Forget about hand numbness and compromised control, the Competizione glove is your ultimate partner for a superior connection to your bike.Overview Description.The design philosophy behind the Competizione glove is one of intelligent balance. Castelli understands that for serious road cycling, too much padding can deaden road feel, while too little leads to discomfort and fatigue. This glove strikes that perfect equilibrium. The construction focuses on providing just the right amount of protection without any unnecessary bulk, ensuring you remain in complete control. The back of the hand features a highly breathable stretch fabric that promotes exceptional airflow, keeping your hands cool, dry, and comfortable even as temperatures soar on summer climbs. The fit is tailored for a woman´s hand, ensuring a snug, secure feel without any bunching or restriction of movement. Whether you´re sprinting for the line or settling in for a multi-hour endurance ride, this glove is built to perform. This is a raceable glove that offers excellent grip and just the right amount of padding.At the heart of its comfort-driven design is the renowned Castelli Damping System (CDS). This unique construction feature is strategically engineered to protect the median nerve, drastically reducing the pressure that leads to tingling and numbness in the hands during long periods on the handlebars. You can ride longer and harder with significantly improved comfort. The secure Velcro wrist closure allows for a perfectly customizable fit and makes the gloves incredibly easy to put on and take off, a small but crucial detail when you need to make quick adjustments.Bullet Points.* Synthetic palm with medium-density foam padding* Silicone grip pattern on palm* Velcro wrist closure for easy on/off* Stretch back of hand with excellent breathability* Castelli Damping System (CDS) to protect median nerveTechnical Specifications* Gender: Women* Discipline: Road Cycling* Style: Half finger* Weight: 44g (Pair)* Temperature Range: 15°-38°C / 59°-100°FProduct Care.To ensure the longevity and performance of your Castelli gloves, we recommend the following care instructions.
