Castelli Gabba Short Sleeve Black - Team Sportissimo

The fifth generation of the Gabba, from the creators of the Gabba

In 2010, a jersey was introduced that revolutionized the way cyclists ride in the rain and cold, changing the approach to clothing for cool-weather rides. Even today, it remains a benchmark, not only for professionals but for all cyclists seeking comfort and protection.

This jersey is ideal for mid-season conditions: it keeps the core warm and dry without causing overheating, offering the perfect balance between insulation and breathability.

Now in its fifth generation, further refined: this version is virtually waterproof, without sacrificing the breathability and wind protection that made it so popular. The construction uses two different GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics: a warmer, fully waterproof one on the front, shoulders, and sleeves; and a lighter, stretchier one on the back, designed to enhance breathability and protect from road spray.

Among the most notable updates are the YKK® Vislon® zipper with dual opening, allowing better ventilation control, a more visible rear reflective panel, a redesigned shoulder construction for improved comfort and fit, and three larger rear pockets.

For optimal use, we recommend wearing it over a sleeveless base layer and a short-sleeve jersey. Depending on conditions, it can be paired with thermal arm warmers for colder and wetter days or light arm warmers for milder conditions.

An essential garment for riding in autumn and spring.
