Looking for advice about warm weather (3 season) waterproof gloves for sport touring riding.
In particular, comments on the following would be appreciated:
- Revit Summit H2O
- Klim Element
- Held Air n Dry
- Other
I have worn out a pair of BMW touring gloves and looking for a replacement.
Thanks.
Tom,
Definitely check out the Air n Dry. I'm on my second season with them and they are awesome. Simply slip your hand into one "pocket" and you are completely waterproof, and then into the other for a nice perforated glove.
Take your pick

Macna stuff seems promising.
I'vm using the Aerostich triple digit covers.

What about another pair of the BMW gloves?

I am choosing between the Macna Summer Waterproof and the Klim Element Short gloves. I would probably go with the Klim because of its GoreTex design. But the Revilla video comments about it being better in spring and fall and not as desirable in summer heat. (I suspect all waterproof gloves suffer from that comment. But the way the Revzilla review sounded, I got cautious.) Ref: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/klim-element-gloves
How do you find the Macna Summer glove to be in warmer temperatures?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a pair of Held Air stream gloves, which I love, so I am leaning towards a dedicated 3 season waterproof alternative and switching as needed.
(PS: Air Stream is not made any longer, replaced by a redesigned Aednir (or some name like that.))

I've never found a glove that stayed waterproof in weather when you'd hope they would. Eventually, they begin to absorb water and then you just hope that they keep you warm. A few years ago I bought these:
They pack into a small pouch and are really waterproof. I've used them in Labrador, Cape Breton and Newfoundland and while they don't breath, they DO keep the wet out. I wouldn't trade them for anything!

Went with the Klim gloves. Arrived yesterday. Fit is perfect. Construction looks great. Will post a review once I get some wet riding mileage using 'em.
PS: My personal preference is to avoid the over-gloves for closer connection to and manipulation of controls. (pure speculation however)
