Ideal for discerning cyclists seeking the ultimate in performance, control, and a perfectly coordinated look.The Espresso is more than just a glove, it´s an essential piece of equipment designed to enhance your connection to the bike. The core of its design philosophy lies in the Castelli Damping System (CDS). This proprietary feature was developed by analyzing key pressure points on the hand to create a unique palm construction that cradles and protects the median nerve. By distributing pressure away from this sensitive area, the CDS provides exceptional vibration absorption from the road, allowing you to ride further and more comfortably without compromising handlebar feel.Control is paramount in road cycling, and the Espresso glove delivers it with confidence. The palm features a unique combination of medium-density foam padding for comfort and a durable synthetic material with an extensive silicone grip pattern. This ensures your hands remain firmly planted on the bars, whether you´re climbing, descending, or sprinting, offering unwavering control in both wet and dry conditions. The half-finger design provides the perfect balance of protection and tactile feedback, allowing for easy operation of shifters and brake levers.Constructed with a lightweight and highly ventilated stretch mesh on the back of the hand, these gloves promote maximum airflow to keep you cool and dry on the hottest days. The anatomical, stretch-to-fit construction ensures a snug, second-skin feel without any bunching or restriction of movement. A microsuede panel on the thumb provides a soft surface for wiping away sweat, while the adjustable wrist closure guarantees a secure and customized fit for every rider.Key Features:* Castelli Damping System (CDS): Protects the median nerve to prevent numbness and enhance long-distance comfort.* Enhanced Grip Palm: Unique palm construction with medium-density padding and an extensive silicone print for absolute control.* Breathable Backhand: High-stretch, ventilated mesh fabric on the back of the hand for superior cooling and a flexible fit.* Secure Fit: Easy-to-use wrist closure for a secure and adjustable fit.* Coordinated Design: Engineered to perfectly match the colors and style of the Castelli Espresso collection.Attributes:* Finger Style: Half finger* Gender: Men* Safety: Reflective accents* Discipline: Road CyclingTechnical Specifications:* Temperature Range: 15°-38°C / 59°-100°F* Weight: 46 g (Pair)
