What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I threw the Espresso 2 Jacket on for a ride that started at 40 degrees and warmed up fast, and I never had to stop and shed a layer. The three lie-flat back pockets held my phone, food, and a rain shell without any bounce, even once I picked up the pace."A ride that starts cold and ends warm used to mean packing extra layers, or worse, overheating halfway through, but the Espresso 2 Jacket erases that decision entirely. Castelli built this jacket around mornings that don't stay one temperature for long, giving riders a single piece that adapts instead of a wardrobe of options to second-guess before rolling out. Polartec AirCore fabric sits at the center of that adaptability, an air-permeable membrane that traps warmth low and releases heat as effort climbs, so the jacket feels right at the start of the ride and still right an hour in. Raw-cut, lie-flat seams and an engineered waist keep cold air from sneaking in at the back, while three lie-flat pockets hold gear flat against the body instead of flapping at speed. A reflective elastic trim adds a bit of visibility for the rides that start before the sun's fully up.
