Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- The jacket's 20-denier microfibre nylon is virtually windproof yet also breathable thanks to Castelli's Ristretto technology, so you don’t overheat.
- The jacket is so lightweight (94 grams), you will hardly notice you are wearing it and can easily store it in a back pocket.
- The cuffs and waistband are elasticated to create a slim silhouette, keep the jacket well in place, and prevent flapping while cycling.
- The zip opens from both the top and the bottom, and the puller features Castelli's characteristic scorpion.
- The reflective Castelli wordmark and scorpion logo on the back increase your visibility in low light.
- With a temperature range of 10°C to 18°C, this is not a winter jacket; rather, it is designed for the Transitional season. In colder weather, a thicker, insulated model will be more comfortable.

Look no further – this is your new go-to layer! The Castelli Transition Air women's cycling jacket is the accessory you will bring or wear on every ride: light, easy to put on, and designed to go superbly with whatever you are wearing underneath. With an elasticated waist, the jacket looks clean and modern, and the reflective Castelli scorpion and wordmark on the back add a touch of style and increase your visibility as soon as the light fades. Perfect for early starts, short descents and coffee breaks along the way – with the two-way zip you can open it from the bottom up for that modern coffee-stop look!
The jacket is available in several colours and is made from 20-denier microfibre nylon, which is virtually windproof but will not let you overheat easily thanks to Castelli’s Ristretto breathability.

Breathable 20-denier microfibre nylon
The fabric is thin and light but almost fully windproof thanks to its tight weave. Using Ristretto technology, Castelli has optimised the breathability so that you are protected from the wind but will not soon overheat when you start pedalling harder.
Two-way zip with Castelli scorpion logo
You can open the zip from the top for normal closure, or from the bottom for extra ventilation – or simply for a trendy look during a coffee stop. The zip puller features Castelli's recognisable scorpion.
Elasticated cuffs and waistband
Elastic is incorporated into the cuffs of the sleeves and the waistband. It keeps the jacket well in place while cycling without making it feel constrictive, and ensures a neat silhouette when you are wearing it off the bike.
- The fit is tailored (close-fitting) with a high collar that keeps draughts away from your neck.
- Pair the jacket with a short- or long-sleeved cycling jersey; the jacket is light enough to wear as an extra layer without overheating.
- For temperatures below 10°C, a thicker, insulated jacket such as the Perfetto Air W is a better option.
- Wash the jacket on a low-temperature cycle and leave to air-dry for best care of the elasticated cuffs.
- Open the zip from the bottom up for extra ventilation on a climb.
- When the temperature rises and you don't need the jacket anymore, store it in a back pocket; it is so lightweight, you will hardly notice it sitting there.
Is the Castelli Transition Air W cycling jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is virtually windproof but not waterproof. It will keep you more or less dry in a light rain shower and from road spray, but in persistent rain you are better off wearing a jacket with a water-repellent or waterproof finish, such as the Perfetto Air W.
For what temperature range is the Transition Air W cycling jacket suitable?
This jacket is designed for temperatures ranging from 10°C to 18°C. Below that, it is too thin to wear without other layers; above that, it will soon be too warm and you can put it in your back pocket.
What is the difference between the Transition Air W and the Perfetto Air W cycling jackets?
Both are wind jackets by Castelli, but with different purposes. The current Transition Air W is very light (94 g), virtually windproof and designed as an easy-to-put-on extra layer for mild weather. The Perfetto Air W is a warmer, heavier-duty version with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish for colder and wetter rides.
Can I also wear the Transition Air women's cycling jacket off the bike?
Yes! Castelli has deliberately designed the jacket to double as a casual layer: The straight cut, elasticated waist and reflective logo on the back make it just as suitable for a coffee break or the commute home as for targeted training.
Does the Castelli Transition Air W cycling jacket run small?
The fit is tailored (close-fitting), as with most Castelli clothing. If you prefer to wear the jacket loosely over several layers, compare your size with the size chart at the top of this page and, if in doubt, choose the larger size.
