BUYER'S GUIDE
9 of the best wet weather racing jerseys Sept 20209 of the best wet weather racing jerseys - find out how to stay both dry and aero
Choosing what to wear in summer and winter is fairly easy. In summer as little as possible; in winter everything you own. But autumn and spring, those transitional seasons of unpredictable, changeable and often wet weather, are far more challenging. The last few years have seen the development of a new style of jersey that makes deciding what to wear at this time of year far less tricky.
-
These jerseys use lightweight versions of Gore's Windstopper fabric, or similar, to keep out the wet and keep in the heat; you don't stay perfectly dry, but you do stay comfortable
-
The original Castelli Gabba was so popular that pro riders sponsored by other clothing makers used it with the logos covered up
-
Prices start from about £40, though top-quality versions cost rather more
-
If you can find your size (many are in short supply) it's a good time to buy as retailers seem to have forgotten it often rains in Autumn and dropped prices

Ever since a particularly cold and snowy edition of Milan-San Remo in 2013, Castelli’s Gabba jacket has become the de facto choice for cyclists wanting a top layer that can cope with unpredictable weather, the sort that is common through the spring. While ideal for the changeable conditions of spring, the Gabba, and its many imitators, is ideal for winter and autumn too, making it a very good three-season jersey.
>Read more: Design classic — Castelli Gabba
Defined by its figure-hugging fit (because it’s designed for racers who don’t want the bulk of a traditional hardshell waterproof jacket) with a windproof and water-resistant Gore Windstopper fabric, the Gabba paved the way for a new breed of cycling jersey that could cope with a wide range of conditions, keeping you protected from the rain and insulated against the cold, but breathable enough to cope when the temperature rises.
The Gabba was created when professional racer Gabriel Rasch had the idea for a waterproof racing jersey that could be paired with Castelli’s Nanoflex Arm Warmers (arm warmers with a special water resistant treatment). It proved so popular that other teams, not sponsored by Castelli, were clearly seen wearing the jacket during that snowy edition of Milan-San Remo, and social media almost went into meltdown.

It’s fair to say the Gabba has gone on to define a whole new category of clothing, and there are now many imitators and alternative versions. They’re classed as jerseys, rather than jackets because they offer the fit and comfort of a jersey, but some of the protection that you would have previously only got from a jacket.
Here is a look at some of the alternatives including, of course, the Gabba.
9 great wet-weather racing and training jerseys
Castelli Gabba RoS — £175
It's 10 years since the first Gabba and for its birthday Castelli has beefed it up a touch with Gore-Tex Infinium 205 on front-facing surfaces for a bit more warmth, taped seams on the shoulders for better water-resistance and redesigned pockets that Castelli says are easier to access when wearing winter gloves.
This fourth-generation jersey — RoS stands for 'Rain or Shine' — boasts the full set of original Gabba features too. There's a dropped tail to cover your bum and lower back, silicone gripper tape in the waist band to stop it all riding up and a high-quality YKK zip with a storm flap. Originally only available in black, it’s now available in a raft of bright colours.
At a claimed 255g, the Gabba RoS is also lighter than the previous version, but if you want something lighter still for warm but wet weather, check out the Perfetto RoS Light.

Galibier Sentinel Foul Weather Jersey — £66.25
The Galibier Sentinel blurs the lines on what defines a jacket and jersey thanks to its mixture of weatherproofing, lightweight race styling and short sleeves. It's not a new concept, but one that Galibier has executed very well indeed, and at a relatively bargain price.
Technically, the Sentinel is a jersey according to Galibier, and it's designed to work with just a baselayer, within an outdoor temperature range of 7-16°C.
Tester Stu says: "It's been difficult to test the upper end of that range, what with it being the middle of winter, but I'd say that is a fair assumption of what's suitable. I've worn it on days when the temperature has got up to 13°C and been comfortable, only getting a bit over-warm when pushing on the hills.
"At the other end I was fine down to about 5°C with just a summer baselayer underneath and a pair of arm warmers before I could start to feel a bit of a chill."

Sportful Fiandre Pro Short Sleeve — £154.00 - £220.00
Sportful calls it a jacket but with its short sleeves and super-close fit this version of the Fiandre Pro, er, upper-body garment blurs the line between jersey and jacket even more than the Gabba. It uses the same excellent material as its long-armed brother and brings with it even more three-season versatility by giving you the option to wear arm warmers or not. It's a fair chunk of money, but take its performance into account and it's well justified.
