Castelli Elemento 7X Air Jacket

We use the best winter membrane fabrics on the market but still find ourselves wanting more breathability. That’s why we invented Elemento. We start with a fully windand waterproof external layer and then quilt it to a fleece inner layer using the trapunto technique. This results in an extremely stretchy wind-resistant fabric, but the stitch holes give just the right amount of air permeability. The result is a continuous exchange of air on the inside of the garment that carries away moisture much better than fully sealed fabrics.

We built this into a jacket that’s designed for those fivehour winter training rides where you’re planning your July conquests. But it works equally well for the onehour lunchtime ride that you manage to sneak into your busy day, since it only needs a base layer underneath and it’s ready to go.

The extreme stretch of the fabric means that we could cut it slim. This actually makes it warmer since there’s less unwanted air flowing on the inside of the garment. Pockets are external, so they’re easy to access in every condition.

There must be a downside, right? We definitely wouldn’t take this out on a rain day, since rain will come through the quilting stitching, though the fabric is DWR treated and will shed light spray
