Castelli Do.Di.Ci. Short Sleeve Jacket

The long-sleeve Gabba jacket for racing in the rain, invented by Castelli, was immediately appreciated even by those looking for a jacket for fast rides in autumn or spring, when it’s still necessary to retain body heat but traditional jackets are too heavy.
Gabba was created for racing in the rain, and today the Gabba R does it even better.
But if, like most cyclists, you use the Gabba mainly in dry conditions, DO.DI.CI. is the jacket for you.
Gabba was designed to race in the rain, so priority was given to water protection rather than breathability.
If that’s not your case, we can offer you a more breathable jacket, ideal for dry days.

The secret lies in Castelli’s Ristretto technology.
The term “engineered air impermeability” refers to fabrics that are mostly windproof but allow a very small amount of air to pass through—just enough to remove more sweat and keep you drier.
But how much air? DO.DI.CI., like the number 12, because this jacket offers 12 times the air permeability of the previous Gabba.
It’s the same difference as hanging your shorts in a cold, damp room versus letting them dry in a light breeze.

The fabric is extremely stretchy, offering an unbeatable fit.

And when it rains? The fabric won’t block much road spray, but you can store an Ultra W Rain Cape or a Squall Shell W Jacket in the center pocket if you expect rain during your ride.
