Castelli Espresso Air Jacket | What Is Ristretto Technology?

[@andersbjrnskov8130]

So its "just" a softshell, jacket? If I ride in 0 to 8 degrees, what would you recommend - the Perfetto, this Espresso/Ristretto og maybe the Alpha Ros 2...or the Beta Ros maybe? Or Alpha Flight?

Thanks for watching and for the comment! If you ride in the dry (or light rain/road spray) then the Espresso Jacket is the best for keeping you comfortable. If you are (like the vast majority of people now) a relatively fair weather rider who carries a packable jacket, then it is the best. If you want a 'fit and forget' aero jacket that can keep you comfortable in all weather (but not be optimised) then the Perfetto is for you. This means no carrying a packable rain jacket, but just pushing on through whatever. The Alpha Flight is best suited to riders who want the rain protection similar to the Perfetto, but then option for better temperature management by being able to open to windproof front (which does make it flappy). Hope that helps. Any further questions, just ask!
