FAQ

How does the Alpha RoS 2 compare to the Perfetto RoS?

The Alpha RoS 2 is the lighter, more packable option in the RoS jacket lineup. It prioritizes low weight and compressibility. The Perfetto RoS offers more warmth and a convertible design for variable conditions.

Can the Alpha RoS 2 fit in a jersey pocket?

It packs down significantly smaller than heavier jackets and can fit in a large rear jersey pocket when folded. This makes it a practical option for rides where weather is uncertain.

Is the Alpha RoS 2 warm enough for cold winter rides?

The Alpha RoS 2 is a rain and wind jacket first, not a thermal layer. For cold rides, pair it over a thermal jersey or base layer for warmth. On its own it is best suited for mild, wet conditions.

Best For

Road and gravel cyclists who want a lightweight waterproof jacket they can carry on every ride and deploy quickly when conditions change.
