+1 on what Bones uses. I keep a set in my tank bag, and if it rains I just slip them on over my gloves. They work great.

Ok I read this thread, and now I'm curious. What is it about wet hands in summer bothers y'all? LOL

Be careful about buying the Olympia light weight gloves. I purchased a pair of the lighter vented (round vents in the fingers) black material gloves. A couple of weeks ago I rode through a light shower while crossing Oregon and when I stopped for gas I was surprised to find that my hands had turned black!!! My son's who came with me thought this was rather funny as I tried everything, but could not wash the dye off my hands. It took about 4 days and extended shower scrubbing to get it off. I returned the gloves to Cycle Gear when I returned home and bought a different pair.

+1 on the Aerostitch lobster claws. I let George use mine when the temps got chilly and he didn't have his electric gloves and he liked then so well, he bought two pairs. One for him and one for his son. They really keep ypur hands dry and warm down into the 30's.
