DO.DI.CI woman Castelli

When Castelli invented the short-sleeved Gabba jacket for racing in the rain, the brand also addressed the need for a jacket suited to fast autumn and spring rides, when your body needs warmth but traditional jackets are simply too hot. The Gabba was created for racing in the rain, and the Gabba R now meets that need better than ever. But if you're like most cyclists who wear the Gabba primarily in dry conditions, the DO.DI.CI. is the jacket for you. Because it was designed for racing in the rain, the Gabba offered excellent waterproofing at the expense of breathability. If you don't ride in the rain, then we can offer you superior breathability and a jacket better suited to dry conditions. The secret lies in Castelli's Ristretto technology. Thanks to our advanced air permeability technology, we create fabrics that are primarily windproof but allow a tiny amount of air to pass through, wicking away perspiration and keeping you drier. How much air? We named this jacket DO.DI.CI., which means "twelve" in Italian, because it offers 12 times the air permeability of the previous Gabba. It's like the difference between drying your bib shorts in a cold, damp room versus leaving them out in a light breeze. The fabric is extremely stretchy and ensures an unparalleled fit. And if it rains? The fabric won't protect you from more than a few splashes from the road, but you can slip an Ultra W Rain Cape or a Squall Shell W Jacket into the center pocket if rain is likely.
