Plastic bags and zip ties/ duct tape?

maybe someone here has the solution, but I have found that nothing is completely water proof unless it does not breath at all (plastic)

and the Temp range you are riding in (as Don has suggested with his question) is important.

The riding speed can be an issue (the faster the harder it is keep water out)

I always have 3 or 4 sets of gloves with me at all times and I carry heavy plastic bags that can be modified to cover hands or feet with a little improvisation.

They are light and you may be surprised how handy they can be.

i have xxl black rubber gloves which i can wear over my normal gloves, never have wet hands when i wear these, maybe u can find something similar from your local gardening or work wear stores, you could also ask your local vetinary for a pair of long gloves that he/she wears when inspecting the rear hole of a cow,  lol

I have waterproof gloves from HD that work great except when you pull them off say like to re fuel and you get your hands wet near imposible to get back on. So will watch this thread to see if someone has a better idea as don't want to go back to the old days with the plastic bags.

You are exactly right. I have the same problem, I pull the gloves off after making a 150 mile plus run in the rain to refuel and my hands are cold wet and they stick to the material used inside the glove making it virtually impossible to get on fully. Then it takes for ever while riding to get comfortable again....Roy

I have used those stretchy surgical gloves over my fabric gloves, when done throw them away.

I got those and I'm happy with them.

When I forgot them - as I'm over 50 that happens sometimes  ;) - in Europe gas-stations use to have plastic-gloves for diesel-users. Those over my regular leather gloves do the job too  :)

The best I have found came from Bass Pro Shops. They refer to them as "Waterfowler's Gloves". Neoprene with a fuzzy inner surface. (Made for retrieving dead ducks from cold lakes!) May not cover the whole riding season, but worked for me here in Canada! I'm sure the other outfitters carry something similar. Mine are camo, but in the rain, who cares?
Same problem though...don't take them off in the rain...they're a bi&%ch to put back on!!

I have the FXRG too, but prefer the nylons. Smaller packing and better feeling. And my FXRG are not really waterproof  :-\

I use these. They are Kayaking gloves, with curved fingers. Thin and still have good dexterity. They do get wet inside, but it may be from sweat. they come on and off, but with a small bit of work. They are the best I've found to date. Call them and ask them what they recommend. they are very helpful
