Can anybody recommend some waterproof summer gloves? I know it sounds like an oxymoron but those of us who live in the UK know that you never trust the three W's! Actually don't wanna sound misogynistic so make that 2 W's! :)

I've seen some Racer gloves on infinity's website which have had some good write ups but would prefer spending less than a ton if I can...

Racer Multitops every time. Ive sold lots over the years and never had a set returned for any warranty or leakage issues. Expensive but well worth it.

If your a small/medium or 3 XL I can do you a pair for £75 if that helps.

Ok no probs. They seem to come up a little more generous than some makes like Alpinestars. Im usually a small but need an XS in those.

Oh and im female btw:-D

Brilliant Gloves , and Pretty much Leather all over where it matters and as thin as a summerglove but totally waterproof .

I have a pair of HG Xtrafit (Goretex) To be honest, they are freezing in this weather, so i am hoping that they are a good spring/summer WP glove. They are waterproof...very!

I've got a pair of Alpinestars Tech Road Goretex - not cheap at £99 a pair (they might be less than that now, I got them a year or so ago) and they've yet to leak a drop - and that's been in some serious rainfall too.

Thanks for all the recommendations. Should have also asked in the original post whether the waterproof lining in the gloves you are using affect feel?

Ive had not a lot of luck with gloves getting through quite a few pairs since august when i started. At the moment ibe got some alpinestar drystars that are thin waterproof summer gloves. However at 70 quid you wouldnt expect the stitching to be going around the cuff after 3 months but they are.

I've got no issues with feel with my A*'s - none at all. They took a few weeks to break in, but they're seriously comfy now.
