Gabba Jacket, The Story Of An Icon!

The Gabba – The professional’s foul-weather friend. In 2010, Castelli introduced the Gabba to the pros and changed the way pros race in wet and cold conditions. A real game-changer compared to traditional flapping rain jackets, it is safe to say that it became the most iconic and most well-known piece of kit in cycling.For many years, it was an exclusive lifesaver for Castelli riders (and pros who bought one to black out logos), copied by several brands but never as trusted as Castelli’s original, which has been improved several times in the past few years.The Gabba RoS Jacket exemplifies everything we do at Castelli. We're always looking for innovative ways to make cycling more fun, more comfortable, and, most importantly, faster, regardless of what Mother Nature throws at you.This is the story of how everything began, together with a focus group of riders from the Cervélo TestTeam in 2009.TOPICS COVERED:(00:00) Welcome(02:02) Gabba Story (04:40) How it all began(06:48) Prototype Testing (09:06) First Race, Game-Changer(09:34) Gabba Name (11:41) The Day Everything Changed(12:58) Evolution, Refinement, Innovation(15:05) Gabba RoS 2 (16:12) Innovation, part of Castelli’s DNA (17:14) Rider Feedback(18:36) EndingSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONIf you want your questions to be answered on air, be sure to submit your questions by sending us a message on social media or by email to ⁠[email protected]⁠IMPORTANT LINKS:⁠www.castelli-cycling.com⁠Follow us on social:⁠Instagram⁠⁠Instagram Triathlon⁠⁠Facebook⁠We're also on ⁠STRAVA⁠ Hosted on Acast.
