Castelli Elemento 7x Air Cycling Jacket

A bit of fresh air makes a big difference
The Elemento 7x(AIR) Jacket was made for cold weather riding, keeping you warm and dry. The revolutionary 7x(AIR) fabric is 7 times more air permeable than our Windstopper fabrics so we build this jacket with 100% protection front and back. The Elemento 7x(AIR) fabric is so breathable that we've only covered about 50% of the jacket with this fabric, creating venting zones throughout the jacket. The extreme stretch of the fabric means that we could cut it slim.
This actually makes it warmer since there's less un-wanted air flowing on the inside of the garment. Pockets are external, so they're easy to access in every condition. We built this into a jacket that's designed for those five hour winter training rides where you're planning your July conquests. But it works equally well for the one hour lunchtime ride that you manage to sneak into your busy day, since it only needs a base layer underneath and its ready to go.
There must be a downside, right. We definitely wouldn't take this out on a rain day since rain will come through the quilting stitching, though the fabric is DWR treated and will shed light spray.
