FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for mountain biking?

While durable, these gloves are primarily designed for road cycling. For mountain biking, consider gloves with more robust palm protection and ventilation specific to off-road conditions.

How do I determine the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point and refer to the Castelli sizing chart available on their website or retailer's product page.

Can the gel palms be replaced?

The gel palms are integrated into the glove design and are not typically user-replaceable. Proper care will help maintain their integrity.

What is the main advantage of the gel inserts?

The gel inserts provide targeted cushioning to absorb road vibrations, reduce pressure points, and enhance grip on the handlebars, leading to increased comfort and control.

How breathable are these gloves?

They are designed with lightweight, breathable materials to promote airflow and keep hands cool during intense activity and warm weather cycling.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

These gloves are best suited for mild to warm conditions. For colder weather, consider Castelli's winter glove options.

What maintenance is required for the gel palm?

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water and ensuring they dry naturally is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive heat.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight initially

Wear the gloves for a few shorter rides to allow the gel and fabric to conform to your hands. Avoid forcing them on.

Reduced grip after washing

Ensure the gloves are completely dry. Re-condition the gel palms with a silicone-based leather conditioner if necessary, following product instructions.

Stitching coming loose

Inspect the affected area. For minor issues, a fabric glue may suffice. For significant damage, contact customer support.

Discoloration on white fabric

Gently spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or gel.