The majority of the Fiandre Pro is constructed from Polartec's NeoShell fabric, which is waterproof and windproof but has the supple finish of a softshell, which makes it more comfortable to wear than a hardshell rain jacket.
If you are out in the rain, water just beads off the surface, and thanks to its 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating, it will resist heavy showers and prolonged rain for hours before it is finally breached.
Technically, the Fiandre Pro isn't fully waterproof because not all the seams are taped on the inside – those running down the sides from under the arms, for instance – but to be honest it makes little difference as they tend not to be taking the full assault of the rain as you are riding into it.
Read our review of the Sportful Fiandre Pro Short Sleeve
Lusso Repel Corsa Jersey V2 — £59.99
Lusso's Version 2 Repel Corsa Short Sleeve Jersey is is ideal for the spring or autumn months thanks to both its resistance to the elements and its being impressively breathable and comfortable when the temperature starts to rise. It's well priced compared to most of its direct competition too... Gabba 3 anyone?
Lusso says this new version uses a new and improved Windtex fabric, and it offers excellent levels of windproofing and, more importantly, water ingress.
Even in heavy rain the fabric continued to keep the rain out. It gets to a point where it is no longer beading on the surface, but it doesn't get through. It's breathable too and you avoid that boil in the bag syndrome until at least the mid-teens centigrade.
Read our review of the Lusso Repel Corsa Jersey V2
Santini Beta Lite Jersey — £65 (limited sizes)
Santini uses a Windstopper fabric, a shiny, smooth-feeling material that stops wind and light rain from leaking through, and it’s designed to cope with a 10-20°C temperature range. It’s designed to be versatile, it can be paired with matching arm warmers, and it does cope admirably in the rain, the water beading along the surface. Overheating worries are dealt with by mesh panels under the arms and a regular lycra fabric, rather than Windstopper, is used for the rear panels to aid breathability.
Read our review of the Santini Beta
Bioracer Speedwear Concept Shirt Tempest Race 3.0 — £109.00
Belgian company Bioracer uses its own Tempest fabric to make a jersey that is designed for a temperature range between 5°C and 18°C, and in the company’s own words, “bridges the gap between aerodynamics and thermal insulation”. The Tempest fabric has a special treatment applied during the weaving process that forms a water repellant barrier, and because it’s woven, and not a surface treatment, it’s long lasting. It’s also breathable and fast-drying. Bioracer produces a lot of club kit and this one can be customised to match your club or team colours and design.
Endura Pro SL Classics Jersey II — £100.00 (limited sizes)
Endura’s FS260-Pro SL Classics jersey has been tested and developed by the Movistar team it sponsors, providing valuable feedback from some of the toughest races and most demanding athletes. It’s a short sleeve jersey intended to be used with arm warmers, so you can adapt to warm temperatures and avoid overheating. The jersey is constructed from a softshell fabric with a thermal Roubaix underarm panel, which Endura claims is lightweight, waterproof, windproof and highly breathable. The fit, as you’d expect, is cut for a racer, so it's a close fit. There’s a dropped tail, three pockets and a soft lined inner collar.
Read our review of the Endura FS260-Pro SL Classics
Parentini Mossa Windtex — ~£85
The Mossa is an Italian designed and manufactured race-fit waterproof and windproof jersey. Parentini uses a Windtex Storm Shield laminate fabric to make the jersey, and it is breathable and wind resistant. The updated Mossa provides a slightly more relaxed fit than the previous Mossa jersey, but it’s still a close fit, there is no excess fabric to flap in the wind. Features include two rear pockets, a high collar, reflective logos and an elasticated waistband.
Gore Wear C7 Windstopper Jersey — £99.99 (limited sizes)
You’ll notice that the Gabba, and other similar jerseys, are made from Gore’s Windstopper fabric. This is Gore's own version, in a three-layer fabric that in some conditions eliminates the need for a layer underneath. It's is made for riding hard in cool conditions. The Windstopper material does a lot to keep you warm but it also breathes really well. The fit is good too, with stretch just where you need it, though our wasp-waisted tester have done with a slightly more tapered waist. The price is very high compared with similar designs.

