    dont even try anymore
    just turn on heated grips if hands get cold, wet doesnt hurt
    putting on wet gloves sucks a bit though

    +1 on Rain Offs for proper rain, otherwise handguards get most of it when moving. Watch out for water running down jackets etc into gloves. If your hands are lower than your arms when riding, put the glove cuff inside the jacket, or v.v.

    I've had a pair of Rev'it that have worked reasonably well for several years, but they cost about $250...

    Five gloves are good too.

    Better quality than some cheaper "waterproof " brands.

    Plus 10 for Rain Offs.

    I've had mine for maybe 10 years. I've got some really flash, expensive gloves, but my Rain Offs are my wet weather go-to.

    One criticism. They Crack up if used with heated grips on stun, over time.

    In the year 8062 BC Zoorg invented the wheel. In 1969 AD we put a man on the moon. 48 years later we still can't make a bloody water proof glove.

    Hand guards do help and I have gloves that come with an overcoat like mitten, similar to rain-offs. Mine are a pain to use though because they are so slippery you get a sore hand from having to grasp tightly on the throttle. Otherwise it just rotates close.

    What are rain-offs like.

    Hand guards are great at keeping the rain off the glove area. You can happily ride in wet weather in a decent pair of summer gloves if your bike has hand guards.

    If it's winter gloves you're after, choose a pair that has the least amount of stitching, less holes ya' see.

    I have found that it is much easier to have two pairs of gloves than have one pair and expect them to be waterproof. Have bought a few pairs of waterproof gloves but found they all get sopping wet in a decent wet ride. Handguards, heated grips and a spare pair of dry gloves is the answer!

    Assuming you can dry them overnight and are only stopping once

    Do you have Jofama / Halvarssons distributors in NZ? Superb kit at reasonable (not cheap) prices.

    A tip, though: if leather gloves are damp, don't leave them inside your lid - it will smell like a dead sheep for days.
    Fuck I wish I had read this before today-any tips on removing the dead sheep smell from the lid?

    I bought a pair of Rev'it H20 somethingorrathers. Brilliant, not that I have tested them in heavy rain or on long rides. I like the squeegee thing for my visor.
    I keep an eye on trademe so can snap up another pair cheaply - will be commuting next winter and had planned to have a spare set regardless (flatmate used to have bikes and noted it's hard to get gear dry overnight, and I know putting on wet gear sucks).

    I had a pair of those,sold them and bought a pair of Rukka gloves and ended up selling them for $50 after just a few uses.

    Absolutely brilliant where warm and keeping out the water/cold was concerned, I just find this type of glove a bit hard to wear, sought of 'lose the feel' if that makes sense?

    Yes, they do lose a little feel due to the thickness. Yes also, they are definitely warm, though I ALSO have silk glove liners (nothing worse than feeling cold) for icy/windchill factor days.

    Am sure they would be great for skiing but if I am spending $230 on motorcycle gloves I am going to buy motorcycle gloves.

    Just back from the UK where I picked up a pair of BKS summer gloves, non waterproof because the last pair of waterproof summer gloves I bought were shit when you tried to put them back on on a hot day when you have sweaty hands.

    For winter waterproof I am still wearing a pair of these ten year old gloves, although mine have a Belstaff label - http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcyc...r/thermosport/. These have been amazing, would replace with the same if they are still available. They are 2/3 season gloves as well. Too much for the baking hot summers we have down here but good for frosty spring mornings and long sub zero rides through Central. Very impressed.
