Description
The special thing about the Castelli Alpha jacket is the double layer at the front. This makes this jacket a base layer and winter jacket in one. The inner layer can be closed with its own zipper. Would you like some refreshment? Unzip the outer layer of the jacket open to let some fresh air blow in. The inner layer transports moisture to the outside and it keeps you warm. The back of this jacket consists out of a double layer which is not attached to the other layer, this is for improved insulation. As a result, a windstopper on the back is not necessary, so the backside is very breathable.
In this jacket there are five pockets, one of these pockets is on the front side with a zipper. The rear features four pockets, one of them has a zipper. The sleeves and bottom of this jacket have a nice finish and fit perfectly with your gloves and pants. So no thick edges but nicely elastic and laser cut ends. The Castelli Alpha Jacket is truly the best jacket from Castelli.
Technologies:
Windstopper 150:
The lightest Windstopper fabric. Fully windproof, excellent breathability, stretch and coated with a water repellent layer. The combination of a lightweight thin fabric with excellent breathability, provides new possibilities for the construction of the perfect clothing.

Plush jacket for colder days
Great fit, it a little short in the body, but maybe my opinion will change over time. Really like the aero feel and the lack of baggy arms. Useful smaller pockets with zips; one at front for cash, cards (or a fob watch...) and one at the back for phone and or keys. The other 3 normal pockets are great for the usual cycling gear. Soft shell, so not a jacket for downpours but will resist showers or light rain. I like the internal zipped "vest" for extra wind chill protection - saves all that messing about with newspapers on Alpine decents....or is it a corset for the, err, bigger rider like me? ;-) Overall a very well made bit of kit.
