CastelliMen's Estremo Glove(Return to Product Page)

I've used Craft Siberians for years, gone through several pairs. But as their warmth and quality/durability has declined, I gave these a try. I am well satisfied with their construction and I'm really happy with their warmth! Riding in Michigan Winter is not only cold- it's wet, too. These gloves handle both better than any I've had. Two hours in a 34 degree mist/sleet/snow last Sunday and my hands were fine. Proof, pudding, etc. Worth the extra money 'cuz they let me ride. Only gripe is that the thumbs are too long; rest of the fit is nice and snug.

I bought these gloves because they are rated for as low as 23 degrees. I wore yesterday, it was 38-40 degrees and my fingers were FREEZING cold on a short 30 mile ride. I am very disappointed not only because I spent a lot of time looking for a good cold weather biking glove but cost was $90. I have ski gloves that work just as well and I bought for $30.VERY DIASAPPOINTED!!!!!

Just purchased these gloves and have worn them four times in mid 30-40 F temps. Nice and warm for my usually cold blooded hands. I have trouble finding any gloves that can keep my hands warm, so I usually use mittens. I am pleased I purchased these gloves! I have even used them on my moped with great results.

Things I would change would be to make a tab to help open the very aggressive Velcro. Also, remove the scorpion sticker from the palm since it is slippery on the handlebars. And if the liners are not sewn into the glove, I would make them so since the liners tend to stick to sweaty hands and want to pull out of the glove when I remove my hand.

The men's medium fit my hand well. I usually wear women's size large gloves.

Highly recommend these for those with always cold hands.

These gloves have it all including some flashy nomenclature. Excellent insulation. Gore's liner works great are keeping the elements at bay too.

Most cold weather gloves are very bulky and the colder it gets the grip gets worse. These have neither of those problems. Highly recommend them, be careful on sizing, they run small

Having done several rides that started in 18F and ended in the high 20s, these gloves will keep you warm. Does a wonderful job of keeping the winds in check. After 5 miles any sweat from your hands are wisks away keeping your hands dry. I got a medium. It is snug to the fit and the overall size is bulky but flexible enough that I never lost any feel for the brakes even on the drop.

My hands are always cold so its hard to find the perfect winter riding glove. I dont like lobster claws and these work reasonably well for me down to about 30 - or lower if the ride is not too long. I ordered a size up and wear silk liners. That is the best combo for warmth and dexterity that I have found These are my second pair.

I love them thick warm supple and very comfortable! I ride with a death grip on my handlebars and these do me nicely comfort in the cold without Popsicle fingers!

I bought these gloves for winter commuting in Chicago. I have worn then down to the lower teens, very comfortable and warm. They are bit pricey but they are the right balance between warmth and bulk, they are very light and have good grip. The extended cuff works great keeping wind out of my sleeves. Definitely wind proof, plenty of Chicago wind to test that.

The only thing I would like to see improved is to make the fingertips compatible with touchscreens.

Ive used these on three, 3-hour rides in temps from 25-45F and they have worked perfectly. Not too bulky for di2 shifting, and plenty warm. Very grippy palms and fingers. Great balance between insulation and breathability. Not touchscreen compatible. Sizing runs true.

warm for early winter mornings, easy to shift and break. size up on for LF gloves

Really warm gloves for how thin they are. I ordered my standard size and they fit perfectly. A couple of damp rides in the low 40's and these performed flawlessly. Up into the low 50's they get really warm however. The only downside is how tacky they are against my lizard skins dsp tape. Sliding your hands is a no go, you need to release your grip completely in order to reposition.

These are well made and seem to be warm enough but they have no capacity to use a touch screen, which is a must for me when cycling. As much as I hated to I had to return them.

Let me preface with the fact that I'm the type of person who gets cold fairly easy. When I saw these gloves rated for 23 - 40, I thought I give them a try. Unfortunately, it does work that well for me. My finger feels cold riding in any temperature below 45.

I've used mittens in the past and it seems to work better than gloves. Also, with mittens, I can put in hand warmers to provide direct heat to my fingers.

I use these for my winter cycling. Gloves fit great & will allow for a liner glove if needed. There is nothing that I don't like about them.

Like most good gear these are pricey but they have solved my freezing fingertip problem as well as not being to tight or loose. I like the fit and these appear to be very well crafted. I'm a huge fan of Castelli and these did not let me down. I have avoided colder riding because of glove issues and these have solved those problems.

I do not like riding in the cold so I needed a pair of gloves that would keep me warm. They are a little bulky but I was able to shift and brake without a problem. Texting not so much.

Definitely warm, down to at least mid-40's F and probably below that, yet with the dexterity needed to work the brakes and shifters. I have some XC skiing gloves which are very warm but too clumsy for cycling. And mittens, which would be even warmer, offer even less dexterity. Be aware that insulated gloves like these can't work on touch screens.

I was looking for a glove warmer than my lighter-weight pair and not as warm as my extremely warm lobster pair, and this fit the bill. Plenty warm for the 30s [in fact, almost too warm for upper 30s], maybe down into the upper 20s, but allowing for good dexterity. The cuff seems overly long, but it makes for easier velcro fastening and unfastening.

Cycling in the cold and rain of PDX makes a good set of gloves a must. The castelli estremo glove has kept my hands warm enough to enjoy rides in the less than ideal winter weather in Portland. The fleece liner is soft and warm, the closure around the wrist holds secure, there is ample grip on the palm and fingers so you can keep hold of the handlebars in wet and rainy conditions.
