Our opinion: yet another jacket that stands out from the competition thanks to its high-end design, which will protect cyclists from the most unpredictable winter weather. Water-repellent, windproof and offering excellent thermal protection, this Carena jacket will perform well in all conditions from November to March.
To say it’s a versatile jacket is an understatement. The 2021 Carena builds on the design of its predecessors, constantly improving upon them. Nalini’s ultimate winter jacket now features sophisticated thermal protection and Manto DWR water-repellent technology for remarkable adaptability. A gust of wind and the entire structure of the Xwind fabric and its brushed fleece blocks the wind and cold air to ensure excellent protection for the body. A light rain and the water-repellent and waterproof properties of the Carena come into play to keep the athlete dry. Even in milder weather, the jacket’s overall breathability allows for optimal heat exchange and prevents the build-up of unpleasant and counterproductive moisture.
The three asymmetrical rear pockets are still present and are the hallmark of the Italian brand. These also feature 3D Drain mesh inserts to promote ventilation and wick moisture away internally in the event of rain. The Nalini reflective elements positioned on the front and pockets also provide a subtle contrast to the jacket’s chic and understated blue colour. This distinctive and unique style will allow you to carry everything you need to rack up the hours in the saddle with complete peace of mind and conquer your new training routes.
With a great fit, this jacket remains very lightweight and is designed for those seeking a warm, close-fitting fabric and the best protection against the elements!
