Big fan of Castelli but these gloves are a real disappointment. I've worn and washed them (cold water, hang to dry) many times. The stitching started to come out around the wrist after 10-15 rides. Since it was too late to exchange, I sewed them back together myself. Shouldn't have to do this with a $50 pair of gloves!

This is the 3rd set of these I have had as the previous 2 went back for seam tears using them for 3-4 rides. I love the gloves and the depth and placement of the padding but they just won't hold up and I took a lot of time putting them on and removing them knowing that the quality reviews were not kind. It;'s disappointing because i love the glove.

Great looking gloves and I love Castelli, however. I tried these gloves out the day I got them and as I pulled on the first glove the stitching in the wrist trim popped. When I finished my ride the stitching on the other glove popped. Otherwise I was pleased with them.

I had bought an extra large and tried to put them on and they would not fit at all,not sure why I had bought them before and had fit right,presume the were made by some one else other than castell

I'm on my second pair of these gloves this year. The first ones had stitching on both gloves in the same place begin to come undone. Competitive exchanged them under warranty, but now the second set also has stitching, albeit in a different part of the glove coming undone.
The fit is great as is the comfort. But having 2 sets now where the stitching is coming undone is not acceptable. Previous gloves were Specialized BG Fit and they held together for several years before the gloves developed issues necessitating replacement.
Like all Castelli kit I get, the gloves, socks & jerseys are sized at XXL versus XL in most other brands.

I purchased a second pair of these gloves for my Dad. He loved his so much and wore them out. He is a big guy with longer narrow hands and the XL fit great. Adequate for the longer rides he enjoys.
Sterling WatsonHeight:6'0"Weight:165lbsGreat padding...odd fit

- Size Bought: XXL
I generally wear a size medium in gloves, maybe large. So I ordered a pair of larges since Castelli occasionally runs small. Way to small so tired the xl...again to small. The xxl size fit and I really like them. The only down side is that there is no velcrow opening so even getting the xxl pair on can be difficult. Again, great padding, cool, protects my hand but sizing is just odd.
I understand some like velcro on gloves...I got these because they DO NOT use velcro...they actually fit like a glove! 6ft 190lbs in xl

I really like the look and feel of these gloves, but they began to break down rather quickly. I will say that even though they became a bit tattered, they never died. I still use them because I like the padding and the cut. I just wish they were a bit more well put together. Big hands, XXL is cool. The wrist is not very elastic, so you have to make like a crab to squeeze your "pinchers" in. Grab a pair of these on sale and take them to pound-town (I just hope it's not a block away).
ca.5489951I agree on the way they are put together. Ordered first set in March, replaced in May due to stitching coming undone. Replacement pair now has stitching coming undone.
danielLight. Breathable. Somewhat Durable.

I've used these gloves for about 2 years now and are still in decent shape. The only part that has not lasted was the grip of the palm. Other then that, I'm glad I got these light and breathable gloves.
Michael S.Great feel, unsure about durability

These gloves feel really nice out on the road. I have no complaints there. My issue is that some of the stitching started to become undone after a month or so of owning the gloves. Not quite the typical castelli quality--given how much they cost I feel they could be better.
Kris LanderAgreed. I noticed that my pair of Rosso Corsa gloves have come unstitched on the right pinkie and right index finger. I'm somewhat handy with a sewing needle, so I'll probably just fix them, but it's disappointing.

Smaller this year?

This was my favorite glove last season and I ordered the same size again this year. I could barely get the glove on and it was painful trying to get it down the lower hand to the wrist. It took me about 5 minutes of working it back and forth and barely squeezed on. Not sure what they did, but I'll have to switch to something else, not recommended for anyone with a larger wrist or hand.

Very light, questionable durability
Fully vented top side keeps hands very cool.
No velcro strap makes it easy to get on/off and comfortable. Pull tab between middle and ring finger helps get it off, but don't pull it off too hard - pull tab seems to be coming unstitched after a while. Wristband is coming unstitched in 1 place too.
Tried using for mountain biking...no good because of all of the gel pads. Stick to the roads.
Debbie C30-day warranty...wonder why?
Thanks for the review Sterling! Super helpful to get this feedback out to the community.
