Castelli Elemento 2 7X(AIR) Jacket - Men's
Sold out
7X(AIR)We use the best winter membrane fabrics on the market but still find ourselves wanting more breathability. That’s why weinvented 7x(Air). We start with a fully wind- and waterproof external layer and then quilt it to a fleece inner layer using thetrapunto technique. This results in an extremely stretchy wind-resistant fabric, but the stitch holes give just the right amountof air permeability and allow for a continuous exchange of air on the inside of the garment, which carries away moisturemuch better than fully sealed fabrics.This actually makes it warmer because there’s less unwanted air flowing on the inside of the garment. There must be adownside, right? We definitely wouldn’t take this out on a rain day, since rain will come through the quilting stitching, thoughthe fabric is DWR treated and will shed light spray. But it’s ideal for your five-hour base fitness rides as well as your one-hourlunchtime world championship rides. Breathability is good.ALPHA CONSTRUCTIONWith the double-layer front you have far greater control over ventilation,and when you’re working hardest you can open the external zip toallow airflow to dry the thermal layer. It’s hard to imagine until the firsttime you crest a hill and close the zipper back up and realize you’retotally dry. You’ve never felt anything like it.Also coming from our Alpha jacket are the innovative wrist andwaist closures. The 3D knit fabric looks and feels like neopreneat first glance, but it’s a fully breathable woven stretch fabric thatdramatically improves these critical areas of the jacket.
