Castelli PERFETTO RoS CONVERTIBLE jacket, neon yellow

Variant Castelli PERFETTO RoS CONVERTIBLE bunda, oranžová

after a lot of thinking, reading, watching videos, etc., I convinced my wife that this jacket could be the right nut for me for spring trips

I admit, I had respect, after all, only 220 euros for a jacket is not a cheap joke, because there are also cheaper ones, but I secretly believed that it was worth the money... I took the convertible version on purpose to have a 2 in 1, perfetto and gabba

I took her on my first trip today, barely 10 degrees and quite unpleasant and very cold wind... until then I went on such trips dressed in one thin, one warm layer and on top of that an insulated jersey (one of those cheap ) and I was able to come out of the exit feeling pretty cold, since it didn't breathe through the 3 layers and you sweated a lot, so every (however short) descent was very unpleasant and I'll be honest, I was afraid for my lungs...
to tell you the truth, after this jacket arrived, I went on my first trip with a little soul... after all, the jacket is so thin and light that I thought that it probably couldn't be true that it works like this and that it's rather marketing... and although the conditions were as described above and my mind told me to dress more, I risked it - I only put on one thicker long t-shirt (nothing special - "thermo" from Lidl) and this jacket on top - I was shocked that it was really true... at that moment I said to myself that I don't regret even a euro... I didn't come away cold at all from the trip, I wasn't afraid that I would catch a cold, it's just great... I've been buying so far some cheaper stuff from lidl and the like, but I can see that versus picking up x different new long cycling jackets from lidl, (because hopefully this next one will be better) and buying a proper one instead is a better option

if someone is worried about the fit - it's narrower, for sure... but I'm still far from an athletic figure (194 cm/97-98 kg), I took XL and it's fine... you just have to be familiar with it that it's actually cut "on the body," so that the material works better and it should be your "second skin" - I was a little afraid of the zippers on the sleeves, that it wouldn't print, but they're cool... you can wear this the jacket initially feels a little strange when standing normally level, but after leaning into the riding position suddenly everything fits where it should

I recommend

I will also add my experience, maybe I can help someone. There have been various reviews and contributions here, and I would like to confirm some facts. Those who drive regularly and year-round will appreciate it the most. It is suitable for both Road and XC/MTB. In my opinion, it is a useless investment for low-intensity physical activity or excursion/occasional cyclists, but everything is possible if the size and layering are correct. I bought it after the winter season, but the extremely cold April at temperatures of 3-7 degrees justifies its use during 3 seasons. However, it is necessary to learn to combine the lower layers appropriately and especially to observe the cut, which must fit the body. I wear everything L from Castelli, it fits me according to the chart (181cm, 72-75kg), but with this jacket I went to XL to have room for the bottom layer, or two in winter and snow. I'm also currently combining it with the short Craft Active Intensity, but since the jacket doesn't fit me perfectly everywhere, it has its disadvantages in extremely strong wind (which would be solved by another thin layer). Therefore, try the sizes in the riding position and stick to the table size as much as possible (it has its meaning), although most owners went for a higher number. Sportier body types (wider chest and shoulders/biceps) will have a disadvantage, because the jacket will be a little looser in the waist, but this can be made up for with the mentioned additional layers. I also tried size L before winter and it was extremely uncomfortable, sometimes even short. The military green color is even more beautiful than the name and is perfect for fighting the wind on the dam as well as on XC and in the forest.

excellent jacket, there's really nothing to think about.... if it still happens to be in good condition, take it right away
182 cm 74 kg, I took Lko and the size is absolutely great, the length and width do not fly anywhere, it sits beautifully around the stomach, so no puffiness... but the minus is that the sleeves are narrower, when I wear thermals with long sleeves, a sweatshirt and then my arms are terribly tight in this jacket, I do it this way that instead of long thermal sleeves I put on a T-shirt with short sleeves and it's a little better

after wearing it for the first time, you will probably feel quite tight and clumsy, as if you have a hot potato under your arms, but when you get on the bike, it disappears immediately and you don't even know you have this jacket on

the jacket can also handle a fairly high pace in terms of heat and moisture removal, it can be opened beautifully along the ribs for better circulation
as written in other comments, it's an expensive jacket, but when you find out how you sleep in it and how it can hold a person, you'll be sure that you've made a great purchase

it freezes, but if a person falls somehow unluckily or at a higher speed and tears it, I "made" the left sleeve so that it can be taken off, but you have to think about it
as the associate professor of fico would say, whoever does - makes mistakes

