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.

This is the jacket of the future.The style is top of the line.If your looking for a
jacket for three seasons this is the cat meow.I just love the way it fits AND IT KEEP ME WARM.

I choose the yellow neon so people in their cars could see me.I'm 64 years old an have been cycling for 49 years an this jacket is worth every penny.If you know a cycle shop that has this jacket ask if you can try it out for size.Good luck and HAPPY CYCLING !!
