Genuine 100% waterproof overgloves

[Rain-Off]

Hi

We are avid bike riders and sick & tired of cold wet hands while wearing supposedly "waterproof" gloves.

With this in mind, we decided to do something about it.....Genuinely 100% Waterproof Overgloves with fully welded seams and designed with the forefinger free for proper operation of control levers. "They simply can't leak".
A bi-product of being 100% waterproof is warmth. Initially I put the warmth percentage at 30% but the overwhelming rider feedback response put this at 50% warmer.

You lose minimal feel of the controls if any. Check Alan Mullan's feedback, he races in the North West USA Super Bike serries with the overgloves.
He can't afford to lose feel of the controls.

They also come in five sizes.

A pair of these WILL cure the problem of cold wet hands, so you'll be able to enjoy your winter ride, in even the harshest conditions.

We have had a great response in New Zealand and know bikers all over the world will benefit keeping M/C gloves dry and warm encased in the overgloves.

We have a website www.rain-off.com with some great response from riders on the Rider Feedback page. There is also a credit card facility for orders.


Thanks for your time.

Regards

Julie Wallace

well I use two fingers to brake so would find these annoying:yes:

These work just fine

[thatHurt]

I'm with sAsLEX on this - 2 finger braking. Anyone use four on a "modern" bike? Just curious.

[crashe]

Great idea....

but how about they be individual fingers...for all us 2 finger brakers....

cheers.



Because I have small hands, I only use 2 fingers because of the distance of the brake lever to the handlebars. Short didgits...

I use four, on all bikes. Not for any particular reason, I just do.

I use all 4 and a foot on the Moto Guzzi

I use both hands and both feet on the Triumph

[DemonWolf]

Normally use Two digits for breaking.. but have done occassionally using all 4 (but this is for braking to stop) normally. Interesting, never thought about it much. =)

But I like the overglove idea.. but two fingers would be better (for me)

[Ixion]

On my Triumphs I never bothered with the brakes. Just stick a foot down and scrape it along the road. Gave much more stopping power than the SLS brakes.

..or just change the glove to be <thumb> <pointing&middle> <ring&pinky> ..also you could wave hello like an alien..

[ghost]

Doesn't this make the one finger salute (for those with the requirments) seem a bit ineffectual? maybe you could supply a premier model with the said finger incorperated into the graphics of the over glove....

this could be reflectorised to enable the use of this at night, possible back light for greater effect......

let me know if you want to employ me in your R & D division..:shutup:

[Ixion]

Yes, what about reflective stripes, for those of us who still use hand signals? I miss those reflective stripes on my old gauntlets.

[SpankMe]

Used to use four finger, but recently changed to two as it gives better grip of the bars when hard accelerating.

I always have two finger on brake and clutch when riding.

one of the jap riders in GP (note this is not I repeat NOT a racist comment) uses the outside three fingers, would suit these gloves just fine!

[thatHurt]

uses the outside three fingers

ummm interesting. Might have a try of that. Might make bliping & braking easier?

I grip the throttle with the outside two fingers and the thumb but yeah possiblly, think the main advantage would be the fact your pulling further out on the lever from the fulcrum so the required force would be less, but then your little fingers are short so may need to adjust teh span of the lever :yes:

Most riders do not wear 100% waterproof gloves correctly hence they get wet, waterproofs should have the cuffs tucked into the sleeves, if outside they will get wet. Say what ya like its a fact.
My waterproofs are 100% waterproof end o story

[Ixion]

The thing is though, even assuming that a pair of leather gloves is indeed 100% waterproof (I'm yet to be convinced, but I'm an old curmudeon) , the leather still becomes soggy and waterlogged in heavy rain. And heavy , soggy , waterlogged gloves are a nuisance , even if your hands remain dry.

Overglubs would prevent that.

You will just have to take it from me that you will need all you fingers for the brakes and clutch on the 26 year old Guzzi and NOT all your fingers for hanging on unless it's a bumpy road... :yes:

But thats if you are riding a sportsbike...


If you are riding a cruiser, then the gloves go on the outside of the jacket sleeve...

Its all in where the handlebars are positioned..

Sportbike hands facing down so under jacket sleeve so that the water runs over the glove.

Cruiser hands are held up high and facing forward... so gloves over sleeves... water doesnt go down the sleeve.

I agree - these items look like the dogs nuts when it comes to dry hands, - and more classy than bread-bags..:shutup:

which waterproof gloves do you sell? the leather ones i got from you are nice, but they get very..... very wet

[Quasievil]

I have Hydro Pro leather combo, and they are waterproof, made of 4 layers of material, quite complicated bits of kit, be here in one week.

Leather alone aint waterproof

Works the same with boots too,water runs down the leg and into the boots - so I always keep my feet higher than my shoulders in the rain....

Highway pegs and a low seat? Way to go.

I tried something very similar back in the '70s. I gave them away, the feel was really strange, and with modern brakes I want two fingers free for braking.
I have two pairs of Spidi H2Out gloves and they are waterproof, even after two hours of heavy rain.
But Quasi is right about the cuffs. I've lost count of the guys that moan about their gloves leaking and discover that they wear the jkt cuffs inside the gloves.

[KLOWN]

I own a pair of these gloves and find them really good, they do feel a bit weird to start off with but I have been out in a hail storm with these and my hands and gloves were perfectly dry, even with cuffs under the over glove. Because they have a drawstring closer at the top and it stopped all the rain coming in (as long as its pulled tight) I also like the ninja turtle look, im gonna get a green suit and paint a shell on it. hehehehehe

I also wear them in the morning on teh way to uni because my hands were sooooo cold and they really do stop the wnid and cold getting through! I have talked to a couple of other kb'ers who own this product before I bought it and they gave it the thumbs up, here is the link http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=30865
