Castelli updates the Roubaix 2 gloves adding exquisite CDS padding to protect your hands and a new Velcro wrist closure. Roubaix 2 is the softest glove providing maximum protection to riders traveling on such roads like the legendary Roubaix paving stones and other uneven areas of the sidewalk. CDS gel padding absorbs road vibrations by protecting the medial nerve and preventing discomfort associated with numbness which we all feel after a long stay in the drops. Breathable and moisture-wicking back and perforated fabric on the palms keep your hands cool on hot days.
