Overview
What Makes the Castelli Espresso Glove in Clay Worth Reaching For?
The Castelli Espresso Glove in Clay is a warm-weather road cycling glove that steps up from the entry-level Entrata with a microsuede palm that delivers better grip and more refined feel against bar tape and hoods than standard padded fabric. Clay is a subtle, earthy tone that pairs naturally with neutral and nature-inspired kit without being loud, and it holds its color well through repeated washing. The slimmer profile keeps the glove from feeling thick between your hand and the lever, which makes a real difference over long days on rougher roads.
The mesh back panel vents efficiently in warm conditions and dries quickly when you get caught in light rain, while silicone finger grippers maintain contact with slick surfaces. A touch-screen compatible finger panel handles GPS and phone navigation without removing the gloves, and the velcro wrist closure keeps everything secure without bulk under a sleeve. Machine washable in sizes XS through XXL, made in Italy, the Espresso Glove in Clay is the everyday road and gravel glove that earns its keep in the kit drawer.

Good questions
Get to know Castelli
There's more to Castelli than this one product. Our Castelli page has the full Castelli lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Castelli page →How does microsuede compare to standard glove palm material?
Microsuede offers a softer, more refined feel against bar tape and hoods compared to basic polyester palm material. It provides better grip in dry conditions and a more premium tactile experience at a mid-range price.
How does Clay pair with typical cycling kit colors?
Clay is a warm, desaturated earth tone that pairs well with black, white, grey, and olive kit. It works particularly well with gravel-oriented kit that leans toward natural and muted colors.
Is the Espresso Glove the right step up from the Entrata V?
Yes. The Espresso adds a microsuede palm for better feel and grip. For riders who want to step further, the Arenberg Gel 2 adds gel padding and the Premio Evo adds CLARINO leather.
