Default Re: Rukka Virium

first run out with the new gloves today. bit new 'cardboard' glove feeling to begin with but soon broke in, not fully but better by the end of the day at 265miles.

weather was mild'ish, overcast and rain with the rain being heavy at times. the gloves performed perfectly and hands stayed bone dry, not even the outers got soaked as they seem to shed the water off the fabric. as per all waterproof gloves there is a little of that 'spongy jelly' feeling when things are wet but its not as bad a some gloves i've had. they seem to be a bit warmer than the Apollo's and it was cold out at times, i would normally switch on the heated grips but felt no need to apart from one occasion where it got pretty cold going over some hills, i will add that my hands get cold even thinking about it.

stopping after a heavy downpour i would have had no problem stuffing the gloves in my helmet as the outers kept that dry.

ooohhh almost forgot, the visor wipe on the finger is fantastic.
