At Gobik we always seek to offer more than just a simple garment; we want each jacket, jersey or bib shorts to be an ally in your adventure. Selkie is just that: a lightweight, compact and tremendously versatile jacket that becomes your best companion to face wind, light rain and sudden weather changes. We know that, as cyclists, we value the freedom to adapt to any conditions, and we've found that the Selkie was born precisely out of that need.

The compact and lightweight garment you can't miss.

For us, the Selkie is the ideal jacket to wear on any trail in uncertain weather. It's light and foldable enough to be stowed in a jersey pocket without taking up too much space. We've designed it with a regular fit that allows it to be worn over light summer layers or even warmer in-between-season garments. This jacket is your portable shield that you can deploy when the weather turns against you.

Why do we love it?

It's more than just a barrier: the FLEXDRY fabric allows for great stretch, so you'll never feel like it's restricting your movement. We've tested and perfected it to keep you comfortable, both on intense ascents and on those descents when the wind chill kicks in.

Details That Make The Difference

  • All-weather protection: The Selkie is our favorite for spring and fall days, when temperatures range from +8 to +16°C and conditions can change quickly.
  • Water and wind resistance: No one likes to be stopped by a change in weather. With a water column of 8,000 mm and a waterproof inner membrane, Selkie effectively repels light rain. Whether it's a breezy mountain pass or an exposed road, you know you'll have reliable protection.
  • All Luxury Details: From the dual-slider YKK zipper to the elastic cuffs and waist that keep the garment snug to the body, every detail is designed for comfort and versatility. Reflective details on the back and sleeves are also a must-have to increase your visibility in low-light conditions.

We tested it on all types of routes

In every test we conducted with the Selkie, this jacket stands out for its ability to adapt to a variety of situations, especially on long routes or varied terrain. We like to say that it is one of those "all-round" garments, because it really is perfect for those who don't want to worry about the weather before heading out. We know that when you wear it, you have insurance against the wind and a guarantee to stay dry in light rain, which makes every mile count.

Personal opinion: Why the Selkie is a must?

For us, the Selkie is a must-have in the cycling closet. Whether you're cycling in road cycling, gravel, mountainbike or just want an extra layer of protection on a daily basis, this jacket meets and exceeds expectations. It's lightweight, functional, and its minimalist design makes it feel like an extension of your regular gear. We recommend it especially for those days when the weather can't seem to make up its mind, and, once you try it, it becomes hard not to wear it all the time.

So if you're looking for a jacket that's reliable, practical and ready for whatever comes next, Selkie it's designed for you.
