Castelli Lightness 3 Glove – Lightweight Cycling Gloves for Spring and Autumn

The Castelli Lightness 3 Glove are cycling gloves designed to provide warmth, lightweight comfort, and protection during rides on cool autumn and spring days.

This updated version of the Lightness Glove features an improved fit, easier on-and-off functionality, enhanced grip, and refined padding.

Thanks to the Thermoflex thermal fabric on the back of the hand, the contoured palm with silicone print, and the Castelli Damping System (CDS) technology, these gloves combine thermal protection, handlebar control, and comfort while cycling.

They are recommended for temperatures between 12 and 18°C, making them particularly versatile in changing spring and autumn weather conditions.

Thermoflex Fabric: Warmth and Breathability

The back of the Castelli Lightness 3 Glove is made from Thermoflex, a brushed fleece thermal fabric designed to provide the right amount of warmth without causing excessive overheating of the hands.

The combination of thermal insulation and breathability helps maintain comfort during rides in cooler temperatures.

This feature makes the gloves particularly suitable for autumn and spring days when protecting your hands without sacrificing lightweight performance is essential.

Contoured Palm with Silicone Grip

The contoured palm is designed to provide a precise and comfortable fit when gripping the handlebars.

The silicone print enhances grip, helping maintain a stable and secure hold while cycling.

Compared to the previous version, Castelli has further improved the grip and refined the palm construction.

Castelli Damping System: Comfort and Control

The gloves feature the Castelli Damping System (CDS), a technology developed to reduce discomfort and occasional hand numbness associated with prolonged handlebar grip.

The system was developed by studying the areas of the hand most exposed to vibrations transmitted from the road.

The specially designed palm combines protective materials and shock-absorbing foam padding, helping absorb vibrations and improve comfort during training sessions or competitions.

The result is better handlebar control and enhanced comfort, even on longer rides.

Elasticated Cuff for Easy Wear

The Castelli Lightness 3 Glove features a highly elasticated cuff designed to make the gloves easier to put on and take off.

Combined with the updated fit, this design makes the gloves practical to use and contributes to overall comfort.

Lightweight Performance and Versatility for Road Cycling

With a 5/5 lightweight rating, the Castelli Lightness 3 Glove are an ideal choice for cyclists looking for thermal cycling gloves without unnecessary bulk.

The 4/5 wind protection rating, 3/5 waterproofness rating, and 3/5 thermal insulation rating contribute to the gloves' versatility in changing spring and autumn conditions.

Designed for road cycling, they combine the warmth of Thermoflex fabric, the grip of a silicone-printed palm, and the comfort of CDS technology, offering a practical solution for cycling on cooler days.
