- Castelli glove: very good workmanship, tight sporty fit, strong grip, precise touch control, ideal for frequent and fast rides.
- Tchibo glove: very affordable, solid wind protection, decent touch function, but large fit, noticeable seams, lower quality workmanship.
- Both models protect against wind and light rain in the transitional period; decision between comfort and precision vs. price and suitability for everyday use.

- Layered clothing based on the onion principle with a base layer, jersey, arm warmers, waistcoat and (rain) jacket allows you to adapt quickly to temperature fluctuations.  
- Long bib tights or leg warmers, long-fingered gloves, ear protection and foot splash protection ensure warmth, comfort and health on spring rides.
