{"product_id":"tdf-grand-depart-barcelona-gloves","title":"TDF Grand Depart Barcelona Gloves","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Santini TDF Grand Depart Barcelona Gloves carry the prestige of cycling's grandest race to your hands. Designed for performance riding in hot, sweaty conditions, these gloves address the grip, sweat absorption, and sun protection challenges that Indian cyclists face on long rides — whether you're climbing the Western Ghats, riding Ooty's switchbacks, or grinding through a Chennai summer morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantini built these gloves around the Grand Départ in Barcelona — and that race-day DNA translates directly to Indian riding. In 35°C+ heat, a quality glove separates a confident, controlled ride from a slippery, fatigued one. The lightweight construction keeps your hands cool on Lonavala climbs or Hyderabad weekend rides, while the performance fabrics manage sweat without bunching. At Rs. 3,650, these are a practical upgrade that pays off on every ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantini gloves follow European sizing based on hand circumference. Indian riders often have wider palms relative to hand length, so sizing up one step is generally a good call — particularly if you're between sizes. In high heat, fingers can swell slightly on long rides, so a snug-but-not-tight fit at rest is ideal. Always cross-reference Santini's official size chart before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese gloves work across road, gravel, and sportive disciplines. They are compatible with all standard drop-bar and flat-bar setups. Machine washable — follow the care label guidance (typically 30°C, mild detergent, hang dry). Avoid fabric softener, which degrades technical moisture-management fabrics over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a complete kit, consider pairing these gloves with a breathable short-sleeve cycling jersey, a well-ventilated road helmet, UV-protective cycling arm sleeves for long sun-exposed rides, and performance cycling socks that wick sweat in humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/santini\"\u003eExplore the full Santini collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.santinicycling.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLearn more at Santini\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Santini retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat are the Santini TDF Grand Depart Barcelona Gloves best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThese gloves are designed for road cycling in warm, demanding conditions — making them well suited to Indian rides where heat, humidity, and sweat management are constant challenges.
