Castelli Gabba RoS Special Edition

The Gabba RoS is for those transition months when the mornings are chilly, maybe some moisture in the air, wind chilling your body, but your ambitions to ride are high because the rides are getting faster in preparation of upcoming races. Castelli offers the Gabba Rain or Shine Special Edition to those cyclists who need a versatile jacket. A jacket that will keep you dry in rainy weather but will be just as comfortable in dry sunny weather. The Gabba is the versatile jacket every racer looks for. There is only one Gabba. The pros race in it, train in it, swear to the versatility of Castelli’s Gabba. Rain or shine! The Gabba keeps you dry in rain while it wicks sweat and allows skin to breath as race pace picks up. The Gabba was the rain jacket that changed the game. Not that long ago in 2009, rain gear was floppy, a big rain tent; it slowed the pros down. Other versions of a rain jacket may have been aero and rainproof, but your skin couldn’t breathe. Castelli changed the traditional rain jackets by finding the right material to provide a water-resistant, short-sleeve jacket that is just as comfortable in dry conditions. Made to be worn with Castelli’s Nano Flex arm warmers, the Gabba keeps your core warm without overheating. This is Castelli’s fourth version of the Gabba RoS. Now more comfortable, more versatile, and sought after by more in the pro-peloton. Finding a balance between warmth in wind, dry in rain, and breathable in fast races, Castelli used GORE-TEX’s newest Infinium fabrics. The GORE-TEX Infinium 205 Warm brushed waterproof fabric on the front-facing surface carves through icy wind and rain showers while still allowing body heat and perspiration to escape. The dropped tail blocks water spewing up from the road. The shoulder seams have been taped adding one more feature guaranteeing protection from moisture. On the rear facing surface, the GORE-TEX Infinium 203 Stretch lightweight synthetic has a huge amount of breathability and stretch. For extra shielding from rain, water rolls off the durable water-repellant finish. The taped shoulder seams and covered zipper are two more features ensuring you stay dry. While protecting from rain and cold wind, the Gabba is still a race jacket. The Gabba is fast. Aerodynamics is not compromised for wind and water protection. The material is stretchy and cut to fit the contours of a cyclist on bike. Providing a comfortable race fit is a feature Castelli engineers have perfected. The skills developed over the 100+ years of designing great fitting race gear has been applied to the Gabba RoS jacket that is a must for the cyclist who needs protection against the elements of the transition months.
