My idea, 100% waterproof gloves!!!

[Pinstripe]

I've done this plenty of times for longish rides, works great

My million dollar idea was to get some dish washing gloves made in super super sizes. Non slip & cannot leak. Then someone else made them I bought some from a shop, but still a bit small for big gloves. Never seen any more.

Sorry Quasi, don't believe you. I've bought a few 'waterproof' gloves over the years & they never pan out, my last ones are Hipora & while it slows down water ingress they never last & don't cope with a real downpour, even so -the leather is still sodden so gets cold, makes them more than a drag to take off & put on again.

They do have their place though, behind some MX handguards are the best defence.

Be cautious of the bag or inner glove idea, the low friction surface makes it easy to slip off in an accident, the force is sometimes quite violent.

good idea, maybe you could go one step further and try plastic bags on your feet inside your boots,keeps your socks dry.

As I've said before - breadbags over the top of your gloves and a rubber-band around each cuff.

[Daffyd]

Might get a little sweaty dude, and the surgy glove wont keep your hands warm as the sweat gets chilled and you get cold.

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)

Why'ncha run a naming competition for them, with a pair as a prize for the winning entry?

Why not just get a set of these?

yeap in the end the cheapest, most practical idea, toss them in the rubbish when finished with, ya dont loose grip. Only one down side, the look! but if your dry , the looks dont matter.
Another idea for keeping warm on those cold days are wine cask bladders.
Filled with hot water, tucked inside your leather, warm as, empty when cold, of toss out at the end of the ride. Up side /down side?? you have to drink a cask of wine to get them! But dont ride for 24hrs!

lol, but your in Auckland mate, come down here and ride in the real bad weather...see if your gloves last then, Im sure that a few of us southern riders could guide you across the snow filled passes during the winter.
Following a snow plough is not nice over the lewis pass or arthers.

But hey if it works for you in Auckland, good one!

[Bike-aholic]

My hands have always stayed dry with these gloves.

Great idea - but a summer weight glove will not cut it in the South Island over winter (expecting a 'high' of 10 in Christchurch today - yep TEN).

BUT add a set of heated grips + your idea and you'll be set.

My next bike is having heated grips...

I was in the army staying in waioru. Dont get any colder than that in nz.
During my COR training used to wear our issued gloves and they where mint. But yes I no what your saying.

Fair enough, sometimes we can make comments assuming things about the person we comment on, lol.
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.

or riding from Invergiggle to Gore in a bloody snow storm, following a telecom 4WD because no WAY was I getting trapped there a second longer.

I thought I would die, but it was worth it to escape the place.
