Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Santini Criterium Du Dauphine Gloves best used for?
These gloves are designed for road cycling and endurance riding. They handle the key challenges of Indian riding — humid grip loss, bar vibration on rough tarmac, and sweat absorption during long efforts. They suit everything from Pune group rides to solo climbs through the Western Ghats, where hand fatigue over several hours is a real concern.
What size Santini gloves should I order?
Measure your hand circumference at the widest point of your palm (excluding thumb) and match it to the Santini size chart. Indian riders with broader palms often find European gloves snug, so if you fall between sizes, go larger. For rides in heat above 35°C, a slightly roomier fit also accommodates swelling during long efforts.
Will these gloves hold up in Indian heat and monsoon conditions?
Santini uses technical fabrics prioritising breathability and quick drying, which suits the intense heat of Indian summers in cities like Ahmedabad and Chennai. For monsoon riding, the materials manage moisture well during light rain. Machine washability at 30°C ensures they stay fresh after sweaty rides — a practical necessity for year-round Indian cyclists.
How do these compare to standard budget cycling gloves available in India?
Budget gloves typically use basic foam padding and generic fabrics that compress quickly and trap heat. The Santini Criterium Du Dauphine gloves use cycling-specific construction with a precise anatomical cut that prevents fabric bunching. The difference becomes clear on rides beyond 60km, where consistent grip and reduced hand fatigue matter more than upfront savings.
Are the Santini Criterium Du Dauphine Gloves worth Rs. 2,875 in India?
At Rs. 2,875 — which also crosses the free delivery threshold at Cobbled Climbs — these represent genuine value from a brand that supplies professional race pelotons. Quality gloves last two to four years with proper care, making the per-ride cost very low. Cash on delivery is available nationwide, so you can try them with zero payment risk upfront.
