The Buy A Gabba Instead Thread

Anyone got a perfetto? Are they much different to a gabba in terms of weight? I've got one of the first generation gabbas and if the sun comes out between 'foul' weather, it's the hottest thing in the world

I've got a perfetto. Only worn it once on a clubrun in August. The forecast mixed showers turned into overcast with sunny spells. So I can't comment on the waterproofing, but would assume it's as good as the gabba (also have). I didn't overheat though, and only needed to unzip it a bit, which definitely wouldn't have been the case with the gabba. So I'm happy with it.

I'm a size Small in all Rapha gear which fits perfectly - what size Gabba should I get? Reviews say to size up but can't really trust the fat MAMILs. I'm looking to get the Gabba 2 Convertible in Blue. Thanks

I'm 177cm, 70kg and 38inch chest and wear a small which is tight but nice.

Or just go to a shop and try it on.

I'm a small in Rapha and Castelli so I'd advise against sizing up. It will be tight but that's as it should be. If I'd got a medium the shoulders would have been too big with the pockets and ass-flap hanging over the saddle...

I'm small in rapha, small in castelli

As @MitzEclipse rightlfuly points out, the sizing up advice is more for portly Mercedes driving bankers and whatnot

I tried to do this but they all had security wires through them in Evans. Oh well, £90 pounds that they won't be getting just yet. Also, why does the price of Gabbas keep fluctuating at the moment? Seem to be £140 one week, then £90 the next, and then back up to £140 the week after! Currently £91 quid for the SS version on Wiggle...must resist.

I gotta gabba 2, size small, for sale here ----> https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/288633

Buy it, try it, return it if necessary

So the Gabba is now named the Perfetto?!?

Parentini Mossa looks interesting: "make your sweat work for you"...

I think the perfetto is a thinner more summer suited gabba. Gabba is still gabba.

any good gabba deals about atm? looking for a large

The arse flap on my Gabba never stays around my arse.

£70 in a couple of colours at Wiggle.

Anyone tried the summer version (Imprevisto)? Only £40.

£68 all colours at Mantel.

I got one of these recently, it's a gabba with Sidi branding.

Better how?

says rapha on it ..

No good if you can't see it!

The price: is there a sale or something or permanently reduced?

Its the V1 shadow currently in sale, decent price IMO.

Gabba short sleeve currenty £87 at sigma - decent range of colours and sizes. Good deal?

I'm tempted but not sure on sizing.

I'm 6'3", 88kg. I don't like things to be too tight. Size guide says xl but I think that's going to be small on me. I've got an xxl sportful jersey and that's in no way too large.

Anyone similar size to me that's bought one?

thanks..

Ordered XL and XXL, and now can't decide which one to send back. XL is "race fit" by my nodder standards. It's a bit tight across the shoulders. The XXL has a little bit of room in it.
