The new Castelli Alpha Ultimate Insulated Jacket takes the brand's hugely well-reviewed Alpha RoS 2 cycling jacket and makes it 30% lighter, stretchier and even more comfortable to wear, while retaining the same levels of warmth, breathability and protection.

This change has been brought about by altering the fabric makeup, so the jacket now has a highly flexible, waterproof yet breathable outer made from Polartec® NeoShell®, which remains separate from the equally airy Polartec® Alpha® insulation at the front of the jacket.

So, if you want protection from the rain on a warm day, you can zip up the outer and leave the inner open; for a bit of insulation on a dry day, you can zip the inner and leave the outer open; when you're hot and sweaty after a climb you can vent both layers; or, when it's plain horrible out, you can zip them both up. Whatever winter conditions you're facing, including temperatures down to -5˚C, this jacket can cope with them.

Effectively waterproof seam taping at the shoulders, a flat lying hem that seals out the wind, and cuffs that integrate with your gloves to stop wind and water from entering all help to make this jacket warmer than its weight would suggest, while being impressively waterproof and letting sweat escape. Ample storage in the form of three rear pockets and a zipped side pocket rounds out a weatherproof jacket that's hard to beat in terms of versatility and comfort.

Features:

  • Fully windproof, effectively waterproof in normal riding conditions
  • With a protective outer made from waterproof Polartec® NeoShell® 4-way stretch fabric
  • Inner formed from warm, breathable Polartec® Alpha® insulation
  • The two layers have separate double-opening zips, so you can open one, both or neither to regulate the ventilation and temperature
  • External seam taping for near waterproof status, while no-sew bonded hem seals out wind
  • Anatomically shaped cuff integrates with gloves
  • 3 rear pockets, secure zippered side pocket
  • Reflective areas at lower back, shoulders and around wrists
  • Weighs 371g (large size)
  • For use at temperatures from -5-12˚C, 23-54˚F

    How does the DASH Store work?

    At DASH, we've created a Cycle to Work enabled storefront which allows you to browse and order a range of items, all whilst benefitting from savings of 28-47%. The cost of items you order is split into 12 months and deducted from your gross (or pre-tax) salary, allowing you to save on income tax and national insurance contributions, which is called salary sacrifice. After 12 months, you'll be able to continue using your items at no extra cost.

    What items are available on DASH Store?

    We have a range of items, from bikes and e-bikes, to accessories (such as helmets and locks), bike parts and tools, clothing (including jackets, shorts, shoes, and everything in between), even pre-owned bikes. We work with a range of brands so there's sure to be something you like in stock.

    Can I use other Cycle to Work scheme vouchers on DASH Store?

    Since we are a Cycle to Work scheme ourselves, we cannot accept vouchers from other scheme providers. If you would like to use DASH and already have a voucher, it might be worth speaking to your employer to see if they are able to refund it.
