Title: keeping your hands dry
Post by: He Man on March 14, 2010, 06:33:12 PM
I have a pair of Gerbing heated gloves with a draw string on the gaunlet. It has a leather end on it and the only way i know how to use it is to litterally bite it with my teeth and use my other hand to tighten it.

Even then, water still seeps in. Is there any solution to this? My cuffs cannot go over the gaunlet.

Can the cuffs go inside the gauntlet?

I ride in rain with wet hands. My only semi rain glove is the A* with the Goretex windblocker. And it's only water resistant - whatever that means.

Otherwise if it's gonna rain and it's chilly out I keep a pair of nitrile gloves handy for under my summer gloves.

The only gloves that fit me are not waterproof so I ride with wet hands too. :-\

Glove covers (http://www.aerostich.com/off-and-riding/gloves/rain-glove-covers/aerostich-triple-digit-rain-covers.html) from Aerostich.com

Vulcans love 'em.   ;)

I've used these for years, but after a few hours they leak.  So will anything else.

Guy at the Frozen Snot Ride had a pair of lobster claw shells that folded up and tucked into the cuff of the main glove. I think he said it was Tourmaster but could be wrong. Something like that might be too bulky for summer riding but on the other hand you'd always have them with you.

its not the glove that isnt waterproof, is the water that seeps in from the cuff.
