After years of development, we have finally achieved a high-stretch, functionally waterproof, and highly breathable fabric that enables us to craft the ultimate race jacket — with the fit and aerodynamics of a speedsuit and the water protection of a rain cape. We proudly introduce the Gabba R. The “R” stands for Race.

Since the inception of the original Gabba, the primary focus has been on keeping cyclists comfortable, warm, and fast while riding and racing, even in inclement weather. However, the new Gabba R takes this to another level by being “functionally waterproof,” meaning it effectively keeps you dry from the outside. Let’s delve deeper into this. The fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of over 5,000 mm. While this may seem low compared to certain outdoor brands that strive to prevent any moisture ingress even under the pressure of a backpack or sitting on a wet surface, it is more than sufficient to repel even driving rain. Increasing waterproofness often comes at the expense of breathability, but in our testing, we’ve found that a rating of 5,000 mm strikes the right balance.
