Good waterproof gloves?

[Calspence]

Can you please recommend a good pair of waterproof gloves? Budget is under $130 and I usually buy from cycletreads and motozone.

Thanks

Sealskinz gloves are waterproof and knitted, but may be warmer. However there have a thermal liner so if you get a size too big and the liners it should do the trick. Outdoor wear stockists often have them.
And sealskinz are the most wind and waterproof I've found.

Anyone here use Katmadu Gore-TEX gloves for winter riding.

I doubt there is any level of protection that you might desire in a ski-glove...

Also, as a personal preference, I've gone away from Kathmandu products in favour of Macpac. I'm seeing far better stuff for proper outdoors use, rather than the KM range which seems to be directed at the "fashionista" brigade.

There's absolutely none. You may as well coat your hands in butter so they taste good after you've cooked them sliding down the road.

Naaa. You leave the gloves wet in your helmet to get that cheesy smell, then carry a bag of nacho chips on the bike at all times. Nom nom nom...

Bread bags + rubber bands.

After many years that was what I found to be the best.

I dunno, it sounds like the technology of yeasterday...

Sounds like a crumby solution to me.

That's pretty crusty @scumdog. I didn't realize you were that inbred

I bought some Oxford handlebar mitts. About $80. Can be a bit of hassle to fit them but they are warm and dry.

A subjective thread as "waterproof" in MC gloves me thinks is a rarebeast. I use the Rain Off's successfully in heavy rain, they are cumbersome, but better than wrinkled hands.

So, last weekend to the Brass Monkey and back I tried out my latest purchase after pouring over reviews and picked out a pair of RICHA COLD PROTECT GTX GORETEX THERMAL WINTER MOTORCYCLE WATERPROOF GLOVES from Moto-direct @ EBay for 2 hundy.

They fit me like a glove, ... seriously, across the palm, and me having short fingers find many are way too long in that respect, these are perfect, a lot to be said for trying on in a shop but I risked that.
Warm, jeez!, put them on and roasted all the way from sunny Invervegas to Chatto Creek via Frankton must be something like 3 hours ride at low temps. From here on the hoar frost had set in early afternoon, so a good test of these tasty items. By the time I got to Wedderburn I was just starting to feel cold in the finger tips, that has got to be the bestest yet with me and gloves for cold.
So, as it didn't rain I never got to test the waterproof properties of this glove, I'm guessing they should perform well if they can keep out the dreaded wind and cold.

My Rating; GOOD. So far.

I've got a pair of these guys for when I bitch out and put the vented kangaroo leather gloves away (has to be borderline frostbite to justify that)

Can't fault them

I like the Rainoff overgloves. Have tested them in dounpour conditions - kept my under gloves dry - until I stopped for fuel about 15 kms from home and didn't tuck one of them back under my sleeve, that glove was wet and there was a small pool of water inside the overglove. I had read a review stating exactly that, so it was good to experience it.
They are cumbersome, and difficult to put on without a second person especially if your jacket sleeves are nicely fitted, but do an awesome job of keeping out the water and cold air.

I use Rainoff overgloves too. They can be cumbersome if they're a size too big, otherwise no worse than winterweight gloves.

I suffer from short finger syndrome too. I bought a pair of Held perforated gloves because they offer different finger lengths with certain models.

I quite like these with two compartments. https://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf...ing-Glove-0001

Although I use Rain Offs for long hauls in bad weather, I bought these 3 season Dainese waterproof gloves a few months ago: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...y-short-gloves . I wanted a relatively lightweight waterproof armoured glove and so far this winter, they haven't disappointed. Totally waterproof, a great fit and warm enough. I bought the short cuff version to wear under my jacket. Good price at USD 99. I've had Gerbing G3 heated gloves for 3 years for those really cold Waikato winter mornings so I'm pretty sorted for gloves now
