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.
Features:
At DASH, we've created a Cycle to Work enabled storefront which allows you to browse and order a range of items, all whilst benefitting from savings of 28-47%. The cost of items you order is split into 12 months and deducted from your gross (or pre-tax) salary, allowing you to save on income tax and national insurance contributions, which is called salary sacrifice. After 12 months, you'll be able to continue using your items at no extra cost.
We have a range of items, from bikes and e-bikes, to accessories (such as helmets and locks), bike parts and tools, clothing (including jackets, shorts, shoes, and everything in between), even pre-owned bikes. We work with a range of brands so there's sure to be something you like in stock.
Since we are a Cycle to Work scheme ourselves, we cannot accept vouchers from other scheme providers. If you would like to use DASH and already have a voucher, it might be worth speaking to your employer to see if they are able to refund it.
