“Castelli has always been a favourite brand - obviously Italian women have been serious cyclists forever and demand the highest quality. This particular glove is brilliant for its complete lack of velcro (a material invented by Satan to torture wearers of lycra). So full marks to Castelli! The padding is not too thick, just enough to take the pressure off te hands.
PS. Would someone please persuade the major brands to stop using velcro fasteners - it wrecks lycra and merino jerseys.”
