    The easiest way to tighten the rain off overglove is to loop the elastic cord over your clutch lever and pull tight with the other hand.You can get it really tight doing this.

    Short of an "excuse me sir, could you help me with my gloves" I find I cannot get them on and sealed tight enough on my own to stop water dribbling down my sleeve into my gloves.

    I prefer two gloves, summer and winter waterproof, I usually carry both with me on longer trips.

    I concur. Rain-off gloves really are waterproof.

    As long as you dont mind looking like the product of severe in breeding they do the biz (the two finger thing gets a few odd looks). Hands sorted cant wait to see developments for the dreaded wet crotch.

    Cafe to cafe only on sunny days, cant see cruiser riders having much need for these, unless its to carry the latte home in.

    You've obviously never been on a ride with me, have you?

    I've had a pair for 2-3 years and find them great. No probs putting them on.

    To fit on right hand, 1] Put on hand, 2] ,Flex right hand back to grip knot, 3] Squeeze and slide fastener to desired fit. Do not over tighten as circulation can be affected, 4] Release knot.

    For left hand... well, you should be able to work it out.

    Edit: Although they are ambidextrous, I always make a point of fitting them on the same hand each time to avoid over flexing.
