Reviews over the

Castelli Perfetto RoS

The fit make it perfectly adapted to ride bike (arm in the handle) . If you don't ride the fabric and shape will make you feel stuck a bit into it I felt downhill and the jacket protected me very well on the concret. Super efficient wind break

Pros & Cons

A very versatile jacket for typical Dutch weather from freezing (with thermo shirt) to about 12gr Celsius. Above that too warm. Sufficiently water-repellent for a shower but stays pleasantly warm even with more rain as long as you keep moving. The jacket is close-fitting (size L, 1.85, 76kg).

Pros & Cons

Top purchase. Urgently needed another jacket for the Tour of Flanders and this one was excellent on this drizzly day!

Pros & Cons

Very close to the body, very good quality. Nice color

Pros & Cons

Very fine jacket, fits perfectly, is not too cold and not too warm in temperatures from 0 to 12 degrees.

Pros & Cons

First time used on a day with 5 degrees in the morning, ground temperature towards 0. You stay warm, back in the afternoon with 17 degrees was a sauna though. Quality is good and enough storage space at the back for things that normally go in your cycling shirt. The reflection strips on the shoulders are highly visible. But the black color by itself, while nice, is less useful.

Pros & Cons

Purchased on the advice of Mantel employee. She took good time to advise which made me decide to purchase this. Is a bit pricey, but not a moment's regret about this super jacket.

Pros & Cons

Exceeds expectations, when putting it on it feels a bit tight, but once on it fits wonderfully. Can be worn with thermo in cold weather and also up to 14 degrees with a normal undershirt

Pros & Cons

Well worth it despite the hefty price and does exactly what they promise. Windproof, not too warm. Just right

Pros & Cons

fits perfectly, completely in my style for the road bike, no fluttering, as it should, can even put an undershirt and thermal underneath, but that is soon too much of a good thing, nice also to open those zips on the side so that the excess heat can escape and you keep it comfortable during an effort

Pros & Cons

Great jacket! Well, what else should I say about it? Jack fit's like a glove, is windproof (waterproof I don't know). With the right longsleeve undershirt, I can wear the jacket with ease down to at least zero degrees. With the right combination, jacket/undershirt, you can wear this jacket between 0 and 12 degrees. After that, it will become too warm for me. The ventilation pieces do their job well and dissipate heat noticeably to the back panel. The fabric on the back is thinner than in front, so the heat can escape well, but you don't experience cold. In terms of size, I might have bought it one size smaller, so it will fit even better. The fabric on the back still stretches quite a bit, so I recommend buying two sizes and choosing the one that fits you best, but is still comfortable.

Pros & Cons

After years of using old skool cycling clothing, now switched to these modern jackets from Castelli. Couldn't imagine a thin jacket insulating as well as breathing. So first ride dressed way too warm. Wet back! Modern jacket also calls for modern sweat shirts. So as to have the best combo. At 4 degrees, combined with e.g. the Craft Pro Dry Nanoweight LS, with medium/higher intensity, it's wonderfully full. What's special is that you're not really warm. Not cold either. But the right temperature for the effort. Sizing is tricky. Have XL now with 189cm and 85kg.

Pros & Cons

Buy this jacket 2 sizes larger. I have an L myself, bought jacket in Xxl, perfect fit!

Pros & Cons

Top purchase. Costs a bit but then you have something. Great cycling jacket for temperatures below 10-15 degrees. With a thermo undershirt also great for riding in freezing temperatures. Keeps you warm but breathes well. The jacket is very small, order a size larger than you normally have from Castelli.

Pros & Cons

After six years of the Gabba, I now bought this perfetto. The first thing I noticed was that the size fell very small. In the gabba I need an M and the perfetto an L. In addition, the Jack is also lighter. The big advantage of this Jack for me is its great usability, from 10degrees with light rain in autumn or spring to well into freezing winter. It is not the cheapest but also not the most expensive and it limits your autumn and winter outfit to 1 jacket.

Pros & Cons

Mountain bike rides in humid, windy conditions and I stayed perfectly dry. Jacket also keeps you well warm. Make sure you choose the right size using the sizing guide on the website. Product is well described on the website.

Pros & Cons

Really great shirt for wet conditions between 0 and 15 degrees. Searched for an alternative for a long time, but went for the original, especially because of the ventilation openings. Very happy with it, this allows you to regulate the temperature perfectly. Never too hot or too cold again.

Pros & Cons

Perfect windstopper for MTB rides in autumn

Pros & Cons

Sales advice was largely correct. You can cycle well in the cold (10 degrees) with this jacket and an undershirt. Although I still put on a shirt as an extra layer for the torso and shoulders. Where with other jackets the moisture management is a challenge (and you end up getting cold) this Jack satisfies surprisingly well.

