Like all of ALÉ's Klimatik-series garments, the lightweight Klimatik Guscio Elements Jacket offers exceptional protection in versatile, high performing piece. It carries a wide suggested temperate range because although you can wear it as a wind or water shell on a 60°F day, it can also be effectively used with insulating layers down to 35°F. The capabilities come down to construction details, intelligent design, and the tremendous effectiveness of ALÉ's Rainshell Antiacqua 2.5 textile. This is wind and waterproof shell that is actually a membrane system, so it also is highly breathable, allowing moisture and excess heat to escape, to keep you much more comfortable no matter how you need to use it. This is the type of jacket that should be a foundation piece in every cycling wardrobe.

As mentioned, the design details are perfect. The snug, high collar has a soft inner face and enough flexibility to give you great coverage and largely seal out the elements. The zipper is rainproof and an inner flap adds more blacking capability. ALÉ is using their taped and bonded seams, which are waterproof as well. The sleeves run down to flat, shaped cuffs that act like a gasket and can fit over a glove for increased coverage and shielding from wind and water.

This is a true cycling jacket, cut shorter in the front, with an extended rear, so the jacket offers the comfort and coverage you require. The hem has some stretch fit capability, but you will also see inserts on either side that directly control the waist fit and help hold the jacket in place. ALÉ applies their standard, excellent Klimatik Guscio series reflective details to deliver great low-light visibility.
