Looks like we're about to get a good soaking in LeMans this weekend, and my gloves aren't waterproof :cry:

I have some 'winter' gloves, but they're like wrapping your hands in cardboard, and they still leak after half an hour :oops:

So, I'm looking for some waterproof gloves, but kind of summer weight, or at least not as thick as full winter ones

Any recomendations, or should I just wear a large pair of Marigolds over my usual gloves :shock:

PS - I have heated grips - sometimes they even work :evil:

They do some Marigolds in extra strong and black, available in the supermarket. At the very least it might be worth a try, and in a large size might just fit over summer gloves.

Cheap you say.... couple of supermarket carrier bags? No really!

Muffs would help too!


Otherwise... take a look at the Rukka stuff... oh, yes, you wanted cheap! Oh dear! :roll:

Surgical gloves under your summer gloves. :)

Cheap and cheerful.

Honestly, pop down to your local chemist or boots and try and get a box of latex gloves.

Get some decent inner gloves. I have some Oxford ChillOut ones and they do seem to work well. They're also good on hot days as they draw the sweat away from your hands, one of the reasons why I wouldn't wear latex/surgical gloves or any other plastic gloves under your normal ones. The Oxford ones are supposed to be water proof, I can't really say if they work though as I've got a set of decent all weather gloves that do keep the water out.
