Waterproof gloves- Recommendations?

[STrep]

I ride in all sorts of weather however my current moisture resistant gloves are not up to the task in the rain.

What waterproof gloves do you recommend?
Have you had success with a rubber over-glove?
Any other suggestions?

Laugh all you want, but nothing beats these (http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Rain-Glove-Covers-p-16573.html) over your regular gloves.

[forgitaboutut]

+1 on the rubber overgloves...Although the ST keeps the hands pretty dang dry anyway..

[forgitaboutut]

I use surgical gloves inside my leather gloves

I've had a pair of Frey-Daytona Voyager golves since '03. As long as you tuck the inner gauntlet in properly, you can ride all day in a frog-strangler and your hands will stay dry.

They are similar to these: http://www.hideout-leather.co.uk/folders/motorcycle_gloves_waterproof/gloves_racer_pluvio_black_goretex/

The Daytonas were sold by Helmiot, but apparently not any longer. That inner gauntlet and drain at the bottom of the cuff is the key to gloves like these. They are heads and shoulders about the Aerostich Triple digits (which I have as well).

And like I said, make SURE you get that inner gauntlet tucked right. Rode from Kimberley, BC to Jasper, AB (Icefields Parkway) and it rained rained rained all the way up. When I stopped to pay the parque fee (Banff), I got rushed and didn't get it tucked quite right. My left hand was quite wet when we got to Jasper. Right hand was dry as a bone. Lesson learned: no matter HOW impatient a big back up of cars is getting when your at a toll booth..TOUGH! they can wait! :D

I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Not alpinestars Drystars...thats the one thing they are not. They are Hot, uncomfortable and turn inside out easy, but they are not dry....

I have a pair of Road Gear Boss that are bone dry no matter what I hit and a pair of light weight, summer fabric and fake leather gloves that dry fast from Icon in the summer

Olympia makes a pair of waterproof/windproof leather gloves. They are very well engineered with a curved grip on on the fingers. They are comfortable even when not raining.

I like these . http://www.aerostich.com/files/images/detailed/442_c2h.jpg

+1 on the Stitch triple digits... only problem I have is that the gauntlets on the Held Profi's are so large, getting everything tucked in under the liner on my GX air is a HUGE PITA... was hoping to find a cheap rain glove to wear, was looking at the Alpinestars until I read Mixon's post...

The Rain Offs (http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-gloves/waterproof-motorcycle-gloves/rain-off-gloves.htm)work for me.

I tried decoy gloves kinda by accident once and they are cheap and work pretty well if it is cool to cold outside. They are sold as neoprene duck decoy gloves that come up to your elbow. I think there were $6 at ChinaMart on sale last year, but are probably more than that regularly. They keep your hands really warm and dry, but they wouldn't work in the summer...hands would sweat too much...I think!

[copperhead]

The SO and I both have Olympia gloves. Living in upstate New York, they get alot of use. They are comfortable, not too warm, and serve their purpose very well.

Bones they work great, but they don't fit over my Gerbings gloves.

+1 on the RainOffs.

I really like the 1-finger/3-finger separation instead of the 2/2 combo, as I tend to cover the brake with 3 fingers, not 2.

These work great and are very well made.

I have yet to find a waterproof glove try these!

I have a pair of these from Firstgear....they work fine and don't look as gay as those blue gloves...they look like what your wife wears washing dishes. :D

They have a nicely textured palm and fingers so they aren't slippery.
With a liner glove like these rather than a pair of gloves underneath they are plenty dry and warm. If you want a little more protection though you can get them large enough to go over regular gloves.

Superior Glove is a Dupont certified manufacturer of Thermolite® Gloves. Thermolite® gloves are made of a unique hollow-core fibre that wicks perspiration away from your skin, while the inner layer remains warm and dry. They have fast evaporation rates - dries 50% faster than cotton. Also shrink-resistant, machine-washable, extra soft for non-chafing comfort, plus high thermal insulation. Thermolite is a registered trademarks of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. Available in Black or White.



Regardless of what glove makers or others claim, I have found personally over 30 years of riding that this is the only way to have dry hands.

I can't go through the disappointment of buying yet another non-waterproof waterproof gloves. I have had most of the ones listed thus far in this thread and the only thing that works for me is the over gloves. As an added bonus you get to look like a smurf.

[NCrider]

I have Joe Rocket Balistic that I gave ~$10 dollars for at Newenough on closeout.
Have ridden in a LOT of rain, for hours, never once leaked.

Even though they are only lightly lined they do get warm, no airflow.
Only regret is that I didn't get a bigger size so they would fit over my regular gloves.

They are also great for keeping my hands warm in the winter, no airflow = warm.

To keep my hands dry I just spray them with Scotch Guard. Works really well.
The only drawback is it has to be reapplied occassionly. Well, that and the waiting 24 hrs. for them to dry completely.

Triple digit rain covers are great, easy on and off over any style glove.

I use cheap leather gloves from HF for wet days.

[Stump]

I use sailboat gloves, specifically those for a helmsman because they have a reinforced palm with grippy stuff.

I also carry powder sking overgloves for a just "case".

Not if you use the ones I posted !!

I have these. They work, but are uncomfortable, the material in the bend of the digits isnt angled right, or something. Plus, if you have large hands, you will have a hard time getting over anything but the thinnest of gloves.

If you have a farm and home center, or a tractor supply near you, you might look for these. I have them, and they are absolutely water proof, and will keep your hands pretty warm. The texture on the palm and fingers could be better, but it isnt bad.
