Castelli Gabba R

The next generation of clothing for racing in bad weather has arrived. The Gabba R long sleeve jacket is the most protective and aerodynamic yet. The jacket was developed to meet the demands of professional cyclists where every watt counts. It proved to be our fastest jacket in the tests we conducted in the wind tunnel, so you know you're not sacrificing speed to stay dry. The waterproof fabric fits close to the body without restricting movement. The sleeves are designed to fit gloves without putting strain on the wrist. We've included three rear mesh pockets to store what you might need, but the mesh ensures the pockets won't fill with water and weigh you down. The extended fabric on the back of the jacket provides extra protection from road spray, and we've added a reflective strip to increase visibility. Once again, we've raised the bar for what competition clothing should be in bad weather.
