Castelli Gabba R jacket

The next generation of Foul Weather Race Equipment has arrived

The Gabba R Jacket long sleeve is more protective and more aerodynamic than ever before. It's made to keep up with the demands of the pro peloton, where every watt counts. It's tested in the wind tunnel as our fastest jacket, so you know you aren't sacrificing any speed in order to stay dry. The waterproof stretch fabric fits close to the body without inhibiting freedom of movement. The sleeves are tailored to fit with gloves without adding any bulk to the wrist. We've provided three mesh back pockets to store what you might need to access quickly in wet conditions, but the mesh makes sure the pockets can't fill with water and weigh you down. On the drop tail, which provides extra protection from road spray, we've added a reflective stripe for greater visibility. We've again raised the bar for what Foul Weather Race Equipment should be.
