Some of the Castelli pro riders are always asking for maximum grip on the bars - important when you're setting up for a sprint at 70km/h. Adesivo means "adhesive" in Italian, and that's exactly what this glove feels like. The allover silicone print on the palm is extra sticky, and with the Velcro closure and limited-stretch fabrics, Castelli have built the rest of the glove to lock into place. They use medium padding so that the palm doesn't move around.
