FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for winter cycling?
No, these gloves are primarily designed for mild to warm weather conditions due to their breathable mesh back. For cold weather, consider a more insulated glove.
How do I find the right size?
Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point and consult the CASTELLI sizing guide. The 'W' in the model name indicates it's a women's specific fit.
Can I use these gloves for mountain biking?
While the grip is good, these gloves are optimized for road cycling. For aggressive mountain biking, you might prefer gloves with more abrasion resistance and protection.
How durable is the silicone palm print?
The silicone print is designed for good grip and reasonable durability. Proper care, including hand washing and air drying, will help maintain its effectiveness.
What does 'CDS' stand for?
CDS stands for Castelli Cushioning System, which refers to the integrated padding designed to enhance comfort by reducing pressure on the hands.
Can these gloves be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash these gloves to preserve the integrity of the materials and the cushioning system. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If borderline, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit.
Reduced grip after washing
Ensure gloves are completely dry. The silicone print may temporarily lose some tackiness when wet.
Discomfort on long rides
Verify the correct size and ensure the cushioning is properly aligned with pressure points on your palm. Consider if the ride conditions are suitable for this glove's intended level of padding.
