Default Dry hands in the rain

Returning from camping weekend yesterday, gloves alreay wet from the somewhat 'damp' conditions on site, tried putting the petrol station gloves used for deisel ( careful Hovis ) inside my bike gloves.
Plastic is thin, takes up no space in your pack etc., keeps the damp off your hands.
Not perfect, but a little wheez that may help.

Yep, I always carry a pair of latex/vinyl ones in case, the latex ones dissolve if they get wet for too long but the vinyl ones are great, tis a good tip.

I chuckled when I read this because throughout most of the Applecross Double Dash rideout every fuel stop we were at people dashed for the gloves.

When I first saw Pete and Lissa do this trick I just thought they had a strange fetish with the gloves.

I have Rukka Gloves and Handguards for the Winter (put on in October and removed in March) , but underneath my seat is a set of Latex Gloves in case of roadside emergencies , and these come in handy sometimes when caught out in the summer with thinner gloves on .

I have 3 different pairs of gore-tex gloves to keep my hands dry from racing ones to thick winter ones.
