Description
The Santini Tour De France Best Climber Unisex Cycling Gloves carry the polka-dot jersey's legacy onto your hands. Designed for cyclists who take their kit seriously, these gloves address the specific demands of Indian riding — sweaty palms on humid descents, grip on rough tarmac, and the relentless heat of a Pune or Hyderabad summer that makes every contact point count.
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
For riders chasing climbs in the Western Ghats or grinding up Ooty's switchbacks, the Best Climber edition is a satisfying nod to Tour de France heritage without sacrificing function. Santini's performance fabrics manage sweat well in 35°C+ conditions, and the polka-dot colourway means you'll stand out on any group ride. At Rs. 3,250 with free delivery above Rs. 2,500, this is a worthwhile upgrade from generic gloves.
Sizing for Indian Riders
Santini follows European sizing, which tends to run narrow in the palm. Indian riders — particularly those from Punjab or Maharashtra with broader hands — should measure hand circumference and size up if between sizes. In hot conditions, hands swell slightly, so a slightly looser fit improves ventilation and prevents a constrictive feel on longer rides.
Compatibility Notes
These gloves suit road, sportive, and gravel disciplines. They pair with standard drop-bar and flat-bar setups. Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent and hang dry — avoid fabric softener, which degrades technical fibre performance. Compatible with touchscreen use on most devices for navigation on the go.
Pairs Well With
Complete your climbing kit with a polka-dot or mountain-stage cycling jersey, a well-ventilated road helmet, lightweight cycling socks, and a UV-protective cycling cap for sun exposure on exposed climbs like Khandala or Coorg. All available at Cobbled Climbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Santini Tour De France Best Climber Gloves best used for?
These gloves are designed for road cycling — ideal for long sportive rides, climbing routes like the Western Ghats, Ooty, or Leh, and weekend group rides. The breathable construction handles heat well, making them a practical choice for Indian cyclists riding in temperatures above 30°C where grip and sweat management matter most.
What size should I order for the Santini Best Climber Gloves?
Measure your hand circumference at the knuckles and match to Santini's European size chart. Indian riders with wider palms should size up — European sizing tends to run narrower than expected. If you're between sizes, the larger option is more comfortable for rides lasting over two hours in Indian heat.
Will these gloves hold up in Indian heat and monsoon conditions?
Santini's performance fabrics prioritise breathability and moisture management, making them well-suited to India's hot, humid summers in cities like Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Pune. For monsoon riding, the quick-dry materials help, though these are not waterproof gloves. Dry thoroughly after wet rides and machine wash at 30°C to maintain fabric integrity.
How do these compare to standard unbranded cycling gloves?
Compared to generic cycling gloves, the Santini Best Climber edition uses cycling-specific performance fabrics with better sweat management and durability over repeated washes. The fit is shaped for time in the drops or on the hoods, rather than a generic flat profile. The Tour de France colourway also adds a heritage appeal that unbranded options cannot match.
Are these gloves worth Rs. 3,250 in India, and what warranty applies?
At Rs. 3,250, these sit in the mid-premium range for cycling gloves in India — justified by Santini's professional-grade construction and the Tour de France licensing. Cobbled Climbs is an authorised Santini retailer, so all products are 100% genuine. For warranty queries, contact Cobbled Climbs directly. Free delivery applies on orders above Rs. 2,500, with cash on delivery available nationwide.
