When you need optimal cold and wet weather protection for your hands, Castelli offers you one of the most innovative and practical solutions we have seen to date. The development of the Boa Glove centers around sponsored Cannondale Pro Team feedback and race experience. How do you make a glove that not only keeps your hands and fingers warm and dry, but is also easy to take off and put on, which are crucial actions while riding when it is time to take in nutrition or simply get out out of wet clothing ASAP. Partnering with Boa Technology, Castelli designed a glove that employs a Boa dial/lace closure system that can be easily operated with one hand to create an ideal, adjustable fit, for riding in extreme conditions. Easy to put on and take, because the Boa closure allows the glove to open up wider at the wrist, the Boa Glove represents the best of the two companies and how each serves to address the specific requirements of cyclists.

If the Boa closure is the key to fit and overall performance, the OutDry fabric technology provides the essential insulation, rain and wind blocking, as well as the breathability that high-output cyclists require to wick away moisture. OutDry's lamination process is more than just a coating, but a treatment that bonds with the base materials to deliver complete water and wind proofing, with zero compromise in moisture transfer. While many processes claim such capabilities, OutDry delivers. It is also much more durable to usage, laundering and age than its competitors. The fleece based, layered fabric is warm and supple, and built into a glove that rides high onto the wrist, taking full advantage of the Boa closure to draw the fabric together all the way from the back of the hand through the long cuff. Essentially you get superior fit on the hands and fingers for precise handling and shift/braking requirements, as well as a comfortable, yet gasket like fit that sits high enough under jacket sleeves to keep all the cold and wet from getting to your skin inside the glove.

As for the palm and fingers, a durable sheathing protects against wear, and ensures grip through an extensive patterned silicone application on the palm, and vertical runs down the index and middle fingers, as well as on the underside of the wrist (think wrists resting on the bars). Castelli rates the Boa Glove from 32-46°F, in dry, wet, or worse conditions. At just 128 grams for a pair in a Medium, this is a true race-level product, and as such is designated a Rosso Corsa piece in Castelli parlance. if you are looking for a winter glove with the best protection, best comfort and fabric, incredible tactility, and the easiest use/best fit any glove available, you have found your target, the Boa Glove from Castelli.
