Capo Super Corsa Compatto DWR Wind Jacket Info

The Capo Super Corsa Compatto DWR Wind Jacket is an ultra-lightweight, windproof and water-resistant cycling jacket made in Italy. Capo designed it as a transition garment for year-round use, the kind of layer you carry on every ride and put on when the temperature drops or the wind picks up. It comes in black in sizes XS through XXL.

The jacket is cut from Compatto DWR fabric, an Italian-made material with a durable water-repellent finish. Capo says the updated version of the fabric is PFAS free. A DWR finish makes water bead and roll off the surface, so the jacket suits light moisture and spray. It is a repellent finish rather than a waterproof membrane, so this is a wind layer, not a rain jacket. It is also not insulated, so on properly cold days you will want a base layer under it.

Fit and packability

Capo gives the jacket an anatomic pattern with articulated arms and a shaped waist, cut for the riding position instead of a standing one. A waist elastic keeps the hem from riding up on the bike. The rear security pocket doubles as a reversible zippered pouch, so the jacket packs into itself and stows easily in a jersey pocket or saddle bag. The 4mm zipper has a lockable slider.

Visibility

Reflective inserts and a reflective heat-transfer logo on the back add visibility on early-morning and low-light rides.

The Compatto Wind Jacket is for road riders who want a light layer for cool starts, windy descents and changeable spring and autumn weather, with a small enough pack size to leave it in the pocket until it is needed.

The RA Perspective

A jacket like this earns its place by being easy to carry. The Compatto is built to pack into its own rear pocket, so it can ride in a jersey pocket until the temperature drops or a descent gets cold, and that is where it makes sense for most riders.

Know what it is. The DWR finish handles light moisture and spray, but this is a wind layer rather than a rain jacket, and it has no insulation. On a properly cold day you will want a base layer under it. If you need something for sustained rain, Capo makes a separate Super Corsa Compatto Rain Jacket in the same pattern.

On fit, Capo cuts it with articulated arms and a shaped waist for the riding position, and the waist elastic is there to keep the hem from riding up. It comes in XS through XXL in black only, so if you are between sizes, ask us before you order.

We would reach for it on spring and autumn rides that start cool and warm up, and on any ride where the forecast leaves you unsure.
