Castelli was an early innovator in merging rain gear with normal riding clothing. The neoprene-like Gabba offered rain protection in the form of a fitted jersey years ago, and now many companies have a similar offering. This winter, Castelli upped the ante with a line it calls RoS, for Rain or Shine, featuring water-deflecting bib tights, a longsleeve jersey and a jacket. Castelli claims these pieces all breathe well enough for everyday riding in the cold, but they also offer dependable rain protection.
Castelli Rain or Shine Jersey $249 / £210
The RoS Jersey has Windstopper sleeves and front panels with a ProSecco Strada liner that has its own zipper

As with the Gabba and the Perfetto, the Castelli Rain or Shine Jersey isn't a typical thermal jersey. Instead, it has water-deflecting material front and rear to keep most of the rain out while still breathing more than a cheap rain jacket.
The RoS Jersey uses Windstopper 150 on the front and sleeves, with Nano Flex Xtra Dry on the back.
It has a built-in baselayer of sorts with a ProSecco Strada liner on the front that has its own zipper. The idea is that you can unzip the jersey, and still have some protection on your chest.
Castelli LW Bibtight $139 / £125
Castelli Rain or Shine Jacket $349 / £260