Shout out for the Galibier Sentinel jersey which does an excellent job and at a great price. Extra kudos for the big band of (aesthetically pleasing) reflective material on the back providing additional reassurance on the night commute home.
I'm not a racer but as most dedicated commuters will know it often feels like a race when you've left it a bit late leaving the house. I run pretty warm and often feel like I'm overheating midway through the commute in a long sleeve jacket. It's one of those jerseys that is appropriate for a relatively low number of days throughout the year but on those days it's the Goldilocks option: "this one is just right"
I have reiterate - nothing from Stolen Goat? I have 3 of their Orkaan jerseys. I don't wear my Gabba and Perfetto jereseys much anymore because of the Orkaan stuff. I'm finding the Orkaan jerseys to:
1. Breathe better than the Gabba range. They offer good windproofing, but strike a good balance in allowing a little more evaporation from the inside.
2. Be more comfortable - the fabric has much more elasticity to it than either the Gabba or Perfetto. It makes movement easier and sizing more forgiving.
3. Feel warmer. The fleece lining helps a bit, but the slight edge on breathability keeps me drier than the Gabba. With the Gabba/Perfetto, my sweat gets trapped a bit more, and then I end up feeling colder as time goes by.
The Orkaan's are made by Bioracer (as is all SG stuff) and afaik use the same tempest fabric covered in the Bioracer review above.
I'm happy with my SS Orkaan albeit dont wear it too much, as I tend to go long sleeved if rain is forecast, and though I have Orkaan arm warmers, I usually just fling my Galibier Mistral on.
Anyone used the planet X version?
I have a P-X Magma which has zip-off-able sleeves. Its pretty good, especially at <£40 when I bought it. Fit in medium is "interesting" longish arms and quite a tight belly on me. (I have a little man-pot). Its fine once I've breathed in and the material relaxes a bit. Only reason I dont use it much is I have an Orkaan SS and a Galibier Mistral LS both of which are less snug in a medium.
Bought a long sleeve Perfetto for racing this past winter. Breathability is phenomenal with these new fabrics. Thought about getting a short sleeve Perfetto light or Gabba for the spring, but have used the Perfetto in temps up to 20deg and felt comfortable with collar a bit unzipped.
All of these could be expensive mistakes as by the time you've tested the jersey properly you can't return it.
Why can't shops or manufacturers have items that you can hire for say...one week for a tenner + p&p to enable us to make our decision. Blockbuster Video used to do online dvd rental. Why can't we do it for expensive cycle clothing?
Short sleeve Mossa (the one with the black band on one sleeve) with Parentini arm warmers for me. I got tired of my damned Gabba soaking me to the core in anything but the lightest rain and plumped for the legit waterproof Mossa last year.
Took a bit of getting used to in terms of how it warms up and what to pair it with but it works so well. With a mesh summer base layer and no sleeves it's good for 13C whilst with a merino long sleeve it's toasty down to 0C. The material itself is waterproof and handles any amount of rain, and unlike the Gabba you can throw it in the washing machine without fear of any repellency washing out.
Fit-wise it's definitely Italian; the short sleeve variant is nicely snug on my skinny frame compared to the baggy-in-places Gabba. The only downside is that the zips aren't as good as Castelli's. Oh, that and it's bloody expensive and hard to get hold of...
I went Full Goat this morning - Orkaan jersey and C&C deep winter tights, for a fairly damp and windy run through the Chilterns at dawn. Wasn't that cold outside, maybe 6-8C, and the rain wasn't heavy but intermittent, but windy enough to make it difficult to ride into the headwind.
The SG clothes were great, really worked well in those conditions, with only a short-sleeve mesh base layer
yet to try it out in a full-on downpour though
That's an interesting, informative read. Very tempted...
I should be getting this to review in a week or so...
http://www.parentini.com/en/183/-/man
It's likely to be an improvement for the simple reason that it does without the arm 'issue' that I alluded to in my original review (using separate fabric).
In practice it's a non issue but it's a better way of dealing with it
Waterproof and breathable, when claims 10 000/10 000? Honestly I have a hard times to believe that.. everything I got with that claim (and a really great producers like Isadore, not some discount shop rubbish) is simply "water resistant" at the best and more importantly, I get cold after time in that as the moisture can´t get away quickly enough.