Pros & Cons

Always thought that multiple layers was the only thing that worked to keep out the cold I am now completely changed. This jacket is really perfect! At 2°C just a merino wool undershirt and spent over 3 hours on the bike. Not suffered any cold. I am completely convinced. Now only to experience when the jacket becomes too warm to wear.

Pros & Cons

Perfect in name and in fact! At zero degrees you only use it with a suitable underwear underneath, and you don't overheat, you don't sweat too much and you don't get cold!

Pros & Cons

When buying in shop, it proved important to try on first. With my height of 186, an XL fit best. The XXL was too roomy and did not fit my body tightly. When mountain biking with a vest underneath, I was not bothered by wind or cold at about 6 degrees. It is a pity that phone and house keys have a lot of space in the large back pockets. Biggest advantage is that this jacket closes perfectly and is nice and tight without bothering me.

Pros & Cons

I'd heard so many good things about it that I was afraid I'd be disappointed. And yet from the very first outing, it proved to be second to none. The first impression is how light it is when you put it on, unlike yesterday's jackets, which were often heavy. Then when you leave the house, you're struck by how effective it is at keeping you warm. It's hard to feel cold in it (I confess I haven't tested it in very cold weather yet). Finally, the drops slide down the sleeves like a duck's feathers! Incredible! If I had to find a fault with it, I'd say that as it wicks away perspiration very well, the back pockets get wet, which can make their contents damp. But you get over it!

Pros & Cons

Pleasant to wear, effective in autumn and spring.

Pros & Cons

Finally bought a RoS jacket from Castelli. Well worth the money. Very good quality and does what it is supposed to do; keep me dry and warm. Like everything from Castelli do buy size up. I am 178, slim and have an L, which fits perfectly.

Pros & Cons

When I first put it on I thought it's not too loose or too tight on the body but tight at the armpits until I went cycling and in that body position it really fits perfectly an xl and I'm 1.78 and 77kg Just a pity there are 2 pockets at the back and not 3 like most cycling jerseys

Pros & Cons

Very comfortable jacket: keeps wind and rain out, breathes well. Can be used all year round with the right undershirt (thick or thin, short or long sleeves). Convenient zipped vents on both sides. Two large back pockets, with an extra compartment in right pocket for your (house) key. Pockets do catch water and sand when cycling in the rain and on sandy roads and paths. So afterwards, turn pockets inside out! Sizing is not Castelli's strongest point, but usually 1 size up is sufficient. Being 1.78 m and 79 kg myself, size XL of this jacket is ideal for me. Cut is meant for cycling, so short at the front and long at the back.

Pros & Cons

Bought this jacket 2 weeks ago for autumn. Ridden with it last 2 weeks and can't say other than that it is a nice jacket that keeps you well warm. Thermo shirt or cycling shirt underneath and jacket over it and you're good to go!

Pros & Cons

Deliberately chose this version because it does not have Castelli's red branding. Those are black. Personally, I like that a bit better. Two pockets at the back more than enough. Still cycled in the rain.

Pros & Cons

Size L fits great, 183 cm 73 kg. Super quality!

At 1.96m and 100kg, ordered a 3XL (hesitated between XXL and 3XL). Mantel itself also recommends 3XL on its website if you wear XL from your normal clothes. But with the sizing of those weird Italians at Castelli, you never know. When I received it, however, Mantel delivered an XXL. Which fits, but it's just barely. (And surely you want to be able to layer this jacket with a thermo shirt for when it gets really chilly. The front of the jacket is awfully short. Too short in my opinion. I already have a Castelli Ros Beta Jacket (XXL) myself and it is longer in the front. This order is going back to Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Well-fitting jacket that can be worn all the way down to 7-8 degrees and up to 15 degrees by using a sweat undershirt combined with microfleeze. This is my second RoS and the high quality is still in place

Pros & Cons

Yes the jacket is expensive, but once you've cycled with it you won't want to go back. It's very nice, snug around the body. Mantel's size chart is correct (normally an M for me, now an L). The jacket gives good protection against the cold: with a long undershirt, regular cycling shirt and the Perfetto, I was not cold at 2 degrees. The side vents are ideal for when you get hot. It doesn't cool down much, but just that little bit that helps. Also, it can survive a shower just fine, provided it is not too heavy and does not last too long because then everything leaks through in the long run.

Pros & Cons

Proffesional jacket for harsh weather conditions in spring and autumn, or during an Alpine ride when the weather lets up, and yet not too hot too quickly when the sun suddenly comes out.

Pros & Cons

Lovely jacket for all conditions. Wear it with a long thermo shirt at 2 degrees and nice and warm.

Pros & Cons

Jacket fully meets expectations and has a very good fit. Always buy one size bigger than your own as recommended. Not too wide or too tight but nice and snug.

Pros & Cons

Quality shirt for spring and autumn Does what it promises. Am happy with it.

