Replica Tag Heuer1112.ba0801 Aquaracer Quartz wab Watch liner of metalized

In the hype and breathy speak of a press release, Castelli touts its latest three-season cycling jacket as a breakthrough technology that ushers in a new era of comfort and performance. With a stretchy, fluorescent-yellow face fabric, zip-off sleeves, vents, and a Replica Tag Heuer1112.ba0801 Aquaracer Quartz wab Watch liner of metalized polyester, the $499 Insolito Radiation jacket does indeed stand out as something new.Extreme adaptability to outside temperatures during the autumn, winter and spring cycling seasons is the Insolitos primary claim to fame. With a modular design, wearers can pull on a hood, open vents, add a liner, or zip off sleeves to create a vest.

These regulating attributes result in a piece the company cites as having a comfort range for cyclists from 25 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.The modular nature of this piece is nothing new. Outerwear makers since the 1980s have sold ski jackets and other pieces with removable components to regulate heat. But what makes the Castelli Replica Tag Heuer cv2013.fc6206 Carrera Chronograph Watch concept unique is a fabric technology in the liner that uses a thin reflective material akin to Mylar and similar metalized space blanket materials. Called Radiation fabric, this silvery sheen helps maintain body heat without relying on a bulky insulation like fleece.

I got my press sample of the Insolito in August and rode with it during a couple cool September nights. This was not the optimal -- nor intended -- time of year for the piece, but even so I could feel the Radiation fabric doing its thing. Like a space blanket, the liner reflected and retained body heat that would otherwise ostensibly be escaping into the Replica Tag Heuer wj1117.ba0575 New Link Quartz Watch ether. (Castelli purports that 80 percent of the bodys heat is reflected back with the aluminum-based liner.)To keep the jacket breathable, Castelli () perforates the metalized film and laminates it to a woven substrate. The final product, in the test size large, is a crinkly wisp that weighs 3.9 ounces on my scale.
