THIS IS NOT
RAINWEAR.

We’ve engineered RoS as the no-compromise best clothing we
know how to make for dry conditions, and then tried to make it as
close to waterproof as possible without sacrificing breathability.
From the beginning, cycling clothing was separated into two
categories: dry-weather clothing that would quickly soak through
in the rain, and rainwear that kept the rain off but was baggy and
didn’t breathe, so you’d never dream of wearing it in dry conditions.
You had to correctly guess the weather for the day or else suffer in
the wrong clothing. We’ve all come home absolutely frozen to the
bone because we didn’t think it would rain.
Castelli is out to fix this problem. With Rain or Shine, our goal is
to make garments that are absolutely best in class for dry-weather
riding but that will keep you dry if it starts to rain. We’re developing
new fabrics that are both more breathable and better at water
protection, and we’re inventing intelligent design details that keep
the water out yet provide ample breathability and ventilation.
