Castelli's Blackout Limited Edition Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jacket is more comfortable than ever. With improvements to both its wet weather and cold weather performance, cycling in foul weather gets a whole lot easier.

After four generations of the Perfetto long sleeve, the Blackout Limited Edition Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jacket gets the biggest performance upgrade yet, as denoted by the ROS in the title, Rain or Shine, delivering comfort across a remarkably wide range of winter cycling conditions. Cold-weather comfort is taken care of by two exclusive Castelli GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ fabrics by Gore, a lightly fleeced front panel keeps in warmth while a lighter and more stretchy rear fabric enhances breathability, so you always feel at just the right temperature.

However, should you get caught in rain or snow then the water-resistant nature of the INFINIUM™ fabrics really come into their own. The Perfetto ROS is also the perfect weight for layering - use a light base-layer for milder conditions or add a thermal jersey underneath for more extreme cold. You decide.

Improvements can also be found to the pockets, now larger to accommodate gloved hands, also with a pump sleeve inside, a dropped tail for extra rear wheel spray coverage, easily accessible side zipped vents and a large reflective detail on the back for those shorter days of winter. All details that really count towards comfort when cycling in the cold and wet. 

The Blackout Edition is a nod to those occasions where Pro riders who wanted to ride Castelli products blacked out the logos so as not to upset existing non-Castelli clothing sponsors. It just goes to prove that Castelli is a natural choice for cycling performance wear, even if you're not sponsored by them.

If there is just one item of clothing to see you through a winter of cycling, then the Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve could be it. An investment in your comfort as you tap out those winter miles in anticipation of summer smiles.
