Castelli Ultra Rain Cape, a versatile waterproof, breathable, and very compact jacket

When we want to go out on our bike and bad weather threatens, it can be difficult to get the right clothing so we don't end up too short or too much. For those routes, Castelli has just introduced its new Ultra Rain Cape jacket. A waterproof third layer, extremely breathable, and very compactable.

New Castelli Ultra Rain Cape Jacket

It is difficult to find a waterproof jacket that really keeps us dry on the inside when our effort increases on the bike. But the numbers promised by the new Castelli Ultra Rain Cape come close to a truly waterproof garment -10,000 mm of water column- with the maximum breathability currently offered in the market -30,000 g/m²/24 h-.

Castelli has achieved this by making this jacket with Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM fabric that has a DWR treatment without PFAS and PCR and is made of 100% recycled polyester. A revolutionary two-layer stretch fabric that promises the high-performance weather protection mentioned without compromising comfort or mobility.

The brand focuses on the new Castelli Ultra Rain Cape as a perfect jacket to carry in the back pocket against the unpredictable summer storms or to wear over a long-sleeved jersey on dark winter days.

As is characteristic of Castelli, the Ultra Rain has a tight, aerodynamic, and flexible fit that does not restrict movement. It also has reflective elements on the arms and waist.

Its price is €230, and it is available in 2 colors (black or fluorescent yellow) with sizes ranging from XS to 3XL.
