The Castelli Gabba is the original short - sleeve cycling jacket that kick - started a whole new product category. It's a water - resistant gem, equally great for dry days. Designed to be paired with our Nano Flex arm warmers, it keeps your core warm without making you overheat. In 2010, Castelli introduced the Gabba to professional cyclists, revolutionizing how they race in rain and cold and dress for cool - weather training. It's also a perfect choice for non - pro cyclists, keeping you warm and dry without getting too hot. The latest fifth - generation Gabba is essentially waterproof while maintaining excellent breathability and wind protection. It uses two Castelli - exclusive GORE - TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics: a warmer and 100% waterproof one on the front, shoulders, and sleeves, and a lighter, more breathable, and stretchier fabric on the back to protect from water hitting your back. The '2' in the name indicates updates like a YKK® Vislon® zipper with top and bottom openings for adjustable ventilation. The back reflectivity is more visible, the shoulder seam is moved to the back, and the three rear pockets can hold more gear. Usually, you can layer it over a sleeveless base layer and short - sleeve jersey. Pair it with Nano Flex arm warmers in cooler and wet conditions or Seamless warmers in milder weather. The Gabba RoS 2 is a must - have for autumn and spring rides. Product features include being the 5th generation, more water - resistant than ever, using special fabrics on front and rear, taped shoulder seams, a dual - opening zipper, three rear pockets, and a reflective panel at the bottom of pockets. Technical features show good insulation, waterproofness, windproofness, breathability, and a decent lightness. It weighs 341gm and is suitable for temperatures between 9°C - 16°C / 48°F - 61°F with a performance fit.
How to use: Layer the Gabba RoS 2 over a sleeveless base layer and a short - sleeve jersey. For cooler and wet conditions, pair it with Nano Flex arm warmers. In milder weather, use Seamless warmers. Adjust the ventilation by using the top and bottom openings of the YKK® Vislon® zipper. The three rear pockets are great for storing small items like energy bars or a phone. Note: Avoid sharp objects that could damage the fabric. When wearing, make sure the reflective panel at the bottom of the pockets is visible for safety. Maintenance: Follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, it's best to machine - wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang it to dry to maintain its shape and performance.
