    I never have a wet/damp glove problem because all I actually do is fit them over the mirrors, which lets the air get to them and they are dry by the morning.

    I leave mine infront of the dehumidifier. Otherwise they go into the hot water cuboard.

    Snuggle the gloves up under your armpits when you sleep and in the morning they will be nice and dry.

    At last, a drawback for the IT people who "mysteriously" seem to get all the latest-and-greatest gizmo's.

    We plebs, at the bottom of the food chain, persist with the CRT's and still ride home with dry hands.

    Roll on winter!

    When soaked leather gloves takes a long time before they dry completely so I usually just let it dry out naturally (usually about 2 days).

    I've managed to score some cheap gloves so I've got three pairs, one thick winter weight (but crappy feedback) one which is apparently waterproof, one crappy pair of leather gloves and my favourite one that I wear most days is the quasitmoto one I scored for $50.00 last year at the clearance.

    I can't recommend enough that you go grab yourself another pair, preferably something waterproof and with good feel

    For leather gloves ,buy some "sno seal " use a hair dryer and warm the wax and leather .
    the leather will absorb the wax to the point it wont take any more .

    the end result is near compleately waterproof

    But you may find some older type leather gloves that have the small pocket on them , in that theres a waterproof nylon cover .
    no more wet gloves
    i had some like that once. one day i noticed there was a zip hiding under a flap and found the outer gloves - didnt even realise they were there

    never liked using them tho - they never worked too well with my handgrips

    That's a brilliant idea, I gotta give it a go and see if it stays dry.

    Hand gaurds and heated grips. Even summer weight gloves never get more that slightly damp. Might look a bit out of place on anything but an adventure bike though.

    Definately not good for the leather - it will root them - they'll be all outa shape and will end up costing you for a new pair

    Yum yum. (Not).
    I found the worst part about my old gloves getting wet was all the dye that would stain my hands absolutely black! Cheapest option for me was to buy a second pair, like others have said, then there is usually sufficient time for one pair to dry out while the others are being used. Not sure if I could quite handle looking like a dweeb with bread bags over my hands
    Alternatively, some bikes (saw these in Japan) have humungous mitten shaped thingys that your whole gloved hand goes inside, attached to the grips. (I think that's because it is soooooo darn cold over there in the winter......) Don't know if you can get them here.
