In 2010 Castelli introduced the Gabba to the pros and changed the way pros race in the rain. And cold. And ride in training. Every other performance cyclist soon saw the need for a Gabba in his or her wardrobe.

There have been some minor updates along the way, but for the fourth-generation Gabba Castelli started with a clean slate to make a significant upgrade. That involved moving it to water resistance, which meant developing a new exclusive GORE-TEX INFINIUM WINDSTOPPER fabric.

The front-facing fabric was made warmer with a light brushing, while the rear-facing fabrics are lighter yet more water repellent than the previous Gabba.

It's also better in the rain through seam sealing on the shoulders and a covered zipper. Based on Team Ineos testing it was decided that it's better to have two pockets that are easier to access with gloved hands, but there is also an internal sleeve to keep your pump or other items from moving around.
