• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Gloves

I found a pair at a BMW dealer a few years ago and they were the closes thing to waterproof that I have ever found. Now for the bad news....I lost them and for the life of me, I can't remember what they were called. :gaah:I got them on sale for about $60.00....if that helps.
 
Walmart Ice fishing gloves

They a few sizes left online and sure you would have to wait for the fish icefishing season to start before they have a full contingency of sizes amazing gloves. Around 12 $15. And I always have a pair of ugly dishwashing gloves in my pack just in case!!!
 
Dang good idea, I think I'll toss an extra large pair of Solvex gloves in with the Frogg Toggs if I can't find an extra large pair of dishwashing gloves in blue.

I never would have thought of looking for ice fishing gloves... I guess you have to be a bit farther north to find them in Wally World.

Find yourself some thinner, tighter fitting gloves or glove liners. Go to farm and fleet or Menards type store and get a set of rubber gauntlet style glove used for handling chemicals. Mine are wells and Lamont brand. The combination is perfect for cool weather with the liners. The gauntlet fits over your rain suit sleeves. The rubber gloves have a grippy texture on the palms.
 
BRP has some snowmobile type that are waterproof. I have a pair of them and they work well for riding in deluges.
 
I bought a pair of Firstgear gloves about 10 years ago that are leather with a water proof liner, still use them today. And no the leather did not rot out, looks good as new.

I found the Firstgear web site but they don't mention where to purchase so I assume you have to find a shop that sells Firstgear. Looks like some real quality stuff that they have.

Thanks

I use a cover made by McMoto Centric. They're not pretty, they're tough to pull up over your jacket cuffs, and they don't breathe... :gaah:
But my paws stay dry, and that's what matters! :thumbup:
 
I have had a pair of Goretex gloves about a year and, half and have went through some downpours, and they stayed dry on the inside. The first time I got soaked I thought the gloves were ruined but the outside dried out just fine. Paid $54.00 for them.

Try Revzilla.com. They sell a lot of Firstgear stuff, and and are great people to deal with.

I was thinking BajaRon sells FirstGear products...am I correct? He's a sponsor here and usually has unbeatable prices.
 
Don't know..!!

but always carry mechanic style rubber gloves and slip them on under whatever I happen to be wearing. Keeps me dry a bit warmer cause all the gloves I've had during some 50+ years of riding keep me dry for a while but not all the way home...!! :thumbup:
