:yes: ......Yes I went to Spyderfest to discover this neet trick .... I had a great pair of Deer skin thermal lined gloves that are warm ( even when wet ) but I didn't want them to get WET, because it takes awhile to get them dry, so while waiting in line for my BRAT at the BBQ ( :dontknow: ) .. I noticed the HUGH plastic gloves that the servers were wearing ( mandatory for food service folks ) ..... I asked if I could have a pair and received them :clap:.... They were an easy fir over my deerskin gloves and kept them dry the rest of the week ..... They won't last a long time but probably can be bought at Home Depot etc. in Paint supplies, I think they sell them there to keep the paint from your hands ... these might be sturdier ...... cheap instant fix :yes:.................. Mike :thumbup:

I have been using these gloves in food handling for years, I never thought of using them as over gloves in a weather emergency on the bike. Good eye Mike. BTw if any of you go looking for these they are NOT doctors gloves,they fit much looser and are plastic not latex. I think you can find them in the plastic wrap section of the grocery dept at Walmart. If in a real emergency I bet you could go plead your case in almost any restaurant and get a pair. Thanks Mike.

Great idea!

Food service, exam gloves, dishwashing gloves: used them all. We rode all day Friday in pouring rain. We ride in lots of weather. Our gear includes the Aerostich 3 finger rain gloves, to wear over other gloves. On sale, 30! Worth every penny, and we don't leave without several sets of gloves: hot, regular, wet, cold, and covers. Ann likes her snowmobile gloves from Costco. For the rider who needs an emergency pair to get home, a set of bright yellow dishwashing gloves from any supermarket works. Plus, people see your hand signals! Great to see you, Mike.

I think the reason for the thread was if your in a pinch and are on a budget the quick cheap fix was to use doctors gloves to keep your hands warm and dry..:shocked:

Flame on

If that was the case. He should have stated it at the beginning. IF he really didn't want anyone else's opinion, he could have just left us alone. If you want good gear, it will cost you. If you don't want to spend the money, or don't have the money, ha ha, then you make do.

Those too are my gloves. I didn't post them as there are cheaper one in the link I posted. I didn't mean to hurt Mike's sensitivities, it's hard to figure out what he wants when he posts things.

:shocked: I wouldn't suggest trying to obtain these gloves at your physician's office...

With what the co-payments are these days: it would never be a cheap solution... :yikes:

I get mine FREE from my Doctor!!!

I hope there not used ones from your proctologist. :shocked:

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to not wear gloves? That way you wouldn't have to worry about a little rain.

Until the time you get nailed in the hand with a bug while going 65mph on the highway. Or the dually truck in front of you had a rock caught between the tires and flings it at you like a baseball shot from an automated pitching machine.

Awwww.... where's your spirit of adventure?? :clap:

Great post to share a great idea

Thanks Mike, great info for a easy way for to keep hands dry when caught in rain. Going to put a couple pairs in my rain gear bag.

What I wear are cold weather trappers gloves from Cabela's or Gander Mountain. They are neoprene and go almost up to my elbows. Not very expensive.

Costs more, but lasts longer.

I like that there's a squeegee on the thumb, but you look like a cartoon character with only 3 digits!

On a cold wet day: a mitten is always warmer than a glove... :thumbup:
Let your fingers huddle together, and ride out the storms!
