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. Developed to meet the demands of professional cyclists where every watt counts, it proved to be our fastest jacket in wind tunnel tests, ensuring you don't sacrifice speed to stay dry. The waterproof fabric fits close to the body without restricting movement, and the sleeves are designed to accommodate gloves without putting strain on the wrist.

We've included three rear mesh pockets to store essentials, with the mesh ensuring 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 a reflective strip has been added to increase visibility. Once again, we've raised the bar for what competition clothing should be in bad weather.
