The Meccanico series garments were made with cyclocross mechanics is mind. Life in the pits during cross season will take from the heat of Cross Vegas through frozen venue up north and everything in between, such as the rain and mud that is ever present in the Pacific Northwest after mid-September. Hence the Meccanico Reversible Rain Jacket, a heavy duty, three layer fully waterproof jacket that can be your outer layer from temps in the low 30's through the upper 60's depending on what you wear underneath. Sized generously, specifically for active labor and the ability to insulate underneath (such as with the Meccanico Puffy Jacket) this is piece that can handle the rigor of the pit grind, and ignore constant downpours or freezing sleet.

Fully seam-sealed, with sealed zippers as well, the jacket is truly waterproof, and though thick and durable, it offers plenty of range of motion for wrenching, even with its trench coat-like, thigh length. An oversized hood delivers plenty of protection, stays in place, and gives you that "emperor from Star Wars" kind of intimidation that keeps other techs away from from your 5mm Allen wrench. We have saved the best feature for last. Remember, this is the Meccanico Reversible Rain Jacket. You can turn it inside out when you get bored with black, or simply want to stand out in the pits as your infuriated team cyclist carries a bike the last 20 yards because the chain broke. He or she needs to find you fast, or at least know where to throw the bike, as the dreams of a mud-spattered podium slip away. Kidding of course, but the striking red color is easy to pick up quickly. We highly recommend running the black side outward when having to perform messy drivetrain overhauls.

Keep yourself protected during the cross season from the rain and irate cyclists at all times with the standout Meccanico Reversible Rain Jacket from Castelli. Return to Top
