This is a modern interpretation of the windproof cape, one that you can keep in your pocket ready to be worn in a long descent or during the first hour of pedaling until the day warms up. This jacket was originally very basic - a simple nylon cap - but the lack of elasticity meant that it should be cut on the back of the hips to be able to adapt to all the bodywork, both on the bike and when you are not riding.
We completely reconsidered how it must be an anti-wind mantle and how it should be built. We added panels on the sides and sleeves are in a very elastic fabric but at the same time with a very thick texture that allows us to give the jacket a modern look, tight, and able to hold more heat than a blazing jacket. We made it super compact so that it can be put away by occupying a minimum space in the pocket of a shirt.
The elasticized panels are treated to be water repellent, which will be of help in case of light rainy, but is not conceived to be a real rain jacket.
The Squadra Stretch jacket keeps the wind away during the exits with fresh weather or long descents, while the elasticized panels make it well adhere to the body eliminating the slippery fabric.
