"Wait, I think the new Castelli Alpha 150 might actually be the Italian cycling clothing maker's most perfect jacket for riding in cold & wet autumn, winter, and spring weather. It mixes the innovative new stretchy, windproof & breathable Polartec AirCore as a shell with well-placed wicking Polartec insulation through the upper arms and an integrated vest, perfectly where you need it."
"You see, when Castelli introduced their latest Perfetto Rain or Shine jacket without actually being waterproof in September, I was more than a bit skeptical about perfect being in its name. By saying that the Perfetto RoS 3 jacket didn't need to be fully waterproof because "cyclists don't ride in the rain anymore" sounded like a copout. I mean, "Rain or Shine" is its literal name."
The Castelli Alpha 150 pairs a stretchy, windproof, breathable Polartec AirCore shell with targeted wicking Polartec insulation across the upper arms and an integrated vest for core warmth. The design aims to handle cool-to-cold wet conditions common in autumn, winter, and spring that are often difficult to manage. Earlier Polartec AirCore implementations delivered strong breathability and wind resistance but lacked full waterproofing and substantial inherent insulation, leaving riders cool when soaked. The Alpha 150 adds insulation while retaining breathability and windproofing to improve rider comfort in cold, wet weather.
