you start to feel too warm. The 3 rear pockets are great for storing small items like snacks or your phone.
As for care, follow the washing instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash in cold water is best. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can reduce the jacket's water - resistant and wind - resistant properties. After washing, let it air dry. Don't wring it out or put it in the dryer, as this can damage the fabric and the zippers. With proper care, your Castelli Convertible Jacket will serve you well for many rides to come.
