mealexme Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) How do i stop this? please don't say not to get them wet.. i can't help it if its raining. i was thinking baby powder, like with swimming hats, but i think it would clog. Soz if this makes no sense, i will edit once on my pc. on my phone atmUpdate: Sorry, i didnt make it clear, i hate typing on my phone.I mean, when your hands get wet or even slightly wet or sweaty it is really hard to get gloves on. Is there a way to stop this? Doesnt talc only work on plastic gloves/swimming hats etc, wouldnt it get sort of clogged up in everything?Thanks Edited August 16, 2010 by mealexme Quote
Guest Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 put cuffs of gloves inside sleeves of jacket .. stops water getting in.if it coz they not waterproof, try a waterproof agent for gloves (sponges on) from a camping shop or buy some waterproof ones.otherwise, not a lot you can do. Quote
TC Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Do what Dan says with the cuffs of your jacket on the outside of the gloves so the rain runs off and not into your gloves.Taking them off you have to pinch each finger and pull in turn untill they come off so the lining stays in place.Wet gloves are in pain. If yours are not waterproof you could try getting the plastic gloves from petrol stations and wearing them under your gloves. Quote

Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 please re-read OP.Thanks Ahhhh Original advice is still good however, as to your problem .... not a shed load you can do, especially if you have sweaty hands!Talc may work, but only for a short while before it gets all clogged like you say ...Possibly carry half an old tea towel may be of benefit, so you can dry ya hands before you put your gloves on, but if the gloves themselves are wet ... not a lot you can do Alex.

RiffmasterII Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 New pair of gloves every time!Failing that, just put the wet ones on, its part of the joy of being a true biker rather than a sun seeking power ranger Quote
