I'm after is a pair of summer weight gloves which:
- Are really waterproof i.e. can handle several hours of heavy rain
- Either don't have a liner or the liner is firmly fitted so it doesn't get tangled etc.
- Don't want thermal linings etc that will be too warm in summer
- Well made
- Are gauntlet style i.e. long cuff
- Enough feel that I can get cards out of my wallet at petrol stations or operate a camera without taking them off (if I have to stop I like to do it for as short a time as possible:-))
- Good length on fingers and thumb (thumbs are often too short for me on gloves)
- Ideally available at a shop in Christchurch so I can try before I buy
All the waterproof gloves I've found seem to be made for winter. In winter I use a pair of Kinco gloves which I cover with rain-off over-gloves so got that covered.
If not waterproof then a glove that can quickly dry would be ok (e.g. some sort of textile glove?)
Got two pairs of summer leather gloves without liners but neither are waterproof. Normally I take both and then just swap them in one set get wet but they can take ages to dry. I know I could just put the Rain-offs over the top but hate having to stop to do this when riding
Anyone got any suggestions?
