According to Giro, the Riv'ette CS Glove is the lightest full finger glove they've made to date, catering to riders that prefer a minimalist glove with no excess bulk. By using the finest Italian-made Gradient stretch-woven back hand fabric, Giro is able to achieve a compressive feel that's almost like wearing no gloves at all. In addition to this airy back hand material, Giro incorporates a Cool Skin microfiber palm that's both lightweight and breathable, but also remarkably tough. This makes the Riv'ette CS an ideal choice when temperatures start to soar and you need maximum control with great bar feel.
