This is not a drill: The Castelli jacket I ride in all winter is reduced by up to 70%

Castelli alpha ros 2.

I might buy two. Except, no, I won't need to - I'm still wearing the one I reviewed back in 2021 and it's in excellent condition, hundreds of chilly rides and an (almost!) equal number of washes later.

At the time, the only thing I criticised the Castelli Alpha RoS (Rain or Shine) 2 Light jacket for was its 'baggy sleeves'. Now, I'm two years older, I don't race anymore (I'm someone's mum now?!), I spend more time in the gym/eat more cake, and I can confidently say that the sleeves are just fine.
