FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather cycling?
These gloves are designed for moderate temperatures. For cold weather, consider insulated or waterproof cycling gloves.
How do I determine my correct glove size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb) and your middle finger length. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart.
Can I use these gloves for mountain biking?
While they offer good grip and padding, they are primarily designed for road cycling. For aggressive mountain biking, gloves with more robust knuckle protection might be preferable.
How long do the gel inserts typically last?
With proper care, the gel inserts are durable and should maintain their cushioning properties for multiple seasons of regular use.
Are the gloves waterproof?
No, these gloves are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and may offer some water resistance but are not intended for use in heavy rain.
What is the main difference between the Arenberg Gel 2 and other Castelli gloves?
The Arenberg Gel 2 features specific gel padding and silicone grip patterns optimized for road cycling comfort and control, distinguishing it from minimalist or extreme weather models.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop wrist closure to achieve a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on hand measurements.
Reduced grip over time
Clean the silicone palm areas with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove sweat and grime buildup. Allow to air dry completely.
Hand fatigue persists
While the gel padding helps, ensure your bike fit and handlebar setup are optimal. For extreme discomfort, consider a different padding density glove.
