Castelli returns to the Giro

  • Ron 

After a 26-year break, Castelli has returned to the Giro d’Italia and is proud to provide the four leaders’ jerseys for the 101st riding of the Giro.

Castelli’s is proud to release a limited collection that harkens back to a beloved era when first Giro d’Italia winner to wear the Castelli pink jersey was Giovanni Battaglin in 1981, and the last was Spain’s two-time winner Miguel Indurain in 1992.

GABBA 3 – Yes, It’s the Real Gabba

With all the Gabba copies out there, it’s amazing how many pros still buy the real Gabba. This is the third generation of the garment that launched an entirely new category, what some magazines are trying to call the “rain jersey” but the pros just call the Gabba. We’ve slightly tweaked the fit and improved the drop tail and pockets, but otherwise we’ve kept with the winning formula of warmth, breathability and water repellency. The Gabba is the centerpiece of the Perfetto family of foul-weather race equipment products.
