Technology and Innovation

In 2010 Castelli introduced the first Gabba, forever changing the way of riding in rain and cold.
The Gabba RoS 2 (Rain or Shine) represents the fifth generation of this iconic garment, now even more waterproof and breathable.

Thanks to the use of two GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ fabrics:

• the front, shoulders, and sleeves offer a total barrier against wind and rain;

• the back ensures elasticity, ventilation, and comfort even during the most intense efforts.

The design has been refined with:

• improved YKK® Vislon® zipper for more precise ventilation;

• larger and better positioned pockets;

• seams shifted to the back to reduce water infiltration.

The result is a jacket/jersey that combines protection, lightness, and performance, becoming a benchmark for cyclists of all levels.

How to wear it

The Gabba RoS 2 is extremely versatile:

• Wear it over a sleeveless base layer and a short-sleeve jersey on cool days.

• Pair it with Nano Flex arm sleeves for extra protection from rain and cold.

• For milder mid-seasons, use Seamless arm warmers for maximum comfort.
