CastelliEstremo Glove(Return to Product Page)

These gloves are perfect. Not too hot, but very warm on the freezing mornings. Easy on and off.best winter gloves I have had.

If I had a nickle for every pair of gloves I've purchased I'd be rich! I struggle finding full-fingered gloves that fit - sometimes the fingers in the womens gloves aren't long enough. And I struggle finding gloves that keep my hands warm in the 30-40 deg temps (I have heated gloves for colder than 30 deg). I was wearing a pair of Castelli Womens cw 4.0 Donna gloves however they're no longer being made. The gloves fit, well, like a glove. Castelli tends to run small so in a womens glove I order a large. And sometimes in womens gloves they're wimpy, as if women won't ride when it's cold so sometimes I'll order mens gloves. Based on the sizing charts and comments that the Estremo gloves run small, along with Castelli's trend to run small, I decided to go with a mens medium and the fit was perfect. However, there were a couple of features I didn't care for, hence, only a 3-star rating. The finger length is spot on however there's probably a 12 of insulation at the fingertip ends so getting that finger feel is missing. It's also awkward getting them closed at the wrist and underneath the jacket cuff. The cuff is a very tight fit so not much if anything fits underneath it. Plus the loftiness at the end of the fingertips makes for a time-consuming closure. The gloves are warm, no doubt, and I do plan to wear them but they won't be my go-to when the temps are in the mid-30s.

...for wet temperatures in high 30's or low 40's degrees. Hands stayed dry but wish they were warmer. I guess that's the trade off with more dexterity in the fingers.

They fit perfectly and are good from the mid-thirties through the forties. Not good for me in cooler temps. It would be nice if the cuffs were larger so that the jacket sleeves could be tucked in but, they work.

I use this gloves when temperature is 38 degrees up to 50 degrees while riding my bike.

The gloves are very well made. Keep my hands warm even in sub 30F weather. I found my hands to be warm and sweaty even after a couple of hours.
