FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

These gloves are best suited for mild to warm weather conditions due to their lightweight and breathable design. The fingerless style does not provide warmth in cold temperatures.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the CASTELLI sizing guide, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your palm. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without restricting movement.

Can I use these gloves for other sports?

While designed for cycling, the grip and cushioning features might be beneficial for other activities requiring hand protection and handlebar control, such as rowing or some forms of weightlifting. However, their specific design is optimized for cycling.

What is the main advantage of the gel palm?

The gel palm provides superior grip on handlebars, enhancing control and safety. It also absorbs road vibrations and pressure, reducing hand fatigue and numbness during long rides.

How durable is the gel padding?

The gel padding is designed for durability under normal cycling conditions. Proper care, including hand washing and air drying, will help maintain its integrity and performance over time.

What does 'Rosso Corsa' signify?

'Rosso Corsa' is Italian for 'racing red' and often denotes a high-performance or top-tier product line within the Castelli brand, emphasizing racing capabilities and quality.

Is this the only color available for this model?

This specific product listing is for the red variant. Other color options and models may be available separately within the CASTELLI glove range.

Troubleshooting

Gel palm losing grip or becoming sticky

Wash the gloves according to care instructions. Ensure all detergent residue is removed. Avoid using oils or lotions on your hands before wearing the gloves.

Stitching coming undone

Inspect the stitching. For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue might temporarily help. For significant issues, contact customer support for potential warranty claims.

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart before purchasing. If already purchased, try wearing them for short periods to allow the material to adapt to your hand shape.

Cushioning feels insufficient

Confirm that the cushioning is positioned correctly on your palm. Road vibration dampening can vary based on bike setup and road surface. These gloves offer moderate cushioning; for extreme comfort needs, consider models with more substantial padding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
