Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Gloves. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Castelli Perfetto Light Gloves.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Castelli Perfetto Light Gloves is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Gloves. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Gloves. Brands like Castelli are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Gloves category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Gloves.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Castelli Perfetto Light Gloves Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Castelli Perfetto Light Gloves reviews there.

This keeps weight low and bulk to a minimum while still keeping the elements out and also ensures you have excellent dexterity for confident gear changing, braking and a solid grip of the bars. Minimal seams boost comfort, while the silicone grip on the palm prevents slipping when conditions are damp. With the Castelli Damping System (CDS) also present, pressure on the median nerve is dissipated and long rides can be ticked off in comfort. For cool weather and changeable conditions, you can’t go wrong with the Perfetto Light Gloves.Features:Material: 100% PolyesterEngineered with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ Stretch Light fabric and reduced-seam technologyLight weight for maximum dexterity in mild conditionsCastelli Damping System (CDS) protects median nerveReflective detailsSilicone zones on palm for extra gripTouchscreen technology at fingertipWeight 41 grams (Large)Suggested Temperature Range: 8 to 14 Degrees CBuy Castelli Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.
