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 Elemento Jacket.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Elemento 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.


Comparing Prices

Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Castelli Elemento Jacket Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

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.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Castelli Elemento Jacket reviews there.

  • Description: Castelli Elemento JacketWe all have that jacket. You know the one. Usually a little puffy and packed with cosy warmth to make you feel good every time you’re forced out into the biting chill of wintry days. Castelli know that jacket of yours too and have created the Elemento to give you that same feeling in the saddle. But while the insulation on display here is highly effective at keeping you warm and keeping the wind at bay, it’s also far more breathable than it should have any right to be, allowing plenty of cooling airflow when the going gets tough, and wicking away sweat to keep you dry from the inside out.On top of that, the construction of the Elemento Jacket is simply superb. Plisse stretch panels can be found on the side, elbows and wrists to give complete freedom of movement without losing out on those essential aero gains to keep up that rush you look for on the road. In the back, you’ll find three pockets with a reflective gusset to help keep your visibility high.Because the fabrics used have limited stretch Castelli created a new cut, one that fits slightly looser than your race jacket. It’s the perfect cut for longer winter base-mile rides, rather than all-out speed sessions. Use your closer fitting Perfetto come spring intervals, but for the rest grab the Elemento Lite.Features:Material: 100% Polyamide (Nylon)3-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 Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.
