    It seems as if the Castelli Gabba 2 is discontinued and so it is proving hard to find my size. Does anyone know if a 3 is coming out, or is there been a Jersey that is able to compete the Gabba

    If your struggling to get the Gabba2 jacket, try the Lusso Aqua repel jacket which beat it in test, for £40 less.

    Thanks, Jack. Was looking at one of these and got a little confused about the fit, but at 6’1″, 15+ stone, anything but the XL would be overthinking it.

    Having said that, Just checked Castelli Cafe and all of the Gabba 2’s are in stock. FTIW, I’ve found that the Gabba 2 material in my LS is stretcher than the old material in my SS, so if you’re generally a Large go for a Large, the new one is less tght fitting than the Alpha too. 

     

    I cant see many of the Gabba 2 long sleave on the Castelli Cafe, unless I am missing something, ceratinly nothing large

    Supposedly one of the upgrades in v.2 was a tweak to fit. I can only surmise that that was a slight relaxation.

    I was given a large Castelli Jersey as a present last year – I couldn’t get close to fitting into it. The Gabba in L was very nearly wearable.

    Just tried on the large. It fitted…

    Badly. It gave me moobs I didn’t know I had. The super stretchiness did nothing for my nipples.

    If I lost a few pounds I’d get into one easily, but since my racing days are long since passed and I’m comfortable being the shape I am, I’ll stick with the xl. Might get the weights out to fill the shoulders better though…

    BTW I’m 180cm/5’11” 90kg/14st 3lbs 41″ Chest and have big legs.

    If my chest was half an inch smaller it would have fitted pretty well, if very closely.

    Neck is about 2 to 3 inches too large in circumference for a nice weather tight fit and the torso is way too long and loose for me…the rear pockets sit right on my arse, I’d prefer them on the small of my back. I fear the L would be almost a perfect fit except for the torso length.

    I guess my search for a suitable type jersey (as I’m short arsed/stocky 160cm/40″ chest) is to be continued.

     

    I’d have taken it off you, but I’ve got a large and an XL on the way from Wiggle. I’m hoping that I can’t get the large zipped up otherwise I may be in a bit of a quandary. Like I said earlier, I may have bought a few Gabbas in the sales recently…

    They are extremely stretchy. I could probably fit into a M based on the fit of the XL, but I’d look like a tomato trying to burst out of it’s skin (probably).

    I have AGU’s (Planet X) wet weather version, in size large, good wind protection, but the water resistance (despite having taped shoulder seams) isn’t what I would consider very good in lightish rain – I know there are limitations in heavy rain – but I would have expected more from this.

    Also the AGU’s pockets appear to be made for children’s proportions/portions…I’m concerned that contents are bound to get lost over rougher ground…

    Wiggle have the short sleeved
    Wiggle have the short sleeved version in most colours in both L & XL.

    Currently £91.00 each.

    I have to admit to having bought a ridiculous number over the last few weeks. So much so that I am seriously considering returning a couple in the name of moral decency.

    Best price I managed was a drive blue for £68.

    I found the sizing a bit strange by Castelli standards. I’m normally an XL in race fit Castelli, but I find the Gabba just a smidge on the relaxed fit side from what I expected.
