Castelli Gabba W Longsleeve

The Castelli Gabba is now also available for ladies! The Gabba W is an aerodynamic, breathable jacket with long sleeves that protect you from wind and rain. The jacket features the Windstopper X-Lite Plus fabric and a water-repellent finish. The vents that can be zipped open in the sides give a little extra air and ventilation when needed. All improvements to the Gabba can be found in this ladies jacket. In order to make this jacket better waterproof, the number of seams is limited.

The Gabba W is unparallelled for training or competitions in cold conditions which also include rain. The water-repellent finish keeps you dry for much longer than a conventional jacket, while the good breathability ensures you dry up much quicker after a shower.

How it all began: This jersey is made after an idea by Gabriel Rasch, who was riding for the Cervelo test team. He wanted a stretchy, snug fitting cycling jersey for cold, rainy conditions with a short sleeve, to combine with the water repellent Nanoflex arm warmers. Castelli took this idea and started working on it. It's result called the Gabba after Rash it's nickname. This jersey is a direct result of the collaboration of Castelli into professional cycling!
