Hi all, after my Aussie spec winter gloves got soaked through in 30 seconds on my way to Donington on Sunday, I have decided to splash out on some new winter gloves.
Can anyone recommend some glove which are
100% waterproof.
I'm currently leaning towards a pair of Dainese Double D-Dry gloves. They have a sleeve which goes under your jacket and one which goes over and have a goretex lining.
Any recommendations gratefully received

My winter gloves are Aprilia Tourtech - not leaked on me yet.
Dunno where you get them from - spotted them on ebay a couple of years back ..... no doubt would have cost loads more from a shop.

Well much as I resent having to praise Frank Thomas stuff (most of it's shite IMHO) the goretex gloves I got by them are waterproof.
You just have to remember to tuck the gloves inside your sleeves or else rain just pours down into them. That applies to all gloves though

That's why the Dainese have a double cuff.

I also have some Frank Thomas goretex gloves, and yeh they are fine and keep me warm in winter. Fit em inside the sleeves of my winter jacket if wet, and has been fine for me.

Cheap Richa winter gloves from ebay are the only pair that have been waterproof for me.... and I am a glove whore.

I picked up a pair of Richa gloves one day while waiting for a tyre to be put on the trike - only bought them cos they felt so comfortable (I'm always trying on gloves) and they turned out to be waterproof!
Could be cos they didn't come out of the bargain bucket where most of my many pairs of gloves come from!
