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.
A great glove by Castelli, very good fit and comfortable.
Snug fit and very comfortable. I like that they are "pull on" and don't have straps.
Really like how these gloves fit. Not too much padding on the palm and really thin material on the back of the hand. I forget that I'm wearing them until I look down and think "dang, these are good looking mitts!"
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.
Perfect pull on gloves once I got the sizing right, they run a little small. Light weight and not too thick with padding.
Great for hot weather, but it's a bit challenging putting it on.
