Amazon isn’t the only retailer serving up killer deals this week. Backcountry.com is hosting a two-day flash sale with deep discounts across top cycling brands, including up to 60% off Castelli gear.
If you’ve been holding out for premium kit without the premium price tag, here’s your chance to gear up for the fall and winter rides ahead.
Castelli is well known for making some of the best winter cycling apparel on the market. For more than a decade, the Italian brand has been at the forefront of winter cycling apparel innovation, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a group ride where you won’t find the little scorpion logo on things.
As someone who’s braved the gloomy, dreary and soaking wet Pacific Northwest winters for entirely too many bike miles, the Gabba jacket has been a staple in my closet since the early 2010s. These days, the Gabba concept has been rebranded and refined under the name Perfetto.
The Perfetto RoS (“Rain or Shine”) is essentially the modern successor to the Gabba, and it’s an excellent piece of kit for those living in the cooler climates where a chance of rain is always in the forecast. Its GORE-TEX Infinium™ fabric blocks wind, repels light rain, and wicks away sweat during hard efforts.
Available in both long- and short-sleeve versions (and even convertible ones!), the Perfetto hits that sweet spot for shoulder-season rides: light enough to avoid overheating, protective enough for unpredictable conditions. If you’re upgrading your layering game this fall, this is the piece you’ll reach for again and again.
Backcounty is currently offering both a men’s and a women’s version for up tp 60% off, so grab one before they’re gone!
If there’s one thing Castelli understands better than most, it’s how to make foul-weather gear that gets you out of the door even when the skies open up. The Gavia Jacket is among the brand’s leading shells, built for the kind of days when “just a chance of rain” turns into a full-on deluge.
Named after the infamous Passo Gavia, a climb notorious for its brutal weather, this jacket lives up to its name. Constructed from GORE-TEX waterproof fabric with fully taped seams and an extended drop tail, it keeps you dry through hours of spray and steady rain. Despite that protection, it remains impressively breathable and cut for a close, aerodynamic fit that won’t flap or bunch when you’re hammering into a headwind.
It’s the sort of jacket that transforms a miserable day into a satisfying sufferfest. While its retail price of $499 tends to cause some sticker shock, the Backcountry’s flash sale has it marked down by as much as 60% off, making this the perfect time to add a true wet-weather essential to your wardrobe.
