WATERPROOF Glove Suggestions

[lyonsden]

I would like suggestions for WATERPROOF gloves that anyone is using and are convinced that they are WATERPROOF. I purchased some water resistant gloves and was riding on the highway and I would say they worked reasonably well. We then were riding through Yellowstone in a pretty good rain at about 40 mph for almost 2 hrs, temps in the lower 40s and my hands got wet and cold. Suggestions would be appreciated. I'm looking for myself a Christmas present. Thanks, John

I hate to admit this...
I just continue to wear my normal gloves, and add one of those cheap sets of poly outer-gloves over the top of them...
Cheap, effective, and they dry quickly for storage.

Actually Santa does ryde a Spyder though, so he likely stays in touch here too. ;-)

I wear a long gauntlet style of gloves that are also insulated with thinsulate.

Was caught in the rain last evening on my way home, and the only thing wet was my ego.

You can often spray a product like the ones 3M make, or a Scotch Guard, to help make your regular gear very water resistant. But water proof, you may like to search for some breathable material like Gortex fibre. There are several reputable makers out there today. I usually go into an outdoor outfitter or hunting supply store like Cabellas. Just to shop around. Seeing the new...
Bike shops too. ;-) we have our own glove makers up here so, can't really refer a brand name that you can find.
Ah, try any of your nearest sporting good retailers who carry UnderArmour products too.

I used to SCUBA a lot and for my drysuit I have some replaceable neoprene gloves that were about 5mm in thickness. stretchable, and truly waterproof fingers and wrist seal.

Something like this...

Look up Seal Skins gloves you won't be disappointed.

You could also use water or snow ski gloves too. ;-)
Gives you a dual purpose pair.

Just as long as they do not interfere with your regular hand functionality of controls.

For cold and wet try Head snowmobile gloves available at Costco. I love mine

I did similar after my "dousing" in a 3 hour Noahs Flood type of rainstorm. We were very happy to find a coffee hut with a wood fire going in the lounge. We took almost two hours to drink a couple cups of hot chocolate.

We bought snowmobile waterproof gloves from our Can Am dealer when we got back from that trip.

Nothing is worse than getting soaked through to the skin. Fortunately, the First Gear textiles were working well.

I found some fisherman's gloves (neoprene) at Wal-mart that worked well. The snowmobile suggestion was a good one too, if you are like me it will come down to the best thing available in your area.

The only thing that I find that works are to put on some black latex/neopene gloves over your gloves. The palms don't last very long though.

I use these here in New Zealand, Im sold on them, everything they claim to be works for me.

I wear glove covers, which are totally waterproof but reasonably thin vinyl.. That way I can wear them over summer glove, mid weather gloves or winter gloves as the occasion arise and protect all the gloves, be comfortable and be waterproof.. My dealer turned me on to these.. I love them.. they come in orange and black

I use the Rev'it X-Trafit gloves. These motorcycle gloves are truly waterproof and do not have an inner liner that pulls out with damp hands. The only down side is the cost.

Some times living up north has it's advantages. I use an insulated WATER PROOF glove made by ICEARMOUR, They are used for ice fishing. They claim you can put glove into ice cold water and hands stay dry. I use them all the time in cool to way below freezing temps heavy rain etc. Hands stay dry and warm I purchased mine at FLEETFARM here in Minnesota.

The ice-fishing gloves from Wal-Mart fit over my summer-weight gloves. It's an inexpensive way to go until you find just the right "proper" gloves.

we wear whatever gloves we are riding in (temp dependent, of course). Then have Aerostich' lobster over-gloves for heavy rain. Dry, warm, comfy. Been doing this for years. Happy campers!

I use Rain-Off gloves as it means I can just put them over my summer or winter motorbike gloves. They actually keep your hands warmer as well, often use my summer gloves with these in winter as that gives me better feel than just having my winter gloves on. Having tried out many different options over the years and these the most affective + I've not had any issue with the feel of controls unlike a couple of other makes of over gloves I've had in the past. I use the 2 finger ones but they have one finger ones as well - that sounds wrong but you'll get the idea:-)

New Zealand product but there are stockists in Australia, US and UK.

I'm guessing the prices are in New Zealand dollars on their site.

+1. Have had these for years, along with frog toggs for over the boots. I have literally ridden through hurricanes and a major nor'easter and stayed mostly dry.

I use regular medical inspection gloves... CHEAP & COMPLETELY WATERPROOF.. disposable too.

Thanks everyone for lots of great suggestions. Now if I can just decide which ones to try. Thanks again!
