Castelli announces new Gabba Pro jacket – but it’s only for men
The winter line-up includes three re-imagined jackets, but only the 'everyday rider' model comes in a female-specific fit
Castelli has unveiled its latest iteration of the popular Castelli Gabba jacket, titled Gabba Pro, but the press release revealed the new model is exclusively designed for men. The Gabba Pro incorporates Castelli's 'AirCore' technology, which was developed in collaboration with Polartec, to create a lightweight, waterproof and breathable jacket.
This advancement was necessitated by a ban on PFAS-based chemicals, commonly used in the original Gabba. The Gabba Pro offers a close-to-body race fit with short sleeves that can be paired with arm warmers when needed. It is designed for wet-weather racing and is available exclusively online. Meanwhile, Castelli's Perfetto 4 and Perfetto Pro jackets have been released in both men's and women's fits, catering to everyday riders and cooler conditions respectively.