Pros & Cons

I hate the cold. With a thermo shirt underneath, I did not feel cold during a bike ride from Almere to Enkhuizen along the Ijsselmeer, at 7gr, headwind and sunset. Have the impression that the jacket breathes well. Too bad the colour black is very different from the Nanoflex 2 trousers I bought at the same time. Quite expensive for a "piece of fabric" that is quite simply put together. Haven't cycled in the rain yet.

Pros & Cons

Super jacket, nice and warm but breathes very well

Pros & Cons

Am very happy with the jacket is super windproof and also keeps out rain is also comfortable

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

nice jacket, worthy of the castelli name

Pros & Cons

Perfect Jack (the name is right) perfetto ! Although the jacket is very thin it does its job in autumn and winter ! Good wind stopper and if you want some cooling you can open little zips left and right so the wind can get through ! In short, very happy with the best Jack so far.

Pros & Cons

Well worth its money ! Have now ridden a few hundred km in the cold between 3° and 9° and is perfect. Megmeister shirt underneath and you have the perfect combo. There is also a convertible with zip-off sleeves. In short: winter jacket that can also be used on chilly spring rides. Windproof and almost waterproof, thick and warm race shirt with ventilated back. 1,88 cm and 100 cm chest =xxl

Pros & Cons

Nice jacket, fits well. Warm enough I cold conditions. Just a pity Mantel does not offer all sizes. I unfortunately had to order somewhere else, because mantel by castelli does not have size s in the range.

Pros & Cons

Excellent quality as usual from Castelli. Keeps you warm without getting sweaty. Can’t really comment on the waterproofing as yet. Only down side is it’s a little snug around the upper body and upper arms but it’s not particularly noticeable when on the bike. I don’t think you need the more insulated Alpha jacket. Just add a base layer and this is good down to freezing if you’re working hard.

Pros & Cons

Lovely Jack already worn down to 1 degree tem with just a merino shirt underneath. Both on mbt and road bikes. Ideal because the front offers more insulation than the back, resulting in less perspiration and therefore less cold.

Pros & Cons

That good I’m going to be getting another one in a different colour! I got this in a large but could of gone to a medium? But I like to layer up . But just fantastic!!!!

Pros & Cons

Comfortable jacket, good windproof, nice and warm in combination with a good undershirt (Castelli only has 1; fortunately, it is very nice in combination with this jacket). Sizing remains tricky for Castelli. I am 1.78 and 80 kilos and size XL fits well, especially when in cycling position (logical). Size XXL was clearly too big for me.

Pros & Cons

This is a jacket to make merry. Wins close, sits hat, lies weight. Just top Only the sizes don't match at all. I have T-shirt L, this jacket xxxl. Quite unusual

Pros & Cons

Nice and pleasant jacket. Good fit. Well windproof. Protects against cold and wind. Two pockets on back, which are roomy. When rain keeps mobile phone in back pocket also wet, little protection.

Pros & Cons

Super jacket Meets rain and wind Highly recommended

Pros & Cons

Costs a bit, but then you really do have a fantastic cycling jacket. I am 1.99 and size XXL fits me like a glove, great for colder days and rainy days, you stay dry and warm. Highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Sits like a glove, super!

Pros & Cons

I was looking for a cycling jacket for the autumn period that didn't flabber on all sides. Have a (aliexpress) long sleeved jacket lying around but that's basically twice nothing, but that's what the price is for! So now looking for something good...... Maybe I've been under a rock but during a Podcast I heard about Gabba clothing from Castelli. 'Am always a bit hesitant/critical about materials being touted on a Podcast (Advertising), but after some google 'n and some weighing up (such a jacket costs 199€) still bought a Perfetto ROS at Mantel. Why at Mantel. Actually simple, I know they have good service and with my 198/100Kg you always have to wait and see if such a jacket fits. It (3XL) fits perfectly. Even with a long-sleeved thermo shirt with a sleeveless thermo over it (6Gr. two thermo shirts with the jacket over it (Nice and warm!!)). Windproof and you no longer need a wind blocker. Am not quick to enthuse but a great jacket. Of course, it doesn't keep your shirt dry inside but a large part of your perspiration is discharged nicely. It's definitely not a rain jacket or a Fleece jacket that gets slowly saturated. I read some lesser reports about the long back panel but I actually really like that, seals nicely at your back. The back pockets are open. Keep in mind (even in dry weather), that your perspiration is drained at the back. So your stuff (phone) gets damp just like with a regular shirt. Have not yet tested the jacket in the rain because in bad weather I use my Wahoo

Pros & Cons

This jacket is really perfect. It keeps you warm and is well waterproof. Yet the fabric breathes just fine, unlike most rain jackets. It is well worth the money!

Pros & Cons

Super good! Does everything it promises. Really Perfetto!

Pros & Cons

I was looking for a jacket for spring and autumn. It is wonderfully light. Not cheap, but otherwise perfect.

I bought these to be able to just cycle in cooler and wet weather without really getting wet. After cycling a few times in the (drizzle) rain, I can say it works great, you can just shake off the wetness :-),
