    johnsons baby powder on your hands before putting the rubber gloves on, then more on the rubber gloves before you put the leather gloves on.... works a treat.

    But if those glove can last waioru weather then they must be good.
    might tootle off to the army surplus store and see what they have in stock.
    Haha please let me no if you do find some.

    There a normal woolen glove, and you get some thick cow hide leather over gloves.
    May try and see if one of my mates can score me some. there a tad chunky but they do the job.

    Ive never seen issue ones at a surplace store.

    I would be very uncomfortable with such an air/water tight glove: However I think that the idea is a good one and with the right materials, it could be a winner.

    Get straight down the patent office!

    My cheap KBC winter gloves I bought from Haldanes on special seem to be holding up pretty well after a year and one bin.They have padded leather and 3M thinsulate.Will see how they hold up this winter.

    As some one else said rain-off gloves they are great they work and on a cold day remove the windchill factor, try them.

    I've tried a few options including the bulky waterproof gloves (Dry Rider) which just feel too bulky and although I regularly coat my leathers, including my gloves with Bees Wax, I find that the thin latex gloves over my leather gloves work well and don't take any space up under the seat.

    Instead of looking retarded with white gloves... get the blue gloves that mechanics use.

    BUT WAIT !!!

    for the last year Ive been working on a new Glove and it arrived this week

    Full Leather outer, reinforced palms
    TPU knuckle and finger armor
    Full Thinsulate innner
    Hipora waterproof system

    so you can now buy a full leather armoured glove that is waterproof and warm !!!

    I will post pics etc soon and announce these and other new products just in, but I need a new name for the gloves first (writers block)
    But how much will it cost...I want a pair haha. Question...will oyur leather winter gloves come with the drying time of cordura?? Or can I chuck them next to the hot water cylinder without messing them up? If so I am keen to try some on when they get released.

    Rain-off gloves are the only way to go

    The only true option is waterproof overmitts.

    Don't piss about with anything else. I have tried these out (in lots of rain) and they really work well.

    Kiwi Company and great service.
