Today I found myself in my first real toad choker - the rain was coming down so hard it was bouncing off the pavement for my whole 45 minute drive home from a mc breakfast. On the two lane state route visibility was so bad I just followed the car's taillights and kept back as far as I could and still see them. When I got to the interstate, the higher speed blew a lot of the rain off my visor (a mixed blessing - it also found all the weak points in my jacket and pants) and I could see better. Frogg Toggs here I come....
My Firstgear gloves, advertised as 100% waterproof, are indeed waterproof. The rain dripped down my sleeve and the gauntlet funneled the water into the gloves. None leaked out. All my fingers were wet in short order.
How do you wear your gauntlets when it is raining? Inside the sleeve or outside? I had thought wind would drive the rain up the sleeve if it overlapped the glove - and never thought about water dripping down the sleeve into the gauntlet.
