FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for mountain biking?
While they offer good grip and comfort, the CASTELLI DOLCISSIMA 2 W GLOVE is primarily designed for road cycling. For mountain biking, gloves with more robust padding and durability might be preferable.
How do I determine my glove size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point (excluding the thumb). Compare this measurement to the CASTELLI sizing chart available on the product page or manufacturer's website.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
It is recommended to hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild detergent to preserve the materials and the effectiveness of the shock-absorbing system. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
What is the Castelli Shock Absorbing System (CDS)?
The CDS is a technology integrated into the glove designed to cushion your hands against impacts and vibrations from the road, reducing fatigue on longer rides.
Do these gloves offer insulation for cold weather?
No, these gloves are designed with breathability in mind and are best suited for moderate to warm weather conditions. They do not provide significant insulation for cold temperatures.
How often should I clean my cycling gloves?
It's generally recommended to wash your gloves after every few rides, especially if you sweat heavily or ride in dusty conditions, to maintain hygiene and material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and measure your hand circumference accurately. A snug fit is intended, but if it causes numbness or is excessively restrictive, consider a different size.
Reduced grip over time
Clean the silicone print on the palm with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or sweat buildup that might be affecting grip.
Hands feel too warm
These gloves are designed for breathability but may be too warm in very hot conditions. Ensure they are fully dry after washing, as residual moisture can sometimes exacerbate heat.
