This 2 - in - 1 men's cycling jacket from Castelli is a game - changer. It offers all the foul - weather protection of the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket for cold and wet conditions, and can transform into a short - sleeve jacket like the Gabba. It's the ultimate jacket for your next cycling adventure.
This is the most versatile cycling jacket we've ever created. Usually, jackets with zip - off sleeves are a compromise, but not this one. The Perfetto Convertible is nearly identical to Castelli's well - known Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket, providing full - body wind protection, almost waterproof rain protection, great breathability, and a close - to - body fit. You can adjust the layers underneath to handle various conditions, from mild to cold, sunny or wet.
The sleeves zip off just above the elbow, making it similar to the Gabba, the pros' favorite. On mild days, leave home without the sleeves. When the weather changes, pull the compact sleeves out of your pocket and put them on. Thanks to the front zipped vents, the Convertible is even better than a Gabba.
If you're torn between a Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket and a Gabba RoS 2, the Convertible is the perfect choice. Even if you already have a Perfetto and a Gabba, you'll be amazed at how convenient the Convertible is for removing sleeves during a ride, especially when traveling with limited space. Pack a Convertible and an Idro, and you're ready for anything.

Using this Castelli convertible cycling jacket is a breeze. For cold or wet rides, keep the sleeves on to enjoy full protection from wind and rain. When the weather warms up, simply unzip the sleeves just above the elbows and stash them in one of the three rear pockets. You can adjust the layers under the jacket to suit different temperatures, from 4°C to 16°C.
When packing for a trip, this jacket is a space - saver. You can bring it along with an Idro, and you'll be ready for all kinds of weather.
As for maintenance, follow the care instructions on the label. It's usually best to wash it in cold water and let it air dry. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and its protective features. Also, be gentle when handling the zippers to ensure they last. Check the seams regularly for any signs of wear, especially the taped shoulder seams, and get them repaired if needed. This way, your jacket will stay in great shape for many rides to come.
