Castelli Squall Shell

This jacket is lightweight and easy to bring along, so you can take it with you on days when it might rain. It's designed to keep you dry in a rain shower or to keep you warm when you're descending down a mountain.

Lightweight construction
This jacket is easy to bring along in a bag or pocket thanks to its low weight, ideal for those outdoor activities where weight is of the utmost importance. A lightweight garment puts less strain on your body, making it more comfortable when it's being worn for a long time. This is mostly important during physical activities like hiking, cycling or running. Its lightweight material doesn't restrict your freedom of movement, making the garment ideal for dynamic activities that require flexibility.

Stretchy, 2-layer fabric with waterproof membrane
The waterproof membrane prevents the rain from getting in, keeping you dry even in bad weather conditions. This is of course essential for your comfort, and to protect you from the elements. Though it's waterproof, the fabric remains breathable, helping to dissipate excess heat and moisture. This prevents overheating and keeps you comfortable. The stretchy fabric ensures an excellent fit and plenty of freedom of movement, contributing to your comfort and the jacket's functionality during various activities.

Taped seams
Taped seams make sure that rain can't seep through the seams, which is often a weak spot in waterproof clothing. This ensures complete waterproofing. Taped seams also strengthen the jacket's structure, making it more resistant against wear and tear and intense use. In addition to waterproofing, taped seams also provide extra protection against wind, improving the garment's insulating properties.

Reflective stripe on the back for extra visibility
The reflective stripe on the back increases your visibility in low-light conditions, such as during dawn, dusk or at night. This increases your safety while cycling or running, because you're less likely to be overlooked by motorists. The reflective materials are designed to last long and to retain their reflective properties, even after repeated laundering and intense use.

Elastic on the wrists and waist to keep water and cold air out
The elastic at the wrists and waist keeps water and cold air out, keeping you warm and dry. This is especially important in wet or windy conditions. The elastic closures ensure a snug and comfortable fit, keeping you well protected against the elements. Despite this snug fit, the elastic is stretchy enough to guarantee your freedom of movement, increasing the comfort and functionality of this jacket.
