Thinking about buying some gloves for the colder mornings, been looking at the "Castelli Diluvio Gloves" but unsure which to buy, Does anyone own either of these gloves and which would you recommend?

    I got a pair of the basic Diluvios recently. The feel very nice to wear and are quite toasty -perhaps a little too toasty as, like anything made of neoprene, they very quickly end up smelling quite bad if you sweat at all. Washing gets them back to normal but it doesn't last.

    So if you are able to wash your hands after a ride no problem….

    I saw a pair of the Deluxe ones in Evans recently. Quite the most hideous pair of gloves I've ever seen! Really nasty, horrible things. I had to wash my hands after handling them!

    i had some, but even the largest size was too small

    the castelli estremo gloves are *much* better for the cold
