PRODUCT DETAILS
The Castelli Perfetto Rain or Shine Vest is a beautiful exercise in progressive garment design – offering you superior protection from the wind and rain but remaining highly breathable. Easily packed into a pocket and ideal on autumn training rides, this is a real must-have.
Bringing the widely lauded Perfetto Vest into the Rain or Shine (RoS) family, this new vest is a remarkable feat of garment innovation. Worrying about potential weather conditions before setting out on a ride will be a thing of the past – simply layer up according to the temperatures expected and enjoy your winter training.
The new Gore-Tex Infinium fabric utilised on the front of the Perfetto RoS Vest is the result of a dedicated collaboration between Castelli’s R & D team and Gore – offering high-grade water protection, keeping you dry when those inevitable rainy spells descend.
The rear fabric is the tried and trusted Nano Flex Light which has been a staple of Castelli garments for a number of years. In combination, these fabrics offer a thinner alternative to the celebrated Gabba – ideal if you’re looking for a protective vest that can fare the elements but remain cool in moderate conditions.
The body-mapped dual fabric construction is ideally suited to winter training. The warm brushed fabric on the front offers optimal water resistance just where it’s needed on exposed areas, and the lightweight stretch fabric on the rear gives much needed ventilation, whilst maintaining water repellent properties.
An innovative two-panel pocket design on the rear means that you can easily access essentials even with gloves on – a partial internal divider enables you to store a pump efficiently, again promoting ease of access.
This latest evolution of the Perfetto Vest offers a significant upgrade on its predecessors owing to its advanced fabric composition – if you’re in need of a new staple to wear on spring and autumnal training rides, the Perfetto RoS Vest is a solid investment.
