Castelli - Espresso GT Glove - Gloves tested

Very well made. Obviously a quality product, specially designed for cycling. Very good fit, with superb gripping provided by the rubber grip on the palm and fingers. Comfortable to wear either when riding a bike or otherwise. Waterproof and wind proof. I wore these in the recent cold spell here in the uk at about -2 to 4 Celsius. I would dispute the claim on the website that they will keep hands warm at minus 4 . My hands were cold at 2 degrees. Otherwise they are a lovely glove but I would increase the insulation slightly to keep the hands warmer at low temperatures. The zip closure is good, the soft material and close fitting around the wrist when zipped up is good. They are slightly stretchy so will accommodate most hands
I think. Overall 8/10. 2 points taken off for the fact that they do not keep hands warm at minus 4 , for me they kept my hands warm at about 5 degrees, maybe other people will find them warmer. I am 62, in reasonable health and cycle daily in all weathers apart from when there is too much ice and rain.
