Castelli Insolito Radiation Jacket - Men's
Pull on the Castelli Men’s 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.
Bottom Line: Block the wind and harness your heat in this jacket.

This is why you need to wash by hand in cold water and hang dry.
Great

I wore this jacket and a long sleeve base layer on a cold 25f ride with sustained winds of 24mph out of the north. I rode in the canyon. At the bottom of the canyon it was drizzling, half way up it was sleeting, and at the top it was snowing. I wore the jacket with bib tights.
Review:
The jacket kept me dry at all times. Drizzle, sleet and snow did not penetrate the jackets barrier. AWESOME!
The jacket kept my core nice and toasty without over heating and sweating. When the sleet would collect on my arms, it was cold, but when I noticed it I wiped the ice off. I did this quite a bit on the ride. Snow was no problem. Neither was the rain. It fit snug and was not bulky. This jacket kept out the wind and whipped it around me. Nice aerodynamics.
Style:
The style looks great. Very clean and sleek looking. Can be worn in a store without people thinking you look like an alien. I was the envy of all the club members when I debuted the jacket. SAWEEEET!! Very good looking jacket (that is what is important right?)
Negatives:
No negatives besides the price, but when you are cold on a bike and still want to look good, the jacket is priceless. The fit was great except I have a large chest and back (weight lifting) in which the jacket fit tight. This will be no problem unless I have to wear a wool base layer too.
Bottom line:
AWESOME jacket. Worth every penny. Does what it says it does and looks good too!

Black, not yellow as pictured. Cuffs on sleeves are still yellow though. Now you need to pick up a prince to match.
Change me.
