Castelli Perfetto Light 2 Bike Jacket Yellow 2018

You’ll use it more than you can imagine

It was the professionals who first asked for a Gabba that’s not as hot as the Gabba but warmer than the Fawesome Vest. So we began with the time tested Gabba and made the back in Nano Light fabric - the same fabric as our Nano Flex tights but without the brushed fleece inside. This gives the piece a lot of breathability and keeps you from overheating inside. We further lightened it up by using a lighter weight of Windstopper® (a full 25% lighter than the one used on the Gabba) on the front.

You may initially think that this is filling a particularly small niche. But just give it a go. It will cover most of the conditions of the Gabba (except wet racing and very cold), yet it handles warmer temperatures better. And the fit is incredible, which is one more reason you’ll keep reaching for it. The consensus of our Castelli test crew is that this piece doesn’t fully replace the Gabba or Fawesome, but it’s another arrow in your quiver that is ideally suited to cool temperatures, especially when it’s dry or there’s a risk of light rain.