Never had a chance to try something like Polartec´s NeoShell, claimed 10 000 (which is okey for most of the time) / 50 000! And honestly that would feel like the best feature for me - instead of getting constantly overheated in the climbs and freeze in the downhill parts, the material like that should do wonder.. at the other hand, Sportful seems to have quality problems with seems of the pockets, so I don´t know if I would have a chance to try it this winter

The Goat Files, part 37 ...
rode home last night in light rain in the Stolen Goat Orkaan, about 1/2C, bit of a headwind, nothing drastic. I can't say that it feels "cold" when the moving, I'll call it "fresh", so maybe its not that windproof, but certainly nice and warm when coming to a halt
But the rain didn't get through. I wore a short sleeved soft-shell base layer, which keeps the sweat in more than a normal one, so I could tell more where any moisture had come from. My arms felt warmer not having a sweaty base layer, which is a bit counter-intuitive, to me at least, but it looks like the nice fleecy fabric inside is enough
I was going to go out again in the heavier rain this morning, but lost the will to live ...
The Science Goat experiments continue
on Sunday afternoon, it was really horrible weather. Rain, wind, cold, absolutely ghastly. I was delighted!
So, I wore the Orkaan everyday long sleeve, with a long sleeve merino base layer - I tried the mesh version before, but felt a bit cold, so this time tried the "solid" version, for extra thickness and warmth. It was light, persistent rain for 30 mins, with a bit of wind, and about 2C
As the ride went on, my forearms started feeling cold, quite cold, when moving, and suspected that they were wet. I do sweat a bit, and the forearms do tend to get the worst of it, and I end up wet there with even a good hardshell jacket that nothing gets through. When I got back, yes, my forearms were indeed wet, along with between my shoulder blades. The arms were so wet that my thumb actually went through the material.
However, this wasn't consistent, just where I'm most likely to sweat, which made me wonder if the coldness wasn't a failing of the jersey, but it wicking away the sweat from the base layer. I also noticed that I was wearing SG leg warmers, made out of the same stuff, with nothing underneath those and that was the warmest part of my body.
so, another experiment this morning. No rain, but cold, -1C cold. I compromised on base layers, wearing a short sleeved soft-shell base layer. Just the arms of the jersey to take on the elements
and that seemed to make a big difference. Not overly hot, but I think that's a good thing, certainly wamer than wearing either long-sleeved base layer
going to lash down on the way home tonight - really get to see what's what ...
Try the castelli perfetto short sleeve, its impressive. Great windproof on the front, breathable on the back especially, looks good, fits well. I got in on wiggle for £105 and wore it from 5c early morning rides to 22c afternoon rides. It coped from May 1st to September 30th in Scotland (no base layer). It complements the gabba 2 long sleeve.
For 2017 Castelli have boogered the names completely, so now the gabba 2 long sleeve is called the perfetto long sleeve or something!
I had never heard of stolen goat before today, so +1 for the commenters and -1 for road.cc
I have a gabba LS for winter and early spring / late autumn & perfetto for late spring and summer and early autumn (with arm warmers if needed).
When they go to retirement I will look at the SG Orkaan range. Thanks!
Gabba 2 for all three seasons. I wouldn't waste money on anything else. Thats coming from buying Rapha, Pactimo, DHB, Assos, etc the list keeps going.
If only I listened earlier I would have saved a lot of money on so many jerseys.
In summer nothing beats Caselli climbers jesey either.
Only Rapha beats them in style though.
I had a Goat, but found the fit to be very weird, it certainly performed well enough and the reflective pockets were great, but in the end I sold it and bought a Gabba. The Gabba has a much better fit for me, seems more windproof and crucially has a decent drop tail. I would buy another in Gabba a heartbeat.
I wore the Cafe Du Cycliste Josette on a recent sportive that had a fair share of drizzle, but it did end up wet through. Not sure if this was from the outside or the inside - I suspect the temperatures got above the recommended 15 degrees, so the breathability may have been compromised, especially as I had a thin gilet over the top and a thin merino base underneath (couldn't take the gilet off for reasons I won't bore anyone with).
I do like the CdC stuff on the whole, and I did get this with a good discount, but not sure I'd recommend it over the others in this list. I have had a Mossa (1st iteration) and also found that got very wet from the inside, and my old Gabba long since gave up the water-resistant ghost.
