CastelliMen's Perfetto RoS Glove(Return to Product Page)

These gloves are great for temps down to about 45F (7C) - lightweight but warm and water resistant with just a little bit of padding. Good PNW gloves for when it's chilly, wet but getting warmer through the day.

I just bought a second pair of these after 2 seasons I liked them so much. On my older gloves, the cuff eventually kind of shredded apart where you pull them on. They fixed that problem with an updated cuff. But the only downside with the updated version is that it is very tight which makes them a little hard to get on and off. In fact, as with almost all gloves when your hands are already cold and damp, putting these on can be frustrating. I'll still use them though - in the right temp range they're very good.

Look at other reviews of these gloves and you will see the same complaint: the finger lengths are very strange. The fingers are long to begin, but worst of all is that the index finger is longer than all the other fingers, and I don't know anyone who's hands are built that way. This makes the touch screen feature not very useable. It's too bad, because the material is perfect for riding on colder days and does a great job blocking wind while remaining breathable. The premium price is not worth it for a glove that fits this poorly.

Castelli Perfetto Gloves are by far the best protection for my hands in winter weather. I searched for years in hopes of finding gloves to protect my hands in cold weather. These Castelli gloves hit the mark perfectly; from days in the high 30's to mid 50's my hands are comfortable for hours

My hands don't tolerate cold well (Raynaud's). So I have to use lobsters with a liner in anything below 45 degrees. These cover me pretty well from 50 to 55, 45 to 50 with a very thin liner. They get a bit moist inside if it's too warm.

One issue is the length of the fingers. I have another pair of Castelli full-finger gloves (XXL) that fit, well, like a glove on my size 8 to 8.5 mitts. The Perfetto is an XL and extends off my fingertips between 5 and 10mm. The silicone grips are nice. Haven't tried them in the rain yet - but work well in a mist/fog situation.

This is my fourth pair of Castelli gloves and I'm very satisfied. They replaced a six year old pair of Scaldas, and the Perfettos are a real improvement. The have the right amount of cushioning, are easy to get on and off, and the fit is spot on. There so many options when it comes to cycling gloves, but I've been loyal to Castelli because the products always deliver and therefore the price is justified. If you're looking for a glove that will work well from high 40's to mid 50's this is the one.

Needed a glove for riding on 40-60 degree days, with occasional rain. My hands get cold quite easily, but these gloves have kept then comfortable when riding for several hours in temps down on the low 40's. And they do this while being very comfortable and affording excellent dexterity. Palms are slightly tacky and make gripping handlebars, brake hoods and water bottles a snap.

It's a bit of a struggle to don them, but that allows the cuffs to fit easily inside even snug jacket sleeves.

Wore for first time today in 38-42 degrees. Hands usually run warm and sweaty. Previously using cyclone gloves which always resulted in wet hand after, although they were warm. Manufacturer range is 39-57. Hands were never cold, no wind drafts and definitely drier at the end of the ride. Only issue was the fingers were long. The rest of the glove was appropriately sized according to the size chart.

They fit very well with good tactile feel thru the fingers. My disappointment was the lack of any wind protection for the back of the hands and fingers. Cold air/wind seem to cut right thru and turn your fingers/hands [mine anyways] ice cold, I suffer my 30+ years of sun/ozone exposure doing long distance races [double centuries and up] during which I never wore any gloves. Living in NCal and NV for this period contributed to my particular issue. Living now in upstate NY exacerbates my current hand issue.

Save for temperature variations I would still buy them.

I purchased large and exchanged for medium. I vary between medium and large. The fingers are too long even for the medium yet require some effort to get on the hand. Once on - and with a little bit of break in time - they are comfortable for the ride. The problem is they can be very difficult to remove if the hands sweat. They stick. I've even had to have my partner pull them off with two hands. That makes them difficult to remove mid-ride.

I will continue to use them though. Once on the hand, the keep fingers warm enough in 50F ambient temp. Grip is good on handlebars. The screen touch tips are useless.

Bought these for my husband after using the women's version. These are perfect for temps above high 40's - low 60's. They are flexible, comfortable, and provide good wind protection. They breathe well.

Works great at keeping my hands warm and dry in temperatures above 40 F. Can change gears easily. Would definitely recommend. Size seems about normal. I ordered a medium which is about right compared to other gloves I've purchased.

Great pair of gloves. Felt comfortable and light while riding. And the best of all, they kept my hands warm enough

My first Castelli glove, and I am impressed. Sizing chart was correct and it fits great - snug on the fingers without a lot of extra space at the tips for me. Got it on sale as an added bonus.

I really love the Perfetto line at Castelli

Well made & great fit

These gloves are very nice & feel great in use.

The Castelli Damping System on palms works well as does the

GoreTex infinium wind stopper fabric Nice!

These are comfortable but mo Perfetto. The description says windproof but I wore them on a day in low 50's and my hands got cold and i could definitely feel the wind.

However, I'm a little cold prone, so these will probably be comfortable to others if not prone to cold. Good fit although the index finger was a little long.

My hands vary in gloves between medium and large. I started with large and the fingers were too long. I returned for the medium. I can barely fit my hands into the medium gloves and still the fingers are too long. Also the phone touch surface on thumb and forefingers don't work and came out frayed.

fit so nice and just the right amount of warmth to dexterity ratio ive found in a winter glove. ive actually began to use them as my daily all purpose gloves because i like them so much. touch screen sensitive fingers dont seem to work (but that's all "phone sensitive" finger gloves and me)

I didn't have frozen fingers. Very comfortable

Overall great value, fits well, light and protects from wind and cold. Finger touch material is suboptimal unable to be used with an iPhone.

Some stitching came undone within the first few rides around the wrists. A good sewing kit took care of that damage. Finger tip material doesnt work for those of you with touch screen devices. Product did well in temps of 35 degrees thru 50 degrees.
