Castelli Aero Race Gloves

Castelli Aero Race Gloves

Castelli’s obsession with aerodynamics even informs the design of their gloves. After all, they argue, your hands are the first part of the body that catches the wind. Castelli Aero Race Glove’s form-fitting smooth Lycra back and long slip-on cuff are designed to help you slice through that wind.

Castelli
Instantly recognisable for its scorpion logo, Castelli is a great cycle clothing company. Perhaps the greatest. The company was founded by Maurizio Castelli in 1974. His early innovations include Lycra shorts, the anatomic chamois and the sublimated-print jersey. Each of these innovations became (and remain) a ubiquitous emblem of road cycling.

Even before the company was founded, the Castelli family was feted by the tifosi. Maurizio’s father owned the famous Milanese sportswear company Vittore Gianni. Papa Castelli tailored Fausto Coppi’s racing wardrobe, from his silk skin suits to his woolen jerseys, throughout the Campionissimo’s reign in the 1940s & ‘50s.

Today, when you read about Castelli’s near-seamless Body Paint range or you recognise the scorpion logo on Team Garmin-Cervélo’s professional race kit, you will appreciate that Castelli, once again, are at the top of their game.
