I buy Castelli gloves because they have the most padding and protection in the palms. High quality material, excellent product

super high quality cold weather gloves

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

XL

Bought these on sale after my Pearl Izumi's started falling apart. These are exceptionally high quality gloves - very warm, comfortable and grippy FYI - I found the fit to be quite long in the fingers compared to other Castelli gloves.

Nice snug fit, but it is challenging to put on and take off.

I have only used these once but they fit good on my hand and kept my hands warm. Only downsides are the cuff on them is a bit too tight and hard to get over my jacket sleeve. And you cannot operate your cell phone with them on. They appear to have some kind of material on the pointer finger that I thought was for cell phone use but it does not work. Overall though a good glove for the money.

Great gloves for cool weather

Large

I have average size hands.. The large fits tight, but that's what I want. Just take a little effort on and off, but are perfect when on. These are good for mid 30s to mid 40s. Solid grip on the bars. I wear large for a gloves.

Good for cool but not cold weather rides

These gloves are thin and after a few rides I can say that they're not going to keep my hands warm below about mid-30s F. They're sold as winter gloves, but I guess that's relative to what winter weather is where you live. In northeast USA, winter riding means getting outside when it's well below freezing. I was hoping for a glove that would be warm down into the mid- or upper-20s F. I consider my hands average for my size and the XL fits pretty well except the fingers are a bit long - better long than short, I guess. Not a bad glove, but I was hoping for something a bit warmer.

Light and great

These are thin enough to allow operation of gears and grab your snacks without issues but I have used them in 42F weather and did not feel cold at all The gloves are snug and comfortable Highly recommend

Not Suited For Cold Weather

Wore them today and had to turn around after 16 miles, it was around 40 degrees outside. After 8 miles I could not feel the handlebars and had a hard time shifting. No insulation and going downhill I could feel the cold air. Hope to be able to return them

Pretty Close to 'Perfetto'

I can't recommend these gloves highly enough. I'm a big fan of anything Castelli. Over the years, my love has been tested a only a few times, most recently with their 'Spettacolo' gloves which were not, well, all that spectacular. The palm grip panels on that model sheared off after 2-3 rides, although they remain usable and have made the grade otherwise. The hyperbolic naming has continued with the Perfetto, but this time it rings true. I have ridden with these on several chilly rides, some with light rain and/or stiff headwinds. Despite being impossibly thin and light, they are quite warm-at least as warm as the heavier Spettacolo-maybe warmer, although temps haven't yet dipped below 40, when I usually reach for heavier gloves. The fit is nice and snug, so loss of dexterity is minimal when shifting, finding zipper pull-fobs, or poking around for a gel in the back pocket. Padding is grippy and substantial without being too bulky or obtrusive. Rain beads up and rolls right off, but I'm not sure that it would keep up with a real downpour. Most importantly, there is far less build-up of humid moisture in the inside, as you'd get with neoprene gloves that, in general, offer the best water resistance. Sizing chart is dead-on, but I have long-ish, skinny fingers. Even so, pulling these on (and especially off) takes some time. But, as with race-fit jerseys, etc., this is to be expected; they're not too small, just form-fitting. For reference, my hands, at their widest diameter: 8.75 in/222mm; index finger: 3 1/8 in/80mm; hand length from wrist crease to tip of index finger: 7.5 in/190mm.

A note on sizing

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

L

I haven't had a chance to use the gloves so ignore the stars. Based on other review comments about finger length, and the fact I have a long/slender hand, I sized down to L from my usual XL. However the fingers were too short and I had to return. So stick to your normal sizing. For reference my fingers are 8.5" from wrist to tip.
