Castelli Gabba RoS 2 Short Sleeve Jersey in Red Orange/Grey

Castelli Gabba RoS 2 Short Sleeve Jersey in Red Orange/GreyThe Castelli Gabba RoS 2 short sleeve jersey is the fifth iteration of the legendary weatherproof jersey jacket. It debuted in 2010 and caused a sensation in 2013, when the Pro peloton bought gabbas with their own money prior to a stormy Milan San Remo. This break from protocol came about because the Pro riders recognised that this fully windproof and highly water resistant garment would offer a performance advantage when racing in stormy conditions.

The Castelli Gabba RoS 2 short sleeve jersey is the fifth iteration of the legendary weatherproof jersey/jacket.It debuted in 2010 and caused a sensation in 2013, when the Pro peloton bought gabbas with their own money prior to a stormy Milan-San Remo.This break from protocol came about because the Pro riders recognised that this fully windproof and highly water-resistant garment would offer a performance advantage when racing in stormy conditions. Since that fateful spring classic, the Gabba has become a peloton staple, whether for foul weather racing or winter training, and although much imitated has never yet been bettered.Except by castelli themselves, that is. This second version is more water-resistant than ever, thanks to the use of two different Gore-tex Infinium™ Windstopper® fabrics. At the front is a brushed material with a water treatment, while at the back the fabric is stretchy and breathable, so that the jacket fends off rain and fights sweat build-up with equal skill.This new Gabba RoS has further been improved by an extra pocket for added storage space, better reflectivity at the back, a two-way zip for better temperature control, and rethought placement of the taped shoulder seams for better rain protection.For over a decade now the Gabba has been keeping professional and amateur cyclists warm, without allowing them to overheat, while foul weather racing or training in spring and autumn. Typically worn over a sleeveless base layer and jersey, its usefulness can be extended by pairing it with arm warmers and a thermal jersey as the cold starts to bite.Wear the unmistakable Castelli Gabba RoS 2 not only to keep your core warm, but to proclaim your allegiance to the world of cycling.Features:The 5th edition of the legendary Gabba, the Pros' favouriteRain or shine categorisation indicates wet weather protection is paired with breathabilityNow more water resistant thanks to brushed Gore-tex Infinium™ Windstopper® 205 fabric at the front, exclusive to CastelliLight, stretchy and breathable Gore-tex Infinium™ Windstopper® 203 at the backTaped seams now set further back on the shoulder for improved rain protectionCovered, smooth-running YKK® Vislon® zipper opens from the top or bottom3 roomy rear pockets, with a reflective panel at the bottomWeighs 245g (large size)For use at temperatures from 9-16C, 48-61F
