Worn a couple of times in the wet and cold, so review based on that. • Went by Castelli size chart and had to eventually size up, as gloves were initially too small and tight. • Sized up and the fit was much better, but hand movement a little clunky due to material and thickness. • Overall the gloves are comfortable and have good grip on the bars, whilst still able to change gear and brake easily. • Kept my hands warm prior to rain starting, if not a little sweaty. Neoprene not really breathable. • When they were wet from rain my hands were still warm, despite cold riding conditions, 3-4 degrees. • End of the ride my hands were quite pruned from being wet, neoprene takes a while to dry out, so when the rain stops, your hands will stay wet inside, but warm. • These gloves do what they’re designed for, they kept my hands warm when wet and in cold conditions. However, I would’ve struggled to have put them back on, had I have taken them off mid way through a long ride due to them being wet and pruned hands. • For future rides in the rain and cold, these would be my go to glove.

About Castelli
At the front since 1876.
Castelli has been at the front of cycling apparel since 1876, founded in Milan as the original maker of pro race kit. From the first cycling jerseys to today's WorldTour-proven aero garments, the brand has spent nearly 150 years putting innovation onto the backs of the fastest riders in the world.
Castelli outfitted the first organised cycling teams in Italy and has been a constant presence in the pro peloton ever since. The Scorpion logo appears on more WorldTour podiums than almost any other apparel mark.
