Product Information

Full details

The Castelli Roubaix Gel 2 Cycling Gloves are specifically designed for female cyclists who prioritize long-ride comfort and hand protection. Featuring the signature Castelli Damping System (CDS) and the brand's thickest gel padding, these gloves excel at reducing road vibration and protecting the median nerve during extended sessions. While they offer exceptional comfort in warm weather, riders seeking a minimalist or 'bare-feel' glove may find the high-volume padding slightly intrusive.

FAQs

What temperature range are these gloves best for?

They are designed for optimal performance in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C.

Do these gloves have a touchscreen-compatible finger?

The Roubaix Gel 2 model focuses on padding and comfort; please check specific labeling if touchscreen functionality is a requirement.

How should I wash my Castelli gloves?

We recommend hand washing with mild soap and air drying to preserve the structure of the gel padding.

Are these gloves specific to women?

Yes, this model features an anatomical fit designed specifically for the female hand.

What is the Castelli Damping System (CDS)?

CDS is a specialized engineering design that protects the median nerve in the palm to prevent hand numbness and fatigue.

Can these be used for mountain biking?

While intended for road cycling, they can be used for light gravel or XC riding, though they lack the abrasion resistance of dedicated MTB gloves.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too loose during rides

Adjust the embossed Velcro strap to provide a tighter, more secure fit around the wrist.

Sweat accumulation inside the palm

Ensure the gloves are pulled fully onto the hand to align the perforations correctly; hand wash to clear any clogged ventilation pores.

Gel padding feels stiff after washing

Gently massage the gel inserts while the gloves are damp to restore their original flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent vibration damping for long-distance comfort
  • Effective protection for the median nerve
  • Highly breathable construction suitable for hot days
  • Anatomical fit designed specifically for women
  • Secure adjustable closure system

Cons

  • Not suitable for cold weather riding
  • Thick padding may feel bulky to some riders
  • Limited to road cycling applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, tighten the Velcro closure until the glove feels snug but not restrictive against your wrist. These gloves are compatible with standard road bike handlebars and bar tape. To maintain the longevity of the gel pads and the elasticity of the neoprene, hand wash the gloves in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying or using bleach, as these can degrade the technical fabrics and the integrity of the gel inserts.
