Our stamp of approval.

When standing out with style isn't quite enough, you sometimes seek to stand out with a story. Guardsman Pass, cresting 9,700' above sea level over the Wasatch Mountains, is mere miles from our main offices here in Park City, Utah, providing venue to popular local races, pro-fests like the Tour of Utah, and our own inter-company KOM battles alike. In homage to its relentlessly steep grades and stunning views, we offer the Capo Guardsman Jacket, based on the fantastic Padrone Thermal jacket, and featuring the Competitive Cyclist logo as a stamp of approval for cyclists who push to, and beyond, their limits.


Capo's Padrone Thermal jacket falls under what it calls its Gruppo Sportivo, or GS Series. Designed to "push-the-envelope" of cycling apparel, the GS series receives Capo's most advanced materials and construction techniques. Basically, it checks all of the boxes on your wishlist — compression, comfort, support, flexibility, and warmth. So, the Padrone was constructed from a blend of Capo's fabrics — Shark, Super Roubaix Carbon, and Windtex. Starting with Shark, this material strikes the ideal balance between insulation and breathability. Operating as a membrane between the skin and the elements, the fabric regulates the internal temperature of the jacket by releasing excess heat between the material and the skin. But mainly, this system promotes warmth by keeping you dry. Shark is not only wind-resistant, but Capo made sure that it was water-resistant, as well. Match that with a slim cut from hem to hem, and there's not a chance that rain or snow is getting in. And to be completely certain of this, Capo integrated the windproof Windtex fabric throughout the jacket.


In addition to prepping for the elements, the Padrone has been designed to be highly malleable in order to complement the cycling-specific flexibility of the GS series. Capo made the Padrone with a lengthened rear hem, a multiple panel construction, and pre-shaped sleeves. The idea was to complement the body in motion, and by doing so, reducing any possibility of abrasion along the way. Even further along these lines, Capo incorporated Super Roubaix Carbon lateral stretch panels. This microfiber has a four-way stretch construction with elements of carbon fiber within the composition. This gives the material a natural antimicrobial characteristic that will fight off odor-creating bacteria. Altogether, it's plain to see that the Padrone looks more like a technical long sleeve jersey than a jacket that protects down to 35 degrees Fahrenheit. We suppose that's why its name translates to "master."


The Capo Guardsman Jacket is available in five sizes, from Small to XX-Large, and in the color Black only. Please note that Capo suggests that the Padrone achieves the best results between 35-45 degrees Fahrenheit. Every jacket is also handmade in Italy.
