    Hi

    I have some lush Grip Grab gloves which have the gel pads on them – they help me loads as I have issues with carpal tunnel.  They are awesome but unfortunately not waterproof.  Are there any gloves on the market that are really thin but completely waterproof?  Or does anybody use anything like surgical gloves etc over the top?

     

    Cheers

    I’ve got some Hot Tuna ones from Sports Direct but not tried them yet as I keep forgetting to try them when it’s raining. Look in the swimming section for them.

    Yep. Agree totally.

    Depending on your style of riding your hands will get just as wet inside as outside without the waterrproof ‘breathable’ membrane.  Neoprene gloves will keep your hands warm but not dry.

    I like the look of the Dissent 133 gloves, from the people behind Hunt wheels. I’ve placed a pre-order for the system which includes silk base layer, warm mid layer, and either windproof or waterproof outers. You can also buy each of the layers separately, which might work for you.

    After fifty years of cycling in the rain I have reluctantly reached the conclusion that even waterproof gloves leak.  The money I’ve wasted trying to keep my hands dry would pay for me to ride somewhere where it never rains.
