What Makes the Castelli Competizione 3 Glove in Black the Right Race-Ready Summer Glove?

The Castelli Competizione 3 Glove in Black is a true raceable summer glove built around the qualities that actually matter on hard rides: solid palm grip, just enough padding to take the edge off road buzz, and a breathable back of hand that vents heat instead of trapping it. The palm uses a synthetic leather with medium-density foam padding and a silicone grip pattern that holds the hoods through sweat and the kind of mid-summer heat that turns lesser gloves into a slip-and-slide. Velcro wrist closure means a secure fit that adjusts to your hand and gets on and off without fighting it after a hot ride.

Inside the palm is Castelli's CDS (Castelli Damping System), the same median-nerve protection found in the higher-tier Rosso Corsa Pro family, mapped to absorb steady road vibration and reduce hand fatigue on long efforts. The back of the hand uses a stretch fabric construction tuned for breathability and freedom of movement, with Castelli's signature scorpion badge on the closure tab. Black is the safe, professional choice that pairs with any kit and hides bar tape transfer better than lighter colorways. Sold as a pair.

FAQ

How does the Competizione 3 compare to the Rosso Corsa Pro?

They share the CDS palm protection system but target different priorities. The Rosso Corsa Pro is the aero-and-crash-protection race-day glove with Aero Race 8S back fabric and a Dyneema palm. The Competizione 3 is the value-tier race-ready glove with synthetic palm, silicone grip, and Velcro closure. Same Italian build quality, different mission. Most riders are better served by the Competizione 3 unless they specifically need aero benefit and crash protection.

How much padding does the Competizione 3 actually have?

Medium-density foam at the palm, paired with the CDS pad targeted at the base of the hand where the median nerve passes through the wrist. Enough to take the edge off road vibration and bar pressure on a four hour ride, not so much that you lose feel for the hoods. The glove is designed for raceable feel first, comfort second.

Is this a true summer glove or a shoulder season option?

True summer. The stretch back of hand is built to vent heat, not retain it, and there is no insulation. For cool morning starts or shoulder season, look at the Castelli Perfetto RoS Glove or the Perfetto Max Glove instead.

Best For

Road and gravel riders looking for a serious raceable summer glove that combines Castelli build quality and CDS palm protection without the price jump of the Rosso Corsa Pro. The right choice for training, group rides, and weekend race days where grip and just-enough padding matter more than aero gains.
