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 Goccia Jacket.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Goccia 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
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Jackets – Cycle.

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 Goccia 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.

- Description: Castelli Goccia JacketThe Castelli Goccia Jacket is a highly functional cycling waterproof and breathable shell that slips easily over your cycling jersey. However, with its streamlined fit, you will remain nicely streamlined as the heavens open. Rather than look to external partners for the fabric to make their Goccia Jacket, Castelli chose to develop their own fabric, Tempesta Stretch. This waterproof fabric is rated to 10,000 mm waterproofness, and with the in-built stretch has allowed Castelli to keep the fit performance focused and streamlined. When compared to the more expensive GORE-TEX® Idro jackets it’s not quite as breathable or packable but it’s far more durable and the stretch offers a far more refined fit on the bike.It also looks great, feels great and is packable enough to fit in a jersey pocket when not needed. When you’re upping the pace, the rear vent lets sweat escape easier and the drop tail design keeps road spray off your behind. A covered zip keeps spray out the front and reflective trim is there for safety in low light. Everything is there for outstanding comfort when rain clouds start to threaten.Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterTempesta Stretch fabric with windproof PU membrane provides 10,000 mm waterproofness20,600 g/m2/24h breathabilityTaped shoulder seams for waterproofingStretchy for extremely comfortable fit that moves with youPackable enough to fit in jersey pocketCovered easy-sliding YKK® Vislon® zipperExtra-long tail for protection from wheel sprayVent on backReflective stripe at lower backSuggested temperature range: 5 to 14 degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
