    A pair of waterproof mc gloves that was actually waterproof? And while we're at it how about the same for boots.

    Gloves, no.

    Boots, for 3 years I've had the same pair of TourMaster Solution roadboots. Still keep the piggies plenty dry.

    Gloves, no - Boots a resounding yes. Oxtar Infinity (now TCX Infinity) - really fantastic waterproofing.

    Yes.. I had a pair of Belstaff gloves that are 100% waterproof. My hands only got moist from sweat, never in the couple of downpours I got caught in.
    Wore them for 2 winter seasons and crashed them in the 2nd. Didn't hold up well to a crash though.

    I also have one of their jackets, 100% waterproof as well, awesome gear for cold and wet riding.

    I've actually got a pair of Olympia gloves that are waterproof(worn them at pouring trackdays and my hands never got wet), insulated(never had a problem at any temp through the winter), and even have a little squeegee on the left thumb.

    For boots, my Alpinestar Web H20 boots work great, as long as my pants keep water from getting in the top.

    My Sidi Strada Evo Rain's always kept my feet dry. They are classified as water-resistant and are good for a few hours in the heavy stuff. $40 and they're yours. size 47 with a couple scuffs.

    I wear Sidi Discovery dual-sport boots, and they've kept my feet dry through some nasty downpours. They're also super comfortable.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Re: Has anyone ever had...

    Got a tip from someone who used to do a lot of long distance riding. Told me that if there was a chance I was going to head into rain or wet conditions, stash a pair of latex gloves in your pocket. If the rain hits, throw on the latex gloves, and put your gloves on over them. Problem solved, I guess. Never tried it myself, though.
