FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for cold weather?

The Castelli 4521024 Rosso Corsa Pro V Gloves are designed with lightweight, breathable fabric, making them ideal for mild to warm conditions. They are not insulated for cold weather.

What is the primary benefit of the gel palm system?

The gel palm system is designed to absorb shock and vibrations from the road, reduce pressure on the hands, and prevent numbness during long rides.

Can I use these gloves for mountain biking?

While they offer good grip and cushioning, these gloves are primarily designed for road cycling. For mountain biking, gloves with more robust padding and protection might be preferable.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Castelli sizing guide, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your palm. It's often recommended to try them on if possible for the best fit.

What is the warranty period for these gloves?

Warranty information can vary by retailer. Please check the product packaging or contact the point of purchase for specific warranty details.

How often should I wash my cycling gloves?

It's recommended to wash your gloves after each long or sweaty ride to maintain hygiene and prolong their lifespan. Hand washing is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consult the Castelli sizing chart and measure your hand circumference. If already purchased, consider if the gloves will stretch slightly with use, or if a larger size is needed.

Reduced grip over time

Clean the palm area with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove sweat and grime. Allow to air dry completely. If the material is worn, the gloves may need replacement.

Gel padding feels uncomfortable

Ensure the gloves are worn correctly and the gel pads are aligned with pressure points on your palm. Some adjustment may be needed as the padding breaks in. If discomfort persists, this particular glove model may not suit your hand anatomy.

Seams are fraying

Gently trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on the threads. If the seam integrity is compromised, contact the retailer for warranty information.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and performance of your gloves:

  1. Washing: Hand wash using a mild detergent in cold water. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them tightly for extended periods, which could crease the gel padding.
