CASTELLI Men's Arenberg Gel 2 Glove for Road and Gravel Biking l Cycling

Castelli has alot of bicycle clothing at mid-prices. I have used alot of shorts, jerseys, gloves, etc. from a well-known US brand founded in Tokyo in l950 that has price points similar to Castelli. I have always backed off on Castelli because I was never sure whether I need sizes 1 or 2 (or 3 for shorts) times larger than just about every other brand. I guess Italians are smaller for the size LOL. My last set of gloves from the other company lasted about 200 rides before they were just too ratty to use. So I researched out similar products here and got these. They are clearly made with better quality materials than their competitors. 1 size larger that usual (large vs. medium) fit just fine, although a little tight but they will stretch with use. They are very comfortable and well padded for rough gravel rides etc. I saw one review where the threads around a finger were coming off. Mine are well stitched and not had that problem after 10 rides and don't expect to. With the other brand, the velcro tabs to close around the back of the hand did not work well, I would be half way through a ride and they were off. Bouncing around trying to close the velcro tabs on one hand with the other is not safe, meaning one would have to stop to close them back up which none of us want to do. Not with these Castelli's, the velcro closures stay together for a 3 hour bouncy ride. Overall, just great quality for the price, very comfortable gloves, and I am going to start transitioning over to fully to Castelli cycling clothes where possible, just need to figure out how to get the right sizes.......

These are great gloves. Comfy, snug fit and well made. The sizing seems to be made for munchkins, so order a size bigger than usual.

These are great gloves, Fit me well and have the padding in the right place for my hands and riding style. Buy them when they are on sale. They have held up well, but I do usually have two or three pair in rotation. Keep them clean and allow them to dry completely between rides,

Fit is on the small side, and could use more padding on the palms. I like that they have tabs for pulling the gloves off.

Light weight, durable, with Castelli gloves NO more numb hands, absorb all road.

Some people commented that the quality of these gloves was questionable. I haven't seen any quality issues at all and I've been using these for quite a while now. In fact, I need to order another pair. The only thing I found not as acceptable was the fit. They were very tight to start, but they did stretch out enough. I may go up one size next time. Comfort, grip, and functionality... all good! I like them!

very comfortable. The velcro is pretty small so I wonder how that'll hold up over time but they fit well and I haven't had numbness etc.

These gloves are of good quality, but they fit very tightly on my hands. I have large hands and got whatever the largest size they offered was, and they do fit, after some wriggling and pulling the gloves onto my hand, and they do feel fine when I ride, but I found other gloves on Amazon that cost $15 which I end up using because they work just fine and I don’t have to fiddle with them getting them on my hand.These Castelli’s cost $50 when I bought them, and I like the cheap $15 gloves better, and the name brand that I bought is Moreok.
