Castelli Gabba R Short Sleeve Jacket: The All-Weather RevolutionExperience the next evolution in cycling apparel with the Castelli Gabba R Short Sleeve Jacket. Building on the legendary Gabba legacy, this piece redefines what a cycling jacket can be, offering unparalleled protection and performance for dedicated cyclists, both men and women. It´s not just an update, it´s a complete reimagining of all-weather comfort, designed for those who refuse to let the forecast dictate their ride.Unprecedented Waterproof and Windproof ProtectionThe Gabba R represents a paradigm shift in weather protection. At its core is a revolutionary external membrane technology, a Castelli exclusive that acts as an impenetrable barrier against wind and rain. Unlike conventional jackets that rely on coatings that can wear off or fabrics that saturate, the Gabba R's surface sheds water instantly. Rain simply beads up and rolls off, ensuring the jacket remains incredibly lightweight and you stay completely dry, even in a sustained downpour. This fully windproof and waterproof construction allows you to power through harsh conditions with absolute confidence.Exceptional Breathability and Unmatched StretchProtection from the elements means nothing if you overheat from the inside. The Gabba R excels where others fail, thanks to its advanced microporous membrane. While it locks out moisture from the outside, it actively allows sweat vapor to escape, preventing that dreaded clammy, boil-in-the-bag feeling. This supreme breathability keeps your microclimate perfectly regulated during intense efforts. Furthermore, the synthetic fabric offers phenomenal, multi-directional stretch, moving with your body like a second skin. This race-ready, anatomical fit eliminates fabric flapping in the wind, enhances aerodynamics, and provides total freedom of movement, whether you´re climbing, sprinting, or settling in for a long day in the saddle.Engineered for the RideEvery detail of the Gabba R is thoughtfully engineered for the cyclist. A high-quality, fully waterproof YKK® Vislon® zipper provides a final seal against the elements while being easy to operate on the move. For practicality, three rear mesh pockets are designed to drain water quickly, preventing them from filling up during a downpour. A dropped tail extends coverage to protect you from road spray, while strategically placed reflective accents enhance your visibility to others in low-light conditions. In a commitment to sustainability, the entire jacket is produced without the use of PFAS chemicals. Lightweight, protective, and incredibly comfortable, the Castelli Gabba R isn´t just a jacket—it´s your ultimate advantage against the weather.Attributes: Men, Reflective accents, Stretch, Synthetic, Waterproof, Windproof, WomenTechnical SpecificationsPRODUCT FEATURES:Castelli exclusive fabric with a microporous electro-spun hydrophilic polyurethane membrane.The external membrane keeps it light and breathable while avoiding an external textile layer that holds moisture next to the membrane.The fabric weighs just 125gr /m2 and stretches to at least double the original dimension in each direction.The inner fabric backer is 78% polyester / 22% elastane to maintain the extreme stretch while enhancing breathability.The polyurethane membrane has been formulated to be more hydrophobic than standard polyurethane.YKK® Vislon® waterproof zipper 3 rear mesh pockets for drainage.Drop tail with reflective stripe.The membrane and entire fabrics are.PFAS-free
