    I've had a pair for about a year and find them great!
    Not just for keeping my riding gloves dry, but warm as well.
    The only awkward bit is tightening the elastic strap...takes a bit of practice.
    Money well spent.

    Thought Mbazza had snaffled them so got some form the rain off website.

    ordered them Tuesday after the kids got home from school and the courier dropped them off Wednesday morning before 09:30 - fantastic quick service. Now for a rainy day.....

    Had them for years and years.
    Bought a set of touring gloves that had pockets in the cuffs with the over gloves inside so you could take them out whenever. They are getting quite worn now but have been good when going through a downpour. Only use them when its really cold or wet. but they make a sizable difference even if you use them to keep the cold wind off your gloves on a night ride.

    Sorry about that! I meant they were cheap with little freight cost. Great dry gloves. Cheers.

    Used my rain offs this morning on the way home from work, admittedly only 12 km but it was quite heavy rain. My gloves were bone dry and my hands much warmer than normal. $65 well spent I think.

    rainoffs good product keep you dry and warm, always need to have a pair tucked away on the bike ready for the rain, you won't use them alot but they are there if needed, absolutley water proof....now that is a statement!!but remember they are only over gloves.

    I have a pair of Rain-offs and every time I've used them they've kept my gloves dry. We saw some atrocious weather on the Mainland and they were great, also acting as another (albeit thin) layer of insulation. Wouldn't tour without them in the the kit.

    Not so long ago they were upgraded and you can pull the ties tight with your teeth, it saves fumbling with chubby winter gloves.

    All good I say.

    Are yours one finger or two finger ones, and what size are they.
    I'd want them two fingered so i can get two fingers on the brake leaver, and medium, or might be large, I'm right in the middle.
    Could be interested if your ones match.

    Give up! They don't exist. I've come to think it is physically impossible to make truly waterproof glove using leather, and stitching. It can only be achieved by making it out of a solid sheet of plastic.... hence, overgloves.

    Regular gloves + overgloves is a solution that works well, and ends up a lot cheaper than spending a fortune on top of the line gloves that sooner or later will end up leaking anyway.
