The Gabba is a great bit of kit, definitely does the job of wind blocking and resisting rain but for cold I might be looking closer at the Mortirolo jacket. In any case give bobshop.de a goggle - one of the few places I've seen the convertible Gabba for sale and the price is decent.

I have lots of castelli kit and find chainreaction hard to beat on price when you factor in postage etc. try the garmin pro team shop as well. Www.slipstreamsports.com. I got a wind stopper jersey from them and it was free postage.

Well took the leap today and bought a Gabba Jersey with some nanoflex knee warmers and arm warmers thanks for your help Guys wanted to get the convertible jersey but none available in my size. So short sleeves it is.

I went to wiggle i found it hard to get my size small around i know it was a little be extra but i also wanted it for the weekend to race in. So paid the bit extra for quick delivery.

There seems to be a misconception going round (probably fuelled by Castelli)that the Gabba is some sort of super warm jersey. It's not. I have one, and its suitable for a cool, wet spring/autumn day, but its not a warm jersey in itself. It's windproof and shower proof, but I'd say a standard thermal/roubaix winter jersey would be a lot warmer for racing in in the kind of weather we're having now.

I googled "Gabba jersey". How do I put into words the sound of a sharp intake of breath?

I think i have gathered that from most people i spoke to im using it more as an outer layer for over my jersey and base layer.

Gabba jerseys are there to be worn over your jersey instead of big bulky gore tex items that other manufacturers make.
