Does everything except the dishes.

These days, most of us carry around a small device in our pocket that can make phone calls, send emails, explore the Internet, and take pictures, to name just a few of its capabilities. Clothing technology has progressed likewise, albeit in a different direction. Sure, Castelli would love nothing more than to produce a cycling jacket that can play DVDs and cook rice, but until the rest of the world catches up with its ideas, we're happy to present the next best thing that its innovation has yielded: the Castelli Poggio Convertible Jacket, which performs the dual tricks of being both a cold-weather jacket and a cool-weather vest in one piece.


Lest you think the Poggio jacket is a one-trick pony, you'll be happy to learn it's indeed an excellent all-around piece. The jacket's front is paneled with Gore Windstopper X-Lite fabric, making it entirely windproof and highly water resistant, while the back is a lighter and more breathable polyester blend that serves to insulate relatively well while also allowing excellent breathability to evacuate accumulated moisture within. For particularly gross weather, the Thermoflex collar flips up to roughly double the height of most zip-up collars, comfortably keeping you warm without impeding the mobility of your head and neck while in the riding position.


As mentioned, the star of the Poggio show is the zipper-removable sleeves that readily turn the jacket into a high-performance wind vest. No more need to unzip the front and let the jacket fly like a cape in the wind as you try to keep cool once the sun comes out or the pace picks up. The sleeves are light and roll up easily for storage in any of the vest's three rear elastic pockets. For an even greater boost in practicality, the vest/jacket (vacket?) also has a number of light-reflective graphic elements to ensure that you're visible to cars in low-light conditions.


The Castelli Poggio Jacket comes in two color schemes — White/black/red and Anthracite/black/red — and in six sizes, from Small to XXX-Large. The jacket is recommended for temperatures in the 45-60 range, Fahrenheit.
