Be seen in brilliant orange contrast through dark, wintery mist and rain showers with the Castelli Alpha RoS 2 Light Jacket. The lightweight shell protects you from irritating transitional weather as you roll towards summer. With honor, it inherits all the winning qualities of the Alpha RoS 2, but in a more breathable, lightweight design. GORE-TEX on the front and sleeves shields your torso from misty rain and chilled wind, while the lighter insulating layer of the RoS 2 Light manages to keep you comfortable in on hard-hitting training rides as body-heat builds. Nano Flex Xtra Dry on the back adds a thin barrier that repels rain while promoting additional heat loss and sweat evaporation.
The extremely versatile shell begs to be so much more as the three rear pockets provide ample room for valuables and snacks. The semi-fitting cut allows room for your favorite baselayer or training jersey without a sacrificing range of motion or freedom.

Happy I sized up
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm 5 11 165 lbs medium build and followed the advice to size up. Very happy with the fit. Still a snug racing jacket but I dont feel like I'm in a sausage casing. Can't wait to try it in some different weather conditions!

Accurate sizing
Every review of this light jacket as well as the ROS 2 jacket say the sizing runs absurdly small. I have found that to not be the case. I?m 5?9? 175lbs with an athletic build. Broad shoulders, and wear a size 32 pants. I bought a size large and the jacket fits excellent. Snug, slim fit, but not restrictive at all and no excess material. It you like your cycling clothing to fit as cycling clothing is supposed to fit, then the sizing is spot on in my opinion. Haven?t had a chance to use the jacket yet to comment on the performance but the quality and fit is A1. Can?t wait to put it to use.

Nice Addition to a Winter Kit
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Overall a good addition to winter riding. I've used this in upper 30s, lower 40s degree F dry weather with good results. Base layering is key, as well as using a long sleeve jersey underneath. It breaths well, yet maintains your core temperature. The usual Castelli smaller-than-normal sizing: I'm 5'8", 176 lbs with a 40" chest and the XL fits me well (snug everywhere, but not too tight). Back pockets are right-sized, the lower-left zipper pocket is a secure spot for car keys. The bright red is perfect for visibility, the sleeves long enough to cover past my wrists, and the rubberized bottom hem ensures it doesn't creep up. It's pricey, but the construction is impeccable and I would expect it to wear well over the years.
