Wiggle are doing the SS Gabba at £91 at moment, which is a bargain. Was a better bargain at £85 on Wednesday when sale started mind you 😀

Did consider Perfetto but reckoned Gabba SS to compliment my LS one would cover all bases up to regular Jersey weather.

This darned place 😀

Have just popped a sale Perfetto into the basket on back of this thread. As with the OP, I already have a LS Gabba for the 5-10 degree days. Anyone directly compared the Gabba SS with the Perfetto SS for the warmer damp rides ? I will struggle to justify keeping both the SS ones...

I have a LS and SS Gabba and a Perfetto.

My opinion is that the LS is great in winter, and that the Perfetto will work down to low double figures, especially if you use a base layer.

My opinion is the Perfetto.

I don't really use my SS Gabba much TBH.

^^ many thanks, sounds like I may return the sale SS Gabba then. Does the Perfetto size same as SS Gabba ? My LS is XL and fits well so have stuck with that for order.

yes, near enough, I would say it's [i]slightly[/i] tighter.

The pockets on the back are a lot tighter, that would be my only negative.

Just remember the back is not waterproof like either Gabba.

Perfetto is nano light on the back so not waterproof but good for showers.

Perfetto arrived today. went for same XL as my LS Gabba - it is touch tighter, but more stretchy due the back material, so it's a keeper. Will send back the new SS Gabba that came at weekend 🙂 as agree it looks a better option to go with LS Gabba. Cheers all !
