FAQs
How waterproof is the jacket?
The Castelli Emergency 2 Rain Jacket has a 10,000mm water column rating, providing a high level of waterproof protection.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Hang to dry.
What is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of Deluge Light 2.5-layer waterproof fabric with a slight stretch for a better fit.
Does the jacket have any reflective elements?
Yes, the jacket features 360° reflectivity for increased visibility in low-light conditions.
Is the jacket breathable?
The jacket prioritizes waterproofness, so breathability is less than in Castelli's top-end rain jackets. It's suitable for moderate activity levels.
Where is the stuff pocket located?
The stuff pocket is integrated into a mesh vent at the top of the back.
What kind of zipper does it have?
It has a waterproof zipper to keep rain out.
What is the temperature range for this jacket?

Troubleshooting
Water leaking through the zipper.
Ensure the zipper is fully closed. Check for any obstructions or debris that might be preventing a proper seal. Consider applying a waterproof zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels less waterproof over time.
Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment to the outer fabric after washing to restore water resistance.
Jacket feels too warm.
The jacket is designed for rain protection and breathability is a compromise. Consider adjusting your base and mid-layers for better temperature regulation. If the weather is mild, consider a lighter rain jacket.
