This is how Alé categorises the Elements in its range: The rain jacket Elements from the "Klimatik" series with a weight of around 160 grams and small pack size fits easily into any jersey pocket. The extended back section is designed to provide reliable protection against splashing water, while the asymmetric cuffs including a flexible flap protect against the ingress of rain and cold draughts. The reflective material is a safety bonus, increasing visibility at dusk or in poor visibility conditions. The jacket combines weather protection with a sporty fit, making it ideal for road and gravel cyclists who want to stay dry and protected in all weathers.

Test summary of the Alé Elements
Conclusion: Although the material rustles audibly, it is comfortable against the skin. Both jackets fit very well when bent over, with a long back and well-fitting collar and sleeves. The Italian brand shows hardly any weaknesses: The material and seams are tight, and rain runs off reliably even after washing. The zip runs smoothly and can be operated with one hand. The sleeve cuffs and high collar offer effective protection; plenty of reflective material provides a certain safety bonus.