Perfect material to the touch, quality workmanship, zippers on the side
the orange color looks more prominent in the photo than it actually is, it looks really nice
XL = my height 192 cm, 85 kg, chest circumference 93 cm, waist 93 and hips 97 cm, biceps circumference 32 cm, it fits perfectly, I had the feeling that it was a little short for the length in the front, but after bending into the cycling position, it's okay.

The removable sleeves are easy to remove but will be more difficult to put on, maybe it's a matter of habit but the first time I couldn't put it on myself.
I haven't tested the functionality yet, depending on the weather.

EDIT: 5 tested on trips, temperature 18 degrees but cold wind, thermal bottom layer -> side pockets unzipped, upper zipper about 5 cm from the top, after walking 20 km everything was dry under the jacket and I was not cold at all. With the strong wind, I didn't even feel the cold.

14 degrees also only the bottom layer, everything can be regulated nicely, also in the dry.
I recommend 10/10. I see the biggest advantage in the variability, the side pockets are great. It's a perfect thing and worth the money!

The jacket is great, it doesn't blow or get wet, and in temperatures around zero, if I wasn't lazy, it was mostly possible to keep up with a Flanders warm/neck and a thin artificial t-shirt. On the descent, however, it was no longer enough and I could feel the cold wind on my arms and neck, which I was not well protected, only my torso was ok. So it would need a thicker layer underneath. But there is already a bit of a problem, because the sleeves are very tight. I met the Mko according to the table, I also took the L for comparison to be sure, and finally I will return the Mko. For a while, I also considered changing the L to an XL (it was tight under the armpits), but even the L was already looser in the waist. It would be a little wider on the chest. If you have a larger chest or arms, it may not fit. I don't know if in the end it helped me lose less than two kilos or if the jacket stretched a little during testing, but I don't feel this problem anymore (the thicker layer will be questionable). I didn't even think about it while driving. Of course, you have to try it in the riding position, it sits differently than when a person is upright.

So today I tried for the first time, route BB - Kralova studna (mountain hotel under Kriznou) and back, total 58 km, Garmin showed me an average temperature of 7 degrees, sunny. I didn't believe the reviews here and I put on a thin merino shirt and a thin thermal shirt. After 15 minutes, it went into the backpack and stayed there. Up the hill (mostly in the shade, sun only here and there) I had to unbutton my jacket, I think a short sleeve would have been enough, but the comfort was incredible. For the descent (approx. 20 km from an altitude of 1,300 m), I put on an ultra light against the wind just to be sure, but I think it would be fine without it, or just a vest would be enough. No feeling of cold, nothing, and my mouth and nose were completely stiff from the winter. I'm 176 cm and 71 kg, I took the size M, but I changed it to L (I didn't stretch my biceps at all, L is just right, I probably need to exercise less ), it fits me exactly, maybe a little stretch on my stomach. I highly recommend it.

100% functional piece. In temperatures above zero, I put Craft Active Intensity under this jacket, when it's freezing, Warm Intensity. Nothing more. There is no need to be afraid of the winter at the beginning of the trip, a person will automatically warm up by moving. Such a double combination is ideal for maintaining "operating temperature" and above all for effective sweat removal. I didn't freeze or come home wet. This morning the temperature was -6°C, over a 4-hour trip, I wasn't cold, and I arrived dry. As for the size, you need to stick to the size chart. I took L, chest circumference 102-103cm (height 184cm, it is not in the table, as it is not that important), it fits me perfectly. However, it is special cycling clothing, that must be taken into account, do not try it on as normal clothing. First, it has to fit the body for functionality, and it fits perfectly when you are in the riding position (leaning forward, with your arms on your forearms).

