On the coldest of long trail riding days, I can turn to my Castle Charge G2 jacket to keep me from freezing up. It offers a double dose of some of the best insulation technology with 3M Thinsulate Platinum Insulation in the shell and 3M Thinsulate Extra Warmth Insulation in the removable liner.
The shell is so warm, most days I ride liner-free. But on days when it might be too frigid for some to hit the snow, you’ll be set if you’re in the Charge G2!
This jacket also boasts generous storage with internal and external zippered pockets. Phones, wallets, cameras, etc., have a secure spot in this jacket, and the location of the pockets doesn’t let stored items hinder you by jabbing your ribs.
I’m also a big fan of the magnetic front placket that covers the zipper. It keeps the snow away and eliminates the wind sneaking through to the inside. If you ride in cold conditions, this jacket deserves a place in your gear closet! Cost is $269.99.
