CASTELLI Arenberg Gel 2 Short Gloves: Ultimate Comfort for Demanding RidesConquer the roughest roads and longest distances without a second thought for hand fatigue with the CASTELLI Arenberg Gel 2 Short Gloves. Named after the legendary and brutal Arenberg Forest cobbled sector of the Paris-Roubaix race, these gloves are meticulously engineered to provide maximum cushioning and superior protection. They are the ultimate solution for any road cycling enthusiast who experiences sore hands, numbness, or simply desires the highest level of comfort on any surface, from pristine tarmac to bone-shaking gravel and pavé.The heart of the Arenberg Gel 2´s unparalleled comfort lies in the proprietary Castelli Damping System (CDS). This scientifically developed system is engineered to protect the median nerve, strategically positioning padding to absorb vibrations and reduce the pressure that often leads to tingling and numbness during long rides. By distributing pressure away from this critical nerve channel, the CDS ensures your hands remain comfortable and functional, allowing you to maintain a secure grip and focus on your performance, not your pain.Created for those rides when you want maximum padding, whether you´re riding over rough terrain or you often suffer sore hands. Key Features:* Castelli Damping System (CDS): An innovative construction that protects the median nerve, significantly reducing hand numbness and discomfort on long or rough rides.* Gel Padding and Silicone Grip: High-density gel padding is strategically placed in conjunction with the CDS to absorb road shock. The palm is enhanced with a silicone grip pattern to ensure you have a firm, confident connection to the handlebars for optimal control.* Adjustable Wrist Closure: A secure hook-and-loop closure allows for a personalized fit, ensuring the gloves stay perfectly in place without constricting movement.* Micromesh Back: The back of the hand features a lightweight and highly breathable micromesh fabric, promoting excellent airflow to keep your hands cool and dry, even on the hottest summer days.* Microsuede Nose Wipe on Thumb: A soft, absorbent microsuede panel on the thumb provides a convenient and gentle surface for wiping away sweat. Performance and DesignThese half finger gloves are crafted to deliver pro-level performance with a focus on endurance. The durable synthetic palm is built to withstand countless miles, while the anatomical cut ensures a perfect, bunch-free fit when gripping the bars. Ideal for both men and women, the Arenberg Gel 2 is a truly unisex design that prioritizes function and fit for all riders. While its primary discipline is road cycling, its exceptional padding makes it a fantastic choice for gravel riding and cyclocross as well.
