The short-sleeve Gabba jacket for riding in the rain, invented by Castelli, was immediately appreciated even by those looking for a jacket for fast autumn or spring outings, when it's still necessary to retain body heat but traditional jackets are too heavy.

Gabba was created for riding in the rain, and today the Gabba R does it even better. But, if like most cyclists, you also use Gabba mainly in dry conditions, DO.DI.CI. is the jacket for you. Gabba was created for riding in the rain, so the priority was given to water protection, rather than breathability. If this is not your case, we can offer you a more breathable jacket, ideal for dry days.

The secret lies entirely in Castelli's Ristretto technology. The term "engineered air impermeability" indicates mostly windproof fabrics, but which allow a very small amount of air to pass through to remove more sweat and keep you drier. But how much air? DO.DI.CI., like the number 12, because this jacket offers air permeability 12 times greater than the old Gabba. It's the same difference between hanging your shorts in a cold, damp room and laying them out in the breath of a light breeze.

The fabric is extremely elastic, for an unbeatable fit. And when it rains? The fabric doesn't hold onto road spray much, but you can store an Ultra Rain Cape or a Squall Shell Jacket in the center pocket if you think it might rain during your ride. Available in short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions.
