    warm weather (3 season) waterproof glove recommendations?

    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.

    I did that in Washington...My hands may as well have been in a fishbowl. I ended up taking the cover off that was holding all the water rolling down my sleeve.

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.))

    Re: warm weather (3 season) waterproof glove recommendations?

    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)
