Waterproof Gloves

[Sore Thumb]

I have some gore wind proof gloves and these are great until in rain obviously. I went up a size larger so when it's cold I can put some silk or merino gloves underneath.

I find this versatile as you can adjust what you wear on your hands.

I find when it rains that you don't need to keep your hands too warm but nice and dry.

The problem I am finding is that I can only find thick waterproof gloves that has insulation. I would like some waterproof gloves that are similar in balk to softshell/wind proof gloves. If I need a bit of extra warmth I can then put extra liner gloves underneath.

So does anyone used or where to get some waterproof gloves that don't have loads insulation?

You seem to be a person who appreciates nice gloves, time to splash out on some Ralpha Winter gloves. It's part of a glove system so it's designed to be worn with an inner glove, and/or an outer lobster glove.

I bought at a very good price on Amazon a pair of Pearl Izumi WxB Pro gloves - http://shop.pearlizumi.com/product.php?product_id=1740274
Truly waterproof - I used them like marigolds when washing apples in buckets for cider-making last year and my hands stayed perfectly dry.

When it comes to hands, I always find skin to be waterproof enough for my needs!

I came on to ask the same question. I just tried these on in evans, and while they are very lovely, my immediate impression was that they would be very warm. Have you or anyone tried these?

With winter coming, I need some gloves on, but I can't dry anything at work, things stay wet for days, so if they're wet inside from being too warm, I get to put them back on wet. I think these might be the best bet, as they'll heat up quickly.

I couldn't find any others either though, it was light and windproof, or heavy and waterproof. Any other options?

(Edit) I missed the pearl gloves when posting this - are they very think please?

Thanks

When it's cold and wet, I don't really care about appearances, but as long as my hands are dry and warm, and I can still steer, brake and change gear without being impeded, I use something like these diving gloves.

Those 1.5mm ones could be rather nice. I've used my much thicker wet-suit gloves as backup before. Very warm, but kept the ourside water out...

I can recomend the Sealskinz Ultra Grip Gloves. They are great for Spring, Autumn and Winter and do keep your hands dry and warm. Try a pair on in Halfords or Evans for sizing. My pair were snug and whilst keeping me dry and warm they don't affect operating the gear/brake levers like some thicker gloves can.

I've not had much luck in the past with so-called waterproof stuff so I no longer bother trying to keep the water out, just concentrate on keeping warm. To that end, I have a pair of Castelli Diluvio gloves (3mm neoprene) that don't keep my hands dry but do a very good job of keeping them warm.

I only wear them if it's actually raining though. To keep my hands warm on dry days, windproof gloves are better.
