Hi everyone,

While doing some research for some motorcycle accessories, I came upon this review for waterproof motorcycle gloves. :shock:

Brian (in Seattle), these might be the answer to your cold, wet hands problem that you mentioned in a previous posting.

I am going to track down a pair and try them out this winter.

I've had waterproof leather gloves and the biggest problem with them is that the Hypora layer is under the leather. That means that in a heavy rain, the gloves soak up a lot of water and get really heavy. Most of us all-year riders are now using man-made-fabric gloves for bad weather like the HJC that you can get in most bike shops. I have a pair of snowmobile gloves that are waterproof and much warmer than any motorcycle glove. I got them from Canadian Tire for about $20.00. So far this year I haven't needed them with the Givi shield on my Burger. It was down to -1 C yesterday and the HJC gloves were warm enough.

Rain proof Gloves

The best rain proof gloves were the ones behind well placed
motorcycle mirrors. I think the Burgie and the Kawi Concours
have mirrors that double as wind breaks for the gloves. In
this fashion, the gloves are spared the 55 mph driving rain.

I have a better solution that is not only cheaper but totally garanteed to work. A pair of green garden gloves. I bought a pair at Home Depot for $4 and my regular summer gloves or a pair of thinsulate gloves will fit inside these ugly but functional gloves. It rains alot in Vancouver. Forgot paying $50 for ski gloves and those funny over mitts supplied by M/C clothing people. They work for me and they even have a rough surface for gripping onto to the controls.

Dish-washing gloves over your riding gloves work well in a pinch.

Hey Cap; thanks for the heads up. Those look like just the ticket for my next trip.

The mirrors and windshield on my 650 do a pretty good job of deflecting a percentage of the rain, but when you're riding for 5 hours in a non-stop downpour as I was, what rain that does get through adds up.
