summer water proof gloves??

[johnakay]

they all say water proof but so far I have yet to find one that truly is.

shower proof yes but.

my current one(leather/carbon) clearly isn't ,when I bought it stated 100% waterproof..bollocks.

so what gloves have you kind chaps have found to be water proof.

currently looking at water proof over mitts etc but rathey buy a proper glove that is.

A glove that includes Goretex in its making should work. But they tend to be winter gloves. Nickwax glove proof, regular applications helps with cheaper summer gloves.

Halvarssons/Lindstrands do a range of summer waterproof gloves. I've found them to be completely waterproof, however I don't go out in torrential downpours.

How much are you prepared to spend?......Goretex gloves for sure......check out Rukka and Held gloves......

Did you have a full jug in the topbox or an empty 1 you filled at the shop

I have a pair of Held Air ‘N’ Dry gloves. Dual chamber so one side is vented for when it’s sunny, and gore-tex for when it’s not. Expensive but I like them.

Empty jug in top box and get them to fill it at the shop, they said "oh I don't think we have a bucket" to which I replied "no worries I just happen to have a jug in my top box"

Been looking for waterproof summer gloves, tried Knox covert, great level of protection but not a good fit for me and felt too much like they have a lining so exchanged for the Dane Tyril. Seem ok, fit on fingers is good, [mention]raesewell[/mention] did you find them a bit stiff and if so do they soften up? They feel tight across the inside of the fingers when I close my hand as if to grip the throttle.

I don't bother with them. In summer, I use lightweight gloves that let the water in. When my hands get cold, the heated grips go on, and when it stops raining, the gloves dry out quickly enough.

They do soften up and when they do they will fit like a glove

Cheers, will give them some time then. No room in the house for expensive uncomfortable gloves

I do the same except if it's a long day I carry my waterproof winter gloves so if rain gets that bad I can change. Let's face it if it fits from nice to horrible and your getting cold your not going to argue with warm hands....

[raesewell]

The thread was about summer gloves, and the Dane Tyril are OK down to about 10 degrees C. Below that you will need something thicker. For winter I have Richa Cold Protect. Both gloves are totally waterproof.

I must admit, if it for summer riding, as in proper summer riding, so what if your gloves and hands get wet?

If I am touring in the summer and have been caught out with bad rain, my light Oxford vented gloves get wet and then within 30 minutes of riding in the dry, they are dry again. Once, when it was bucketing down, I got some food preparation gloves from a Mcdonalds and wore them underneath the gloves as they were sticking to my hands. But it was summer, it was not cold!

[raesewell]

Whenever I wear plastic, nitrile or latex gloves my hands sweat so much it's like I've had them in a bucket of water so not an option for me.

I have worn the Dane Tyril gloves in 30 degree C weather and because they are breathable, very little sweat.

[Throttled]

I only wear plastic gloves to get the gloves on when wet, they dry off quickly and I only have them on for a shirt time.
