Better than the Gabba? The Perfetto Light Jersey

PERFETTO LIGHT SHORT SLEEVE JERSEY: PRO-REQUESTED PERFECTION There’s no denying that the Gabba short-sleeve jersey has been a game changer in pro cycling. Most of the peloton pulls it out whenever the weather is cold or wet. But sometimes the Gabba is too much. The Gabba’s allover protection can make it feel too warm for racing in merely cool conditions, so some of the Cannondale Pro Cycling Team riders asked for protection like the Gabba but with more breathability for milder temperatures. Enter the versatile Perfetto Light. It’s a lightweight, more breathable option with the same weather-resistant qualities and aerodynamic fit that helped the Gabba conquer the cycling world. It has the same cut as the Gabba and combines a lightweight windproof and water-resistant Windstopper® 150 material on the front, shoulders and sleeves (25% lighter than the fabric used on the Gabba) with a water-resistant Nano Light Pro on the back (an unbrushed version of the Nano Flex fabric, which is highly water repellent and stretchy but has no membrane to inhibit air exchange). The fabric is very tightly knit so you don’t feel the wind coming through, but it is open enough to prevent the moisture buildup that you can experience with ...

Better than the Gabba? The Perfetto Jersey has been launched.

The Gabba jersey have grabbed the headlines and forged a well-earned reputation for its cold and wet weather properties in recent years, the lightweight version (25 percent lighter, and with more breathability for milder conditions) of the Gabba jersey was launched at Eurobike. This article was originally published by RoadcyclingUK The Gabba might have grabbed the headlines over the past few years, but Castelli have an impressive range of other jackets to cater for every meteorological scenario. The Perfetto was one of two wet weather pieces launched at the Eurobike show along with the Tempesta waterproof rain jacket. First, the Perfetto, which is essentially a Gabba-lite. Whereas the full-blown Gabba, which combines a windproof, water resistant and breathable fabric with a race-ready, aero cut, is designed for cool to cold conditions, the Perfetto is designed for when it’s still damp, but the temperature is a little milder. The Castelli Perfetto is essentially a lightweight version of the Gabba With lower weight comes claims of improved breathability, while the jersey is also more compact and Castelli say it can be stowed in a pocket if, say, you were to wear it over a typical, lightweight short sleeve jersey. Pair the Perfetto with Castelli’s excellent water resistant Nanoflex arm warmers and you should have ...

Castelli highlights at Eurobike 2015

Want to find out about the new amazing gear from Castelli? Here’s a rundown by Chris Selden of PEZcyclingnews.com with product news and scenes from the Eurobike show last week, the global cycling industry’s biggest trade show. Castelli have been the masters of wet weather gear for a number of years now with the renowned Gabba jersey and for 2016 they have added a new Gabba model for milder days, the Perfetto Light Short Sleeve. With better breathability, lighter and more easily packable into a jersey pocket when removed but still having great weather protection this is one jersey that is certainly going to be a big hit amongst pros and amateurs alike. Still on the bad weather theme Castelli have introduced a very classy new jacket, the Tempesta Race Jacket. Cut in a similar style to the Gabba this jacket sits very close to the skin and is much more aerodynamic than a standard rainjacket and has been successfully used by the guys at MTN-Qhubeka and Cannondale-Garmin this season. Combined with the Tempesta jacket are some overshorts which are a totally new concept in cycling. Similar to overpants used in motorcycle circles these are designed to go over the top of your bibshorts ...
