She still thought they were expensive, but they really work as opposed to all the other rain pants I have ever owned including some expensive Gore-Tex ones.
The second one is a winter jacket that I picked up in the Atlanta Performance shop at 70% off. It is a "King Arthur" jacket. WTF does King Arthur have to do with cycling? It is a nice jacket at the price I bought it, but not at full retail.
Both items are very well made and fit me.
No wonder Pcad likes Castelli stuff.
