Now that the mercury is starting to drop, Castelli is offering its all-new Perfetto RoS 3 jacket to protect against the chill, featuring a new fabric called Polartec AirCore that’s 100% free from PFAS-based chemicals and engineered from recycled Polyester yarns.
According to Castelli, the membrane is produced by a process called electro-spinning, where a hydrophobic proprietary polymer is pushed through a hypodermic needle charged at 20,000 volts. Under pressure, it emits a thin jet of microscopic filaments – approximately 100 times smaller than a human hair that “falls like snow” to create an incredibly tight membrane that still allows air to permeate it.
As a result, Castelli claims the Perfetto RoS 3 performs as well in the dry as it does in the wet, offering warmth in temperatures ranging from 4-14°C (39-57°F).
“The new Perfetto RoS 3 Jacket can do it all. Instead of just blocking rain, the Perfetto RoS 3 Jacket’s AirCore construction takes “a more intelligent approach”. It actively ventilates sweat away from riders’ bodies using the natural power of airflow, creating a microclimate that keeps the core stable and performance high, even during the most intense rides,” explains Castelli.
The Perfetto RoS 3 is available in both men’s and women’s version, with sizes ranging from XS to 3XL for $320.00.
