We rode in the rain the entire weekend of DackSTOC and my so called waterproof gloves were not up to the challenge. What do you use?
 
Yep...the aerostich triple digit rain covers work great and they are long enough to go over your heated gloves in the winter.
 
I used some Dry Rider raincovers that had a drawstring.

They kept coming loose.

Some people carry surgical gloves to cover their gloves and others wear them underneath, so they can have 10 prunes when they're through riding.:D :04biker:
 
Very little abrasion resistance but they are dry! Wore these laST year in the monsoons and snow on the way to OR.

I've used the blue over gloves from Aerostich. They work, but only fit over relatively thin gloves, and the don't breathe at all, so your gloves may end up getting wet from the inside out.

I currently have a pair of RoadGear H20 gloves. They've kept my hands dry in long light rain, and short, heavy rain. Haven't had the opporunity to try them in long, heavy rain.
 
Dishwashing gloves are good, plus they give you good visibility. On the downside, they look absolutely ridiculous.
 
Most "waterproof" gloves I've found are cordura or similar synthetic fabric.I prefer the protection of leather.Aerostich sells Nikwax which will waterproof leather for while.Don't use too much on the palms or under the fingertips,it will affect grip some if you do.For long rain rides I use heavy chemical resistant gloves(like garbage men wear).You can find them at hardware stores.They slip over gloves very easy(lined with a thin layer of fabric),are available in BLACK and eventhough they feel slick when dry they get very grippy when wet.Lastly,always carry a second pair of gloves to change into when the rain stops(I usually wear my older"spare" pair when it looks like rain).:04biker:

That's half the fun...helps keep your attitude positive while riding in rain.
 
I wear SPIDI Sport Composite Touring H2Os.

They are VERY COMFORTABLE the first time I put them on and I feel protected wearing them at speed.

They are VERY well made and do not look like snow gloves.

They do not give me hand craps and I have no trouble feeling the controls or feeling for my jacket zipper.

I added a bit of silicone to them just to hedge my bet's.

I have had JR waterproof gloves and Hein-Gerike and they aways made me feel like I was just wearing snow gloves. Not much protection. And they ALL LEAKED after an hour:mad:

I am just sorry that I did not discover SPIDI gear sooner:(

Slowly but surely all my gear will be SPIDI gear.
