This amazing jacket is super warm yet incredibly packable, perfect for your adventures or multi - day bike rides. The outer layer is made of a woven microfiber that's windproof and has a DWR treatment. It's the same kind of fabric you'll find on high - end down jackets from top brands. It's light and keeps the wind out effectively. Inside, there's Polartec® Alpha® Direct insulation. It's the lightest, most packable, and best - wicking insulation around. It's as warm as synthetic down, and you don't need an inner layer that would reduce breathability and add weight. When distance matters more than speed, this jacket offers warmth and comfort. It looks great both on the bike and at a food stop. Whether you're facing big elevation changes, riding through different temperatures day and night, or going on multi - day bikepacking trips, this jacket is your go - to. It provides lots of insulation when you need it and packs down small in your seat bag when you don't. The Nano Flex stretch woven fabric on the underside of sleeves, sides, and lower back adds stretch and breathability. It also has a zippered side pocket, 2 large rear pockets with flaps, a YKK® Vislon® zipper with a U - shaped zipper pull, a woven inner label, and a vintage scorpion logo on the sleeve. It weighs 209gm and is suitable for temperatures between 2°C - 14°C (36°F - 57°F).
Using this Castelli jacket is a breeze. Just zip it up using the YKK® Vislon® zipper with the easy - to - grab U - shaped zipper pull. The side pocket is great for keeping small items like keys or a snack within reach. The large rear pockets with flaps are perfect for storing bigger things like maps or an extra layer. When you're not using it, simply fold it up and it'll fit neatly into your seat bag. As for care, follow the washing instructions on the woven inner label. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the DWR treatment on the outer shell. Store it in a dry place. If the jacket gets wet, let it air dry naturally. This way, you can enjoy the warmth, comfort, and performance of your jacket for many rides to come.