I have a Sportful fiandre light no rain jacket, but it is for higher temperatures. When it was cold, I wore a sleeveless tank top plus pullovers, Sportful mentioned, but I felt the cold on my shoulder joints. This jacket solved it perfectly.
I started driving it when it was around 3-7 degrees mostly on MTB, I have nothing to add. Real thermal comfort. At 15, I took off the sleeves, while the shoulder joints remained nicely protected.
The sleeves are a little worse to put on, basically you have to take off the jacket, but that's with every piece like that.
I'm still wearing Craft Active Intensity and a sleeveless tank top under my jacket. I dare say that in a mild winter (Bratislava) it is a three-season jacket.

Great, it really works very well. It has quite narrow sleeves, but it's fine on my parched hands. It is questionable whether it was worth it for me to buy this model with removable sleeves, but only time will tell. The only drawback is the price.

For 189 cm / 75 kg, I ended up buying size L. The sleeves are long enough, I fit into it and it's not loose, but it's a little shorter on the back for my taste. Size XL seemed a bit loose to me. I originally tried in several layers of loose civilian clothes (on a colder day), the L was small then, but I'm not that dressed up on the bike.

The ultimate piece of clothing. After a long hesitation, I also decided to pay that amount for a cycling jacket, but I don't regret a single cent. The very first exit below 10 degrees, wind and light rain. Same exits and descents. On the uphills, the jacket ventilated beautifully, and on the downhills, I normally felt the air bursting in my chest. She kept me warm and dry. The only problem I had after 5 hours in the saddle was that I could already feel the fingers on my hands from the wet gloves during the descents. I recommend this drum. With high-quality thermal underwear, a jersey and this jacket, you can travel in Bratislava 95% of the year without problems.

Windstopper set in the front and on the back, the front part is insulated, the back is more stretchy, the sides have ventilation through the zipper, the high collar does not creak or constrict. I recommend trying it, the cut is very sporty, I tried with and without an insulated jersey to wear it even in lower temperatures. The sleeve is more difficult to put on over the joint when undressing, but in the place where the zipper is there is a widened hem, which the jacket can be easily grabbed with the other hand and pulled over the joint and then taken off, you just have to find the right procedure. Although it is a procedure, it is better than damaging the jacket.

This is a really top product. Nothing beats comfort and lightness. Really a jacket for the period from autumn through winter to spring trips. It is enough to play with the bottom layer. Unfortunately, mine has already fallen, fortunately the material is of really good quality and the jacket does not bear any marks from the fall. I want to draw attention to the size: In my case (173cm, 75kg), I bought M based on the size worn at sportful and checking the table. Although I put the jacket on, it was tight. Exchange for size L and maximum satisfaction.

The jacket is great, although it is a bit tight around the shoulders and biceps, but you can get used to it (or lose a bit of weight ). I thought for a long time whether I needed removable sleeves, but on the second outing with a jacket, when it was 4 degrees in the morning and around 12 noon, I took advantage of it, took the sleeves off, and I can't praise it enough...

Moja najobľúbenejšia cyklobunda. Použiteľná od 5 do 15 stupňov.

Vybral som žiarivú oranžovú z dôvodu maximálneho zvýšenia pasívnej bezpečnosti na ceste.

Veľkosť XL/183 cm/86 kg.

Strih je perfektný, priliehavý. Bunda je tenká a ľahká. Vydrží slabší dážď, priedušnosť skvelá.

After getting dressed and standing in front of the mirror, I was embarrassed, for this and so much €??? But I knew what this jacket could do, so I wasn't disappointed after the trip, but a lot has already been described here, I'll just add... those of us who wear it look great in it ? PS: 188cm/82kg = XL ?

The best bicycle investment in recent years. Whether it's 5 degrees outside or 15, whether you're going uphill or downhill, the jacket is fantastic. I only wear merino under it. I've never had anything better. I am 193 cm, 88 kg, I took XXL, it fits me perfectly.

Bunda je fajn, jen jsem potreboval vetsi velikost, takze jsem ji vrátil a koupil jinde. Ma úzké rukávy, takze pro spoustu lidi muze byt nepohodlná. Ale jinak je příjemná, neprofoukne a nepromokne.
