The Castelli Emergency 3 Rain Jacket offers reliable waterproof protection for unexpected downpours or all-day wet conditions. Its lightweight and compact design allows it to fit easily into a jersey pocket, making it ideal for road rides, gravel adventures, and endurance cycling.
Constructed from Castelli’s 3-layer Deluge fabric with a 20,000 mm water column rating, this jacket provides full waterproof and windproof protection. The fabric is thin and light for packability, with a knit polyester inner layer that feels comfortable against the skin. Taped seams and a waterproof zipper enhance water resistance.
The jacket features a close-to-body but not tight fit with performance stretch fabric that moves with you without binding. Its articulated cut supports riding position mobility and reduces flapping at speed.
An extended rear tail offers extra coverage from road spray, while 360° reflective details improve visibility in low-light and poor weather. This jacket is intended as an emergency outer layer rather than a fully insulated cold-weather garment.
Weighing approximately 222 grams, the Emergency 3 is light enough to carry on nearly every ride and packs down small for easy storage in jersey pockets or bikepacking bags.
