Maximum insulation and moisture management for cold weather rides
The Polartec® Alpha® fabric provides excellent insulation – soft, stretchy and lightweight. A few years ago Castelli thought it would be great for a base layer, but it felt rather damp and clammy on the skin. However, when they were looking for more thermal protection for their sub-zero gravel rides, they tried the Alpha® prototypes as a second layer over a Prosecco base layer – and came up with the perfect combination for cold rides. Castelli worked on the details and perfected this second layer for cold days. They gave it a half-length zip so it doesn't add too much bulk in the stomach area. And they placed the zip slightly off-center to avoid multiple zips meeting at the neck. Castelli kept the fit close to the body so you have the choice of tucking it into the tights or wearing it on top. Castelli also found that it works great over a Flanders, Bandito, Miracolo or Seamless base layer.

Polartec® Alpha®
The Polartec® Alpha® fabric is a great insulator – soft, stretchy and lightweight. A few years ago we thought it would be great for base layers, but it felt rather damp and clammy on the skin. However, when we were looking for more thermal protection for our sub-zero gravel rides, we tried the Alpha® prototypes as a second layer over a Prosecco base layer – and came up with the perfect combination for cold rides. We worked on the details and perfected this second layer for cold days. We gave it a half-length zip so it doesn't add too much bulk in the stomach area. And we placed the zip slightly off-center to avoid multiple zips meeting at the neck. We kept the fit close to the body so you have the choice of tucking it into the tights or wearing it over them, like we do. We also found that it works great over a Flanders, Bandito, Miracolo or Seamless base layer.
