hey guys I need some advice on rain gloves.

I just started riding in the rain and have no clue what a good rain glove should have. Also would like to know how you wipe your shield in the rain!

thanks!

 

I dunno if this is a good idea, but before they were stolen I used snowboarding gloves from DaKine. For slow speeds, there's a little wiper that's meant to wipe snow from your goggles. When you're at highway speeds, I like to tilt my head slightly to the left and then to the right and the rain beads off. I've heard people using Rain-X with much success, too.

 

So I found things like thumb and wrist squeegees but I still need to know more about gloves them selves.

 

Thumb squeegees is ok for low speed, but like raylee, at highway speed, I just turn my head to the right, then left and let the water run off. I usually treat my shield with rain-x, which makes water run-off easier. As for gloves, I have Olympia gauntlet gloves, they do OK, but the squeegee sucks.

 

If you're concerned with your gloves getting soaked causing your hands to get wet and cold, a pair of surgical gloves under your regular gloves will give some protection from that. And won't impair your control

Well, we use gloves with rain cover. There are plenty of gloves available that comes with Rain Mitten Cover in zipper compartment in glove. You wear those on top of your gloves during rain. After the rain you wrap that cover & put it back in that zipper pocket on top of glove. Glove costs around $19.95.
