RT_Jim Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Speaking of Christmas ideas, I'm trying to find something for my wife to give me. After riding in the rain a couple times this summer, I was wondering if anyone made a glove I could slip on over my regular gloves to stop the rain? I like my gloves but when they get wet, its no fun. (black hands) So I'm just looking for something small and light that I can slip on over my gloves. I've seen the gloves at Aerostich but I don't like the 'lobster claw' - I want a full, 5 fingered glove. Any suggestions? Thanks! Jim Link to comment

Jim Von's, Ralph's, Safeway, etc., all sell diswashing gloves....Choice of colors are vivid yellow (for more visibility) and sky blue....The XL size will fit over just about any riding glove I think.... About $5.00 I guess.......Ugly but effective........ Tour Master Elite's are a good, not very expensive (about $90.00), warmer winter glove with built in nylon rain covers that zip into a little pouch on the wrist part..Just whip them out when it starts to drizzle..They will seep moisture over time through the stitching in the nylon (or whatever that is)at the finger tips but work OK...I like my pair......

Exploreinman Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I too thought the "lobster claw" was a funny design, until I tried them. Triple digits keep them easy and fast to put on, yet gives you more dexterity than a mitten type overglove. They're also somewhat expensive. However, they do work well, and now that I have them, I wouldn't go on a trip without them. They perform very well. Link to comment

lawnchairboy Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 FYI the triple digits are currently backordered (apparently indefinitely by my experience).. still waiting .... Link to comment
Isettanut Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Triple digets for the wet, also help keeping the hands warmer. they easly fit over Gerbings heated gloves. Leon 05rt Link to comment
Bill Murray Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Another vote for the Aerostitch triple digit rain covers. Link to comment
sunderland Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Aerostich triple digit here too. They're gortex so that your hands don't sweat like they would with rubber gloves or the Rain-Off overgloves. Link to comment
johnlt Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I have both the Aerostitch Triple Digit as well as the Olympia rain cover and much prefer the Olympia. In fact, I use the Olympia over the Gerbing heated liners for the best winter glove. The Triple Digit is waterproof but is way too slippery and makes using the throttle difficult. I keep them for emergency only because I really don't like them. Link to comment
