Light weight isn't a good description for these gloves, more like flimsy. I don't think they will last more than a couple of months, I'm sure they will eventually rip from just putting them on. Of course I should know by now, ALL Castelli products seem to run on the small size, you need to always order a size up. My palm measured 9", well within the the Large size chart of 8.7"-9.4", but they are extremely hard to put on and tight to wear. There is no way I could get them off if I was sweaty. I gave them to my wife and will probably not by Castelli anything in the future, too expensive and not that durable.
I like these for short to medium rides. The padding is arranged like on the Arenberg gloves, but much thinner. I like that there is no Velcro closure. They just pull on and off. Can be a little tough to get off if really sweaty.
The true quality of a glove is a combination of comfort and durability. I haven had them long enough to address durability, the glove is very comfortable though. They fit snug with plenty of cushion so they feel streamline and comfortable. It is a very good looking glove as well. I love the color.
I've ridden with this glove two or three times and find it to be comfortable in all respects. When I first took them out of the bag, I thought they would never fit. Once I realized they were designed to stretch, they were fine. I ordered Medium and they fit my hand well (7.75" around widest point). They are very light, so durability may be an issue longer term, but I don't really anticipate a problem.
