    I'm in Sweden on holiday at the moment and just happened to go into a big sports shop called XXL and found the Gabba 2 long sleeve jersey for €150!

    been available at that price from various online sources for a while now,or were for a while. swimcylerun had them, and either crc or wiggle had them reduced as well, worth checking if folks are still looking

    I'm 6'2" and even at 90kg the XL is very loose on me with a few layers beneath.

    Have several other Castelli jerseys in L and the fit is much better.

    As I started this thread, I'll reiterate a point I made some time back.....
    I think there is some flexibility in the sizing with the Gabba (original) at 6'2, 78Kg and 30" chest my XL fits me perfectly with room for a base layer or light jersey beneath. No way would a L fit me, yet a L in a Castelli long sleeved jersey if fine. Go figure. Maybe my XL is a mis-labelled L......

    Buy somewhere that you have the option to exchange for a different size........ :)

    Got drowned in my gabba Monday evening. Hadn't worn it as a rain jacket, but got caught in a massive shower for 10 minutes. Soaked through. Just boguht some Nikwax to hopefully fix it. I know it's not a rain jacket, but it is supposed to be somewhat waterproof. I was soaked after a minute in the rain!

    Are you washing it with fabric softener by any chance?

    Been giving the gabba a good test this past few weeks with the weather we are having! Believe the hype! It is a great bit of kit. Would definitely recommend it.
