The Castelli Arenberg Gel 2 gloves have been created specifically for those bike rides when you want maximum padding. These cycling gloves would be excellent on the tough stretches of the Paris-Roubaix race thanks to a mix of several particular characteristics. First of all, the gel padding guarantees excellent cushioning and comfort. In addition, the Arenberg Gel 2 glove features the Castelli Damping System (CDS), which protects the median nerve and reduces the chance of developing numbness in the hands. Also, there is a silicone pattern on the padding for increased grip and control. There is a Velcro fastener at the wrist to allow you to adjust the fit just as you like it. The back of this cycling glove features micro-mesh material, which ventilates perfectly and keeps your hands cool and comfortable. On the thumb you will find a micro-suede nose wipe. With the Castelli Arenberg Gel 2 gloves, you won't get sore hands easily when going fast over rough terrain.