10 of the best....from reviewing how many?
Agree with the sentiments about Stoeln Goat.
If you're going to certain items then at least say which you reviewed and which didn't chart!
I own a Gabba and Perfetto. They're great. I also own a Spokesman Ghost jersey, which is better IMO. Not on the list but like Stolen Goat, I'm sure it's had a tremendous review previously!
How would you compare the Perfetto and the Gabba? I might get the Gabba too.
But the Ghost seems to be a jacket?
wow - thanks for all the positive comments everyone! very much appreciated
.
I can see why we aren't in this write up. Our Orkaan jerseys are indeed manufactured by Bioracer and we make no effort to hide that, in fact we are mighty proud of the fact. It enables us to focus on customer service, bespoke designs and fine tuning our business in order to keep the prices smart. Bioracer worry about garment innovation and they have 25 years of race-winning experience there
On the flip side, it's potentially very beneficial for folks to know we are out there as an option. Our Everyday Orkaan jersey comes in at £95 for example and also includes the super reflective rear pockets that the Bioracer tempest jersey listed does not. Ours also has an extra 4th zipped pocket.
We also have Orkaan bib shorts, ¾ tights and accessories to match.
You could (for example) choose a colourful, reflective and extremely effective stolen goat Orkaan jersey and Orkaan bib shorts and still have £10 left in your pocket compared to the Rapha shadow jersey. #JustSaying (dear Rapha, we're not starting a fight, honest xx)
You can read a little more here if you’re interested...
https://stolengoat.com/reflective-waterproof-cycling-jersey/
Whatever you choose, wherever you choose to buy it from, these kind of jerseys are really flipping smart. It's so nice to not be worried about every looming rain cloud in the sky! Over and out
Do you have measurements from collar to waistband for both the front and rear of this jersey?
I could only find chest sizes in the description on website.
(Both in M and L sizes - if possible)
Thanks...
Hi there, no problem, drop us an email : help [at] stolengoat.com
Many thanks
"Hi there, no problem, drop us an email : help [at] stolengoat.com Many thanks"
Will do...cheers.
Capo Lombardia - although I don't know if it is still made. A shame if it is not. Oh yeah, is there not a Lusso product that is supposedly very good...albeit £130
ok, goat fans, in the interests of science, I conducted an extremely thorough experiment this morning, by wearing my Orkaan in
It was a misty morning, roughly 7C, light following wind. I averaged 17mph for 19.5 miles, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Most of it was on open countryside roads, with a little bit of town through Windsor then 10 minutes along the Thames from Sonning to Reading
I wore a mesh base layer underneath, and a gilet on top for the first 10 minutes. I had Rapha pro-team thermal shorts and SG Orkaan legwarmers - legs were lovely and cosy, full Ready-Brek effect.
The top, especially when I took off the gilet, did have a slightly cool, possibly clammy feel, which might be the mesh base layer, whilst I was moving, but I strangely felt much warmer when stopped. I was in no way cold, but wasn't quite getting the Ready-Brek glow *when moving*, whereas I do with the rapha mesh/pro-team long sleeve in even colder conditions. I am trundling along in reasonable conditions though, rather than giving it the full Roger De Vlaeminck in a Flemish thunderstorm
Be interesting to see how it goes with different base layers and weather conditions. I would say I should get out more, but this is what happens when I do ...
Did the editor get bored of "read our review of" by the last two?
I got a Stolen Goat Orkaan last month on the back of reviews and comments here, and it's still yet to rain so I can give it a good workout! I've been wearing Rapha mesh merino base layer with pro-team long sleeve jerseys (from the sale, Decathaletes) which have been astounding at keeping me warm but not overly wet inside even down to about 0C on early mornings (I sweat just looking at a bike, thinking about even), but on the couple of times I've worn the Orkaan, I've felt a little bit of a chill through it when wearing the mesh underneath. Maybe a thicker base layer underneath, but I don't want to get too hot underneath ...
Looking forward to the proper scuzzy weather, I always prefer riding in that, but no "waterproof" has ever really worked out, can't wait to see how the Goat holds up. I got some arm and leg warmers at the same time, I wearing the legs most days, nice and cozy (but also yet to prove themselves in the deluge)
