Castelli Gabba Ws Rain Jersey

Product Description

This is why we race... This jersey is textbook product innovation at Castelli: it started with a focus group with Cervelo Test Team riders in August 2009 focusing on improving clothing for cold & wet conditions. Cervelo Test Team rider Gabriel Rasch came up with the idea of a stretch short sleeve rain jersey to be used with our Nano Flex water resistant arm warmers. Great idea but excisting fabrics where either not stretchy enough or not breathable enough so we worked with Gore & developed a new 4-way stretch Windstopper X-Lite Plus waterproof fabric. We made the jersey for the Cervelo test team in March 2010 while Gore readied the fabric for commercialization. The Cervelo Test Team help us perfect the details on what Roger Hammond calls the best piece of kit he has ever worn. Now available for your next cold wet race. Oh & just in case your wondering Gabba is Gabriel Raschs nickname. With the futuristic & miraculous Gabba WS Rain Jersey we have been able to make race-wear that’s fully protective very stretchy & yet so breathable that you can keep the entire thing closed up without overheating. By adding this short-sleeve aero Gabba jersey over the the Aero Race jersey the Garmin-Cervélo riders will be able to race in the rain fully protected & nearly as aero as their normal dry weather race kit. It’s made possible thanks to a revolutionary new 4-way stretch Windstopper X-Lite Plus fabric being developed by Castelli & GORE W.L. How it all began
