FAQs
Are these gloves machine washable?
While hand washing is recommended to prolong life, you can machine wash on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag.
What is the primary function of the Castelli Damping System?
The CDS is designed to protect the median nerve and reduce numbness by dampening road vibrations.
Are these gloves suitable for winter?
No, these are designed for mild to warm conditions; they do not provide windproof or thermal insulation for freezing temperatures.
Can I use my touchscreen device while wearing these?
The gloves are not specifically marketed as touchscreen-compatible.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point and refer to the official Castelli size chart to match your measurement.
Troubleshooting
Velcro is no longer sticking securely
Clean any lint or debris out of the hook-and-loop fabric using a small brush or toothpick.
Excessive moisture buildup inside the glove
Ensure you are not layering gloves and check that the back of the hand is not obstructed by long-sleeve jerseys.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your gloves, fasten the velcro closure before washing to prevent snagging on other fabric. Hand wash in cool water with a mild, technical fabric detergent and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the breathability and the integrity of the gel padding. When putting the gloves on, pull gently from the main body of the glove rather than the cuff to preserve the elasticity of the neoprene.
