True to Castelli's reputation, it offers an outstanding on - bike fit while still being roomy enough to layer over a Gabba. It comes with all the features of a high - performance rain jacket, such as a waterproof zipper, a long tail, long sleeves, and wrist closures that can go over gloves. Castelli understood that you don't want to spend a fortune, so the only real trade - off compared to their top - of - the - line jackets is breathability. The styling is understated, and there's a vibrant Fiery Red color option, making it a great choice for your daily commute. You'll look sharp when you reach the office. If you plan to wear it over office clothes, it's advisable to go up one size. This is the go - to jacket for rain protection, whether you need it all day or just in an emergency, as it can easily be stashed in a jersey pocket. With its discreet look and 360° reflectivity, it serves double duty as a commute jacket. It's designed with a men's trim fit.
Using this rain jacket is a breeze. Simply put it on when it starts to rain or when you anticipate bad weather. The long sleeves and wrist closures that can go over gloves keep your arms dry. The long tail provides extra coverage for your back. For commuting, it's a great option, and you can easily stash it in your jersey pocket when not in use. When it comes to sizing, if you're wearing it over office attire, remember to go up one size for a comfortable fit. As for maintenance, after each use, let it air dry. You can spot - clean it with a mild detergent if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or putting it in the dryer, as this could damage the waterproofing and the fabric. Store it in a cool, dry place, and it'll be ready for your next ride or commute.
