PERFETTO RoS 2 CONVERTIBLE JACKET - All the foul-weather protection of the Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket for cold and/or wet conditions, converting into a short-sleeve jacket like the Gabba.
The only jacket you need on your next adventure. This is the most versatile jacket Castelli have ever made. Usually, the Faustian nature of a jacket with zip-off sleeves is a compromise that's not particularly good at anything. The Perfetto Convertible is nearly identical to Castelli's renowned Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket with all-over wind protection, essentially waterproof rain protection, excellent breathability, and close-to-body fit. By adjusting the layers underneath this jacket, you can cover everything from mild conditions to cold days, whether sunny or wet. The sleeves zip off just above the elbow to make it nearly identical to Castelli's renowned Gabba — the pros' choice. On mild days, you'll leave home with the sleeves removed; in changing conditions you'll pull the compact sleeves off and stuff them in a pocket. Used this way, the Convertible is even better than a Gabba, thanks to the front zipped vents. If you're not sure whether to buy a Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket or Gabba RoS 2, then the Convertible is the way to go. Already have a Perfetto and a Gabba? You'll be surprised how convenient the Convertible is for mid-ride shedding of the sleeves, but it really shines for travel, when space is limited.
Pack a Convertible and an Idro and you'll be perfectly prepared for everything.

ROSSO CORSA
The Rosso Corsa label is only applied to the highest-level products Castelli make. Every thread and fiber, every curve and contour is obsessed over. Rosso Corsa represents a categorical breakthrough in cycling innovation and the meticulous craftsmanship you expect from Castelli’s performance-enhancing apparel.
GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®
Gore-Tex® garments provide total wind protection and maximum breathability. The windproof membrane keeps you from getting cold due to windchill, but the optimum breathability prevents overheating and moisture accumulation by allowing sweat to escape easily. Water repellency is ensured by the DWR treatment applied to the outer fabric.
ROS - RAIN OR SHINE
Castelli engineered RoS as the no-compromise best clothing they know to make for dry conditions, then made it as close to waterproof as possible without sacrificing breathability and ventilation.
