Perfetto RoS Glove - Men's

Touch Screen doesn't work

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

Small

This was a waste of money for me since I already had good warm gloves that wasn't t ouch screen and was looking to upgrade to a touch screen glove. Castelli's website says it's touch screen but it doesn't even slightly work so if you're purchasing it specifically for the touch screen, you can forget it. Other than that, the glove is great at keeping my hands warm in cool weather and I like how tight the cuffs are. A little longer at the finger tips but I can deal with that. False advertising causing me to waste my money on these gloves, don't be fooled! If the touch screen worked, it would have been a 5 star for me, but it's the only reason I bought it, so this rating is partially for this company charging for returns unless it's store credit and for Castelli's false advertisement on those touch pads at the finger tips that does work.

Good glove for the money

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I have only used these once but they fit good on my hand and kept my hands warm. Only downsides are the cuff on them is a bit too tight and hard to get over my jacket sleeve. And you cannot operate your cell phone with them on. They appear to have some kind of material on the pointer finger that I thought was for cell phone use but it does not work. Overall though a good glove for the money.

Run way tight

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

Medium

I had a feeling this would be the case, since all Castelli gear runs small. But I measured my hand diameter multiple times, and I was supposed to be a "Medium". These are comically small. I am probably an XL. I am offended that I have to pay $6 to return a pair of gloves. Backcountry needs to review that policy, it's borderline unfair. Otherwise, my next purchase is going into Bezos' pocket.

Great gloves for cool weather

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I have average size hands.. The large fits tight, but that's what I want. Just take a little effort on and off, but are perfect when on. These are good for mid 30s to mid 40s. Solid grip on the bars. I wear large for a gloves.

Great mild weather gloves

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Comfortable gloves and good build quality. Great for weather down to the upper 30s as Castelli claims. Could go a bit lower if you are riding hard. They shed light rain but do wet out during moderate to heavy rain. Pads on the palms are much more grippy, flexible, and effective than the Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gloves which I returned. The only reason I am docking a star is that the fingers are a bit long for me.

Good for cool but not cold weather rides

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

These gloves are thin and after a few rides I can say that they're not going to keep my hands warm below about mid-30s F. They're sold as winter gloves, but I guess that's relative to what winter weather is where you live. In northeast USA, winter riding means getting outside when it's well below freezing. I was hoping for a glove that would be warm down into the mid- or upper-20s F. I consider my hands average for my size and the XL fits pretty well except the fingers are a bit long - better long than short, I guess. Not a bad glove, but I was hoping for something a bit warmer.

Light and great

These are thin enough to allow operation of gears and grab your snacks without issues but I have used them in 42F weather and did not feel cold at all The gloves are snug and comfortable Highly recommend

Impressively Warm!!

Several times I have worn these gloves down to 30F and even a little below and hands are comfortable. My hands start off on the cool side but after a few miles and the blood gets flowing things are toasty and stay toasty. I haven’t even broke out my heavier gloves at this point as these are more comfortable in the long run. I would think they are good down to about 25F actual temp but that might be their limit. Just don’t think they would be able to retain the warmth after that. They also held up well in a recent crash to my surprise. Just a little scrape on a knuckle. Replaced them the same day though as I don’t see not having these in my arsenal. Spectacular gloves!!! Gloves can be a little tight getting into at the cuff but besides that I’d say they might run slightly big. I’d love to go down a size to get arid of some extra finger length but don’t think I’d get in them.

Not Suited For Cold Weather

Wore them today and had to turn around after 16 miles, it was around 40 degrees outside. After 8 miles I could not feel the handlebars and had a hard time shifting. No insulation and going downhill I could feel the cold air. Hope to be able to return them
