Bengal Gel Unisex Cycling Gloves

Gel padding in the palm, breathable fabric on the back of the hand, and a snug unisex fit — the Santini Bengal Gel Cycling Gloves are built for riders who clock real kilometres in Indian conditions. Whether you're navigating Pune's morning traffic or grinding up a Western Ghats climb in 35°C heat, hand comfort and bar grip matter more than most riders admit until they're 80km in.

Use Cases

Daily training. Padded palms and wicking back for repeat use on training rides.

Long endurance rides. Vibration-dampening and grip support for full-day rides over rough Indian tarmac.

Cold weather riding. Insulated construction for Delhi winter and high-altitude rides.

Our Take

The Bengal Gel earns its place in hot-weather kits. Gel padding absorbs road buzz on India's uneven surfaces — a genuine concern on the chip-seal climbs of Lonavala or Ooty — while the breathable construction prevents the clammy, sweat-soaked grip that ruins long rides in humid conditions across Chennai or Hyderabad. At Rs. 4,295, this is a well-priced entry into Italian-made cycling apparel that simply does its job across seasons.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Santini uses European sizing. Indian riders with wider or fuller palms should size up one step from their measured hand circumference. The unisex cut runs true to a slightly narrow European last, so if you're between sizes, go larger for a comfortable fit on multi-hour rides in humid conditions. Measure around your dominant hand's knuckles for the most accurate match.

Compatibility Notes

Works across road, gravel, and endurance riding disciplines. Compatible with all standard drop-bar and flat-bar setups. Machine-wash at 30°C with mild detergent — hang dry, avoid tumble drying or fabric softener to preserve gel padding integrity and fabric elasticity over repeated washes.

Pairs Well With

Complete your contact-point setup with a well-ventilated cycling helmet, a breathable short-sleeve or sleeveless jersey, quality cycling shoes, and a sweat-wicking cycling cap for under-helmet comfort on India's longer climbs and summer rides.
