The Cyclist

Beware of Cycopath!

The Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad protects your skin while providing just the right level of padding for maximum comfort, no matter how long your epic ride is.

A decade after Castelli launched the Gabba project that changed the way pros race and train in wet conditions, the fall/winter ’19 collection marked the next big leap in innovation and evolution with the fourth generation of the Gabba. We improved the water resistance, which meant developing a new, exclusive Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper fabric. We made the front-facing fabric warmer with a light brushing, and the rear-facing fabrics lighter and more water repellent than the previous Gabba. We made the Gabba RoS better in the rain through seam sealing on the shoulders and a covered zipper. Based on Team Ineos testing, we determined that it’s better to have two pockets that are easier to access with gloved hands.

We were all pretty surprised at how excited the riders were about this new weird piece of equipment. It was stealth black, short-sleeved and aero, and when the riders came to the first race everybody was looking at them, with nobody saying anything but probably thinking, What is this? What is this? Every rider immediately recognized that this was a game changer for racing in cold and wet weather. It was a revolution.
