Grumpy Old Git Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Wear some 'petrol station gloves' inside yours - That will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwdave Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Whatever you get remember to put your gloves INSIDE your jacket in the rain. I was very pleased to get home with dry hands, then as I got off the bike and lowered my arms a load of water ran down my sleeves and filled my gloves with freezing rainwater!

KTM21 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I've got some a'stars arctic drystar gloves. There not too thick but kept my hands warm a couple of months ago. I can feel all the controls easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Tact Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I wear ice climbing gloves during winter and cold wet spring days. Waterproof, lovely and warm, short cuff, very grippy palms and not at all bulky. I fully accept that in a crash they will last about 2 seconds of sliding but I'd rather be not distracted by cold wet hands I spent £50 on mine from Black Diamond but you could spend £100 and get leather all singing ones which in a crash would hold up very well.

Good tip, but just one question............ does this method not make stearing the bike a tad difficult? Are you using your knees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like i had wet myself! Back to the question I wear raven summer gloves I'd wear some latex gloves underneath though as I doubt they are waterproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
