Castelli Insolito Radiation Jacket - Men's

by Castelli

Product Description

Pull on the Castelli Mens Insolito Radiation Cycling Jacket, and get three-season versatility that prepares you for any cycling conditions. This interchangeable jacket features a Gore Windstopper X-Lite shell that blocks wind and resists sleet, snow, and rain. Castelli backed the shell with a heat-reflecting Radiation under layer (akin to a space blanket) that zips in and out of the top layer for low-profile insulation on cold riding days. The Insolito also features a zip-off hood and sleeves that turn the jacket into a vest on milder days. Perforations in the Radiation layer keep the jacket breathable, and it retains 80% of body heat that normally gets lost.

I live in Minnesota and have had my Castelli Insolito Radiation Jacket since August 2009. I have worn it throughout the winter while commuting back and forth to work 20 miles/day down to -15° F plus a brutal wind-chill. This jacket out preformed well beyond my expectations. Most of the time warring a Craft Cool Mesh Sleeveless Base Layer, Icebreaker Sport 320 long sleeve merino top or a Craft Pro ZERO Zip Mock Neck long sleeve shirt. These worked extremely well through the coldest winter, 15° F to -15° F. Above 15° F I layered differently. A Craft Cool Mesh Sleeveless Base Layer with Smartwool long sleeve or short sleeve cycling jerseys. This has been a great fall and winter jacket even in an extreme downpour during my whole ride to work. I stayed dry. The vents work great. Just be careful when leaving them open when it is raining. The whole inside of my jacket got soaked. Even my gloves filled with water when I left the vents open. It all dried out quickly. The sleeves zip off creating a very nice vest. I used the hood over my Rapha Winter Hat. These were a great combo for cold winter riding. For me this has been the prefect fall winter cycling jacket. Warm when needed. Cool when needed. Dry when needed. I'm looking forward to next fall and winter commuting. I'm 5'-8" tall 152 lbs 39" chest, 35" waste. Large jacket. $325 Backcountry through Amazon.
