wes0778 Posted December 31, 2010 #1 Posted December 31, 2010 Got Frog Toggs Got rain liner for my Tourmaster jacket Got water proof wind pants and Got water proof/repelent Vega boots But have never seen mentioned water proof gloves. What is available?
celling Posted December 31, 2010 #2 Posted December 31, 2010 I bought these they seem to work ok. Have not used them in a down pour but that wide cuff on the glove keeps wind and rain from going up your sleeves. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/114-347
dogman Posted December 31, 2010 #3 Posted December 31, 2010 I bought a pair of Bering water proof gloves last year. I only got to test them out in a light rain and they seemed fine. The palm has grip strips on them. Good luck and happy hunting
E-Fishin-C Posted December 31, 2010 #4 Posted December 31, 2010 Zip lock bags and yes they work:santa:
kevin-vic-b.c. Posted December 31, 2010 #5 Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) From a guy that lives on the Wet Coast.... I don't think there is such a thing. Buy the best you find in your shops one size big and wear some latex style gloves under them. The most water proof gloves I have are from the bicycle shop I use. But they would not have much protection for your hands if you did hit the ground. :rain2: I do have a good set of leather gloves and I use the protection cream from my boots on them and it keeps them water resistant but if it gets real wet.... nothing really works. Edited December 31, 2010 by kevin-vic-b.c. forgot some information
ragtop69gs Posted December 31, 2010 #6 Posted December 31, 2010 First Gear makes some rubber gloves that look like dishwashing gloves, except thicker. They are the only gloves that will keep your hands 100% dry. I wear a pair of fleece hunting gloves under them for warmth and to keep sweat at bay. I have tried many so-called waterproof riding gloves, none work as good as the rubber gloves.
friesman Posted December 31, 2010 #7 Posted December 31, 2010 Just go into any restaurant and ask if you can get a couple of the disposable plastic gloves they use for food prep and wear them inside your regular gloves. Brian
kj5ix Posted December 31, 2010 #8 Posted December 31, 2010 The Gerbing T5 are reported to be water proof. I have the G3's and other gloves heated and regular, and spray them once a year with Camp Dry. That seems to work for me. Works good on boots also, but not so well on tennis shoes,,,
mini-muffin Posted December 31, 2010 #9 Posted December 31, 2010 These are the ones we have. Jeff got them first and was impressed enough that a bunch of us have them now. He's worn them in the cold and wet and his hands stay nice and dry and warm. Plus they don't cost a fortune. http://www.shopmarshalldealers.com/productdetail.htm?productId=9259767&ez=93-923103 Margaret
Kirby Posted December 31, 2010 #10 Posted December 31, 2010 I have a pair of Rain-Off gloves. These are gloves that you use over your regular gloves. They're bulky and a little pricey but are truly waterproof! http://www.rain-off.com/
Flyinfool Posted December 31, 2010 #11 Posted December 31, 2010 I wear my Gortex hunting gloves from Cabellas and my hands do not get wet or cold. The blaze orange also helps to make hand gestures more noticeable......
PBJ Posted December 31, 2010 #12 Posted December 31, 2010 An old trick I read about and tried years ago works for me. Surgical gloves inside regular gloves keeps your hands warmer and dry. Works every time. The gloves get wet but your hands don't:thumbsup2:

Guest Ken8143 Posted December 31, 2010 #14 Posted December 31, 2010 I got me some Joe Rocket gloves - "blackguard" I think. They do real good. Rode day and a half in rain with dry hands. Got some glove liners and that adds a bit of extra warmth and keeps the clammy-ness down. I love them. Rubber gloves are good. But do you find your hands sweating inside them?

GlennTuc Posted January 1, 2011 #17 Posted January 1, 2011 Got a pair of mittens from Cabella's for about $35.00 that are water proof and warm. Been caught in a couple of "frog stranglers" and hands stayed warm and dry.
Guest scarylarry Posted January 1, 2011 #18 Posted January 1, 2011 Best pair I ever own was parking till it blows over... A latex of some kind would be the cheapest and best route..
Rick Butler Posted January 1, 2011 #19 Posted January 1, 2011 You know guys, I'm surprised that someone has not mentioned SealSkinz gloves which are waterproof. For years I used neoprene icefishing gloves, but my hands sweated in them and in cold weather they did not keep your hands warm. But what I was looking for was a glove that I could use in a summer downpour... and the SealSkinz were exactly what I was looking for and I found them at BassPro. Frankly they look and feel like cotten glove liners and they breath like Gortex and I keep them in my rain gear bag. http://www.greatoutdoorsdepot.com/seal-skinz-gloves.html Hope this helps, Rick
greg_in_london Posted January 1, 2011 #20 Posted January 1, 2011 I've had success with two variations over the years: For general riding, what we call 'Elephant's Ears' - handlebar muffs. The big sizes, not the smaller cheaper ones. Somehow on the motorway your hands will still get wet eventually, but a fairing and taping around the handlebar/muff join reduce these considerably. For cold weather and rain or snow-storm, Rukka used to do (and may still do) an over-mitt that goes over your gloves and half way up your arm. Unfortunately they cut them flat (ie as if your thumb sticks out sideways) so they were never as comfortable as they could be and were generally too bulky to be justified in any but the worst conditions.
