Anyone with experience of Castelli winter/full fingered gloves, size wise/warmth wise? having tried on a pair (not sure which model) seem to come up small?

thanks

    I have a three pairs of Castelli gloves. I take a 6.5 in gloves and they size-up fine for small - I hate the floppy fingers and thumbs you get with some other makes
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    unless your measurement is at the lower end of the range for a size, i'd go up one - i don't have chubby fingers, if anything the opposite, but i find the fingers too tight if i choose by castelli's sizing chart

    i recently got a pair of the estremo winter gloves, size chart said xl, i got xxl and the fit was just right, they''re lovely when it's really cold
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    I just got the wool set and love them; snug, and pretty thick as well. Of course, a plastic or wind-proof liner is needed or your hands will freeze when you get up to speed or the wind starts blowing.
