Introducing the Gabba R
The sixth generation
The sixth generation of the Gabba takes Foul Weather Race Protection to a new level.
A brand-new exclusive fabric technology makes the Gabba R functionally waterproof and highly breathable, while the close-to-body fit makes it the most aero jacket we’ve ever tested. By far.
Whether your goal is to cross the finish line first or to remain warm, dry, and comfortable, the game has changed.
GABBA FAMILY
Let’s conclude with the Gabba & Perfetto family, jackets that have made the brand's history and that surely should not be missing in your cycling wardrobe. These are probably our most versatile garments.

AERODYNAMICS
Through two separate wind tunnel tests, augmented with tests on the road, we’ve seen that in some positions and speeds the Gabba R will actually be faster than a Sanremo BTW Speed Suit as used by the Soudal Quick-Step team.
In a “normal” road position, the Gabba R tests about 1% faster at speeds from 37 to 50 km/h, while in an extremely aggressive low position, the Gabba R is merely about 1% slower than the Sanremo BTW suit.
Rain protection
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.
THE FIT
Designed for WorldTour racing, the Gabba R features 100% stretch in every direction. Its close-to-body fit optimizes aerodynamics while maintaining comfort. In our testing, we’ve found that the close-to-body fit has the advantage that whatever moisture is formed inside the jacket during intense efforts tends to stay warmer since it’s held close to the body, causing less chill from moisture than what we experience with other jackets.
