"Castelli introduced its new Do.Di.Ci jacket - well, it's a jersey, but no, it's actually a jacket. The Do.Di.Ci falls somewhere between the two. Castelli uses its Ristretto technology in the new jacket to help evaporate sweat and regulate body temperature. In fact, the new Do.Di.Ci performs 12 times better than previous Castelli offerings. Which is why they called it "Do.Di.Ci," or "twelve" in Italian."
"If you thought "Ristretto" was coffee, you're not wrong. The word translates to "restricted," and refers to a very short espresso. In Casteilli's case, Ristretto technology restricts and regulates airflow through a fabric, creating an essentialy fully windproof garment that still breathes. To help with breathability, Castelli partnered with advanced fabric innovator, Itttai. Using Itttai's trusted membrane and lamination process, a PFAS-free fabric was created that both stretches and breathes. The Do.Di.Ci has an air permeability of three cubic feet per minute, the most in Castelli's jacket category for 2025."
""There's never been a jacket like the Do.Di.Ci.," Steve Smith, Global Brand Manager for Castelli, said. "We see it as the spiritual heir to the Gabba for the way many people use the Gabba.""
Castelli's Do.Di.Ci is a hybrid jacket-jersey engineered to balance windproof protection with high breathability. Ristretto technology restricts and regulates airflow through the fabric to create essentially fully windproof coverage while allowing moisture evaporation and temperature control. Castelli partnered with Itttai to use a PFAS-free membrane and lamination that stretches and breathes, producing the highest air permeability in Castelli's 2025 jacket category at three cubic feet per minute. Performance is stated as twelve times better than previous Castelli offerings. The Do.Di.Ci targets dry, cold riding and serves as a functional successor to the Gabba for versatile conditions.
