Castelli Women’s Elemento Lite Jacket features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Jackets – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Castelli Women’s Elemento Lite Jacket.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Women’s Elemento Lite Jacket is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Jackets – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Jackets – Cycle. Brands like Castelli are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Jackets – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

• Description: Castelli Women’s Elemento Lite JacketTaking the warmth of your favourite puffy jacket and combining it with incredible breathability, Castelli’s Women’s Elemento Lite Jacket is a highly functional cycling garment designed for cold weather riding.With an impressive balance of warmth and breathability, the Women’s Elemento Lite Jacket is able to pull off this balancing act thanks to the unique construction and material mix. Instead of using a windproof membrane and insulation, Castelli uses a water-resistant synthetic down insulation sandwiched between wind-resistant woven inner and outer layers that trap warmth but at the same time allows a small degree of air-permeability. It’s that small amount of air that passes through to the body that picks up perspiration and evaporates it more efficiently than any windproof membrane fabric available. The result – amazing warmth, protection and comfort even when working hard.Castelli cut the jacket slightly looser than a full race fit, but with Plisse stretch panels on sides, elbows and wrists they’ve still been able to minimise excess fabric that can catch the wind, while at the same time offers you full mobility when you’re on the bike. When taking on long winter rides the Elemento Lite Jacket provides the warmth you’ll love with the breathability for taking on those tougher climbs and faster-paced sections without being overwhelmed with sweat. Features:Materials: 100% Polyamide3-layer insulated construction with engineered air permeability gives best combination of warmth, breathability and lightweightJapanese-made air-permeable woven-textured nylon outer shell with water-repellent finishPolypropylene synthetic down insulation layer provides warmth while allowing full breathability without any water absorptionPlisse stretch panels on sides, elbows and wrists allow for close-to-body fit yet with full freedom of movement3 rear pockets with reflective gusset at bottomInner waist closure allows you to block out drafts (closed) or allow extra breathability (open)Suggested temperature range: 0 to 12 Degrees CBuy Castelli Cycle Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
