Castelli Gavia Cycling Jacket – SS23

The Castelli Gavia Jacket is for those days when having the most effective barrier against the rain and cold is the top priority. If you’ve never had a jacket like this, you’ve never experienced going out because you must and then having one of the most epic days ever.

For the Gavia, Castelli has chosen a 3-layer mid-weight GORE-TEX® fabric for the main body and sleeves. The slight weight penalty of the fabric over more race orientated fabrics repays itself by providing greater durability and complete protection from the wind and rain. The cut is slightly more generous than race kit too for riding in conditions when comfort is essential.

Stretch GORE-TEX® in the shoulders and wrists make for easy on and off and greater freedom of movement than other shell jackets so you can get into a more aggressive position when the riding demands it. Stretch side panels also help improve fit and mean loaded jersey pockets can be accommodated under the jacket.

Even though it is for the most extreme conditions, the Gavia can still fold up small to fit into a jersey pocket, or more likely a frame bag, as this jacket is just the thing for multi-day adventures.

Please note our shell jackets are designed to fit over summer clothing only, if you wish to purchase a waterproof jacket for use over winter clothing please size up. Otherwise, select your Castelli jacket in the same size as you would select a jersey.
