Our host told us that it would be the height of black fly season and we needed to bring netting to protect ourselves while we were sitting in the woods. So I bought the mosquito netting jacket and mosquito netting hat. But my hands were the concern because we needed to be able to handle a rifle. Our host told us that we need to buy neoprene fishing gloves that were lined and had an elastic wristband to wear outside of the sleeve of our mosquito netting jackets. The neoprene gloves gave us the dexterity to handle our rifles perfectly and protected us from the biting black flies. So for riding in light rain my leather gloves are fine, because my Clearview windshield really protects me beautifully. But for heavy rain I use those neoprene fishing gloves and my grip is perfect and sleeves stay dry. So that is my suggestion. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways"....hombldr

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 959 04/25/08 9:19 AM	But how comfortable would those tight fitting gloves be on a long ride while gripping the bars? I'm heading down to Cinci, Oh for a Patriot guard mission tomorrow morning to honor MIA/KIA SSG Keith Matthew Maupin. Looks to be some rain in the forecast.

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 639 04/25/08 9:34 AM	I've a pair of Joe Rocket all-textile gloves. Short cuff, multi-layer with DryTech waterproof membrane. I've ridden for a few hours with them in a good rain shower and they kept my hands dry and remained very grippy on the controls. One thing I don't like about them is the multi-layer construction and the innermost liner material makes it tend to stick to your hands. This is a problem when pulling them off or on. The thickness is moderate so feel is not encumbered much, but there is no armor on the backside of the hand at all, just some layers of material including the ballistic nylon on the outside. The palm is synthetic leather. The advantage is you can put these away damp and not worry about it. Sizing is about right but, fingers are a bit short. I got them on clearance from New Enough so they are discontinued. The Ballistic 5.0 is about the closest thing in the current line. duke loud horns save lives

They are actually not tight fitting gloves. They are tight enough that your finger doesn't get tangled up in the trigger of a rifle but they are not skin tight to where your fingers sweat in them.

Jay, I have a XXL pair that I bought from Roadgear for $3. The only time the water runs down into my gloves is when I put my hands down. As long as I am riding with my arms outstretched my hands stay dry. I only wear them when I am riding for more than a 1/2 hour in medium or heavy rain. Otherwise I wear my Olympia gel gloves when riding in the rain. Fred

They are so inexpensive compared to motorcycle gloves. I think I will wait until I get my new jacket and see what gloves will fit either over the sleeves or under them. I hear some people have trouble finding gloves that match up to Motoport's Kevlar jackets. Are you tempted to buy a pair? Fred

HSATF 2nd Officer Posts: 466 04/25/08 1:03 PM	Hey are so cheap I'm tempted, i could get a second pair to test on the belt sander to see if they are any good. The wrist closure could be the killer. I think the regular glass handling gloves could come off easily in an accident. I'm quite fond of waring my M-Pact Mechanix gloves when riding. After thinking about the Kevlar ones at your link I found these which seem interesting. http://www.hexarmor.com/media/pdf/4018_1.pdf they look a lot like my Mechanix gloves but are beefier. They go for about $30. I think my Mechanix gloves where a bit less then $20 Tony Last Edited By: tonythecarguy 04/25/08 1:06 PM. Edited 3 times.

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 959 04/25/08 1:40 PM	Well after looking at all the so-call waterproof riding gloves for between $50-90 I bought a pair of FirstGear rubber overgloves. they fit over my regular riding gloves or a pair of light fleece hunting gloves. The best part is they were only $14.99 Thanks for everyones imput. Jay Patriot Guard Rider http://www.patriotguard.org/ 98' T Black & Chrome 69' Buick GS 400 Conv.

With no gauntlet on the glove water runs up my sleeve. Wet and warm isn't bad but when the temps are in the 50's or lower I need DRY & Warm or I'm done for the day.
