THE ICONIC GABBA
The Gabba changed the game for pro cyclists when was used for the first time in an official race in 2010 and continues to revolutionize cool-weather cycling. Its rise to icon status happened in 2013 during a snowy and rainy edition of Milano-Sanremo, where riders from all teams wore it in front of a big audience. As a consequence pro riders started wearing the Gabba blackening the logo, and many other brands have attempted to replicate its innovative design and unmatched breathability, without success.
Now, it is still the top choice for pro and non-pro riders in wet conditions.
Ideal for autumn and spring riding, in both wet and dry conditions, the Gabba RoS 2 is the original short-sleeve jacket that started an entire new product class. Breathable, fully windproof and water-resistant, it allows you to keep your core warm without overheating. You can wear it over a base layer and short-sleeve jersey, and pair with arm warmers for ultimate comfort.
THE IRREPLACEABLE PERFETTO
The Perfetto RoS 2 Jacket is a versatile jacket that excels in a variety of conditions. It is essentially a long-sleeve version of the Gabba RoS 2 and covers a wider range of conditions. The RoS insignia signifies that it excels in dry conditions thanks to the high breathability, as well as in wet conditions thanks to the Castelli-exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® fabrics.
It features a fleece-lined water-resistant fabric on the front and a more breathable, water-repellent material on the back. The Perfetto RoS 2 provides wind protection while being more breathable than other jackets with polyurethane membranes. The latest version has a YKK® Vislon® zipper with top and bottom openings for ventilation, improved reflectivity, a relocated seam at the top of the shoulder, and larger pockets.
With a performance fit and slightly more room in the chest, shoulder, and biceps, the Perfetto RoS 2 is a must-have for every cyclist.
GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®
HOW IT WORKS
Stops the wind. Stays breathable.
Created using an ultra-thin protective layer laminated to a lightweight textile, GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® products are totally windproof. Although textiles such as microfibers, closely woven fabrics and many fleece materials are often termed windproof, even light winds can penetrate most of these fabrics, making you feel chilled and uncomfortable. By Gore’s standards, a fabric can only be considered truly windproof if its air permeability is 1.0 cfm (< 5 l/m2/s) or less. It’s a standard that GORE-TEX products easily meet.
The membrane technology in GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® products has billions of pores that are 900 times larger than water vapor molecules, so even though wind can’t get in, moisture from sweat vapor can easily get out.
In addition to the GORE® membrane technology, a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment is applied to our jackets. That means less water accumulation, resulting in less wind chill, and less extra weight.
