Criterium Du Dauphine Unisex Cycling Gloves

Cycling gloves are one of those items that quietly define your ride quality. The Santini Criterium Du Dauphine Unisex Cycling Gloves bring Italian craftsmanship to a fundamental piece of kit — offering grip, sweat control, and hand comfort whether you're grinding up the Western Ghats near Lonavala or spinning through Delhi's early-morning traffic. Cobbled Climbs is the authorised retailer for Time in India.

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

Named after one of cycling's most prestigious pre-Tour warm-up races, these gloves carry real pedigree. For Indian riding conditions — sticky humidity in Chennai, dusty descents in Pune, or scorching summer tarmac in Ahmedabad — a well-made glove handles grip loss and bar vibration before they become problems. Santini's cycling-specific cut keeps fabric from bunching, which matters on rides pushing beyond two hours.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Santini follows European sizing based on hand circumference. Indian riders, who often have wider palms relative to hand length, should measure carefully and consider sizing up if between sizes. In 35°C+ heat, gloves can feel tighter as hands swell slightly, so when in doubt, go one size larger for all-day comfort on longer rides.

Compatibility Notes

These gloves are suitable across road, endurance, and sportive disciplines. They are compatible with all standard drop and flat handlebars. Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent, hang dry — avoid fabric softener, which can degrade technical grip fabrics over time. Pair with Santini jerseys for a coordinated kit system.

Pairs Well With

Complete your riding setup by pairing these gloves with a lightweight cycling jersey, a well-ventilated road helmet, breathable cycling socks, and a quality cycling cap for sun protection on exposed climbs like Ooty or Khandala. All categories are available at Cobbled Climbs.
