CASTELLI Alpha Ultimate Insulated Jacket - Women´sExperience the pinnacle of winter cycling comfort with the Castelli Alpha Ultimate Insulated Jacket, engineered for the dedicated female cyclist who refuses to compromise on performance when the temperature drops. This jacket redefines warmth and breathability, eliminating the age-old dilemma of being either cold and clammy or hot and sweaty. Ride through the harshest winter conditions with unparalleled temperature regulation and freedom of movement.The revolutionary design of the Alpha Ultimate is built upon a groundbreaking two-layer construction. This innovative approach separates the wind-and-water-resistant outer shell from the soft, high-loft synthetic insulation layer. This dual-layer system allows you to manage ventilation with surgical precision. On a long, strenuous climb, simply unzip the outer shell to release excess heat and moisture vapor, while the inner insulation layer remains closed, keeping your core warm and protected from the initial chill. When you begin your descent, zip up the outer shell to create a formidable barrier against wind and cold, trapping your body heat for maximum warmth.Crafted with a women´s-specific fit, the jacket follows your every move without restriction. The use of advanced stretch fabrics ensures a close-to-body silhouette that is aerodynamically efficient yet supremely comfortable, eliminating any bulky or puffy feeling often associated with winter jackets. The seamless raw-edge wrist cuffs create a perfect, draft-free interface with your gloves, while the articulated collar sits comfortably whether you´re in an aggressive riding position or sitting up. Three rear pockets provide ample storage for nutrition and essentials, and a secure zippered side pocket keeps your valuables safe.Key Benefits:* Exceptional Temperature Regulation: The dual-layer construction allows you to independently manage insulation and ventilation for perfect comfort across a wide range of intensities and conditions.* Warmth Without Bulk: Advanced active synthetic insulation provides incredible warmth with minimal weight, allowing for complete freedom of movement.* Wind and Water Protection: The outer shell acts as a robust shield against biting winds and road spray, keeping the elements at bay.* Superior Breathability: Actively wicks moisture away from your skin, preventing the clammy, chilled feeling during and after hard efforts.* Women´s-Specific Performance Fit: Anatomically cut for the female form, providing an aerodynamic advantage and unmatched comfort on the bike.Main Features:* Double-layer construction with a separate insulating layer and a protective outer shell.* Windproof and highly water-resistant outer fabric with sealed shoulder seams.* Plush, high-loft active synthetic insulation for warmth and moisture management.* Smooth-sliding front zipper for easy, one-handed ventilation adjustments.* Double-layer raw-edge cuffs to seal out drafts and integrate seamlessly with gloves.* Three rear drop-in pockets and a zippered side pocket for secure storage.* Stretch waist with a silicone gripper to keep the jacket perfectly in place.* Reflective detailing for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.Technical Specifications:* Gender: Women´s* Primary Material: Synthetic* Temperature Range: -5°C - 12°C / 23°F - 54°F* Weight: 383 g (Size S). tradeinn Bikeinn
