Looking for recommendations on a decent waterproof glove that doesnt break the bank. Under $100?
Thank you Dr. Neo as I was looking for some water proof gloves and the Aerostich Rain Covers hit the spot!! Bought those for the few days I see rain.I've really enjoyed the Aerostich Triple-Digit Rain covers. They've been 100% waterproof over the last 50k miles. I like that I'm not stuck with wet gloves for hours/days after it rains.
I was looking for something durable and warm, Ergodyne ProFlex 817WP Waterproof Work Gloves are perfect, I've recommended them to all my coworkers. The one thing that worried me was the stitching, it seems like the more stitching has the more likely the gloves are to fall apart, but these have held up great! Very waterproof Aswell, I wore them on a day with plenty of rain, my hands never got wet.
Please do keep in mind that riding gloves are armored for a reason. Riding in the rain could be considered a higher risk for crashes than riding on a sunny day. Reduced visibility, surface conditions, etc. As cool/wet weather work gloves, those are an excellent find! As riding gloves, perhaps not so much.I was looking for something durable and warm, Ergodyne ProFlex 817WP Waterproof Work Gloves are perfect, I've recommended them to all my coworkers. <snip>

Secondary to gloves, hand guards and heated grips can really improve rider comfort in cold/wet conditions along with waterproof gloves or glove covers like the Aerostich Triple Digit covers. Heated grips can be done cheap by just buying the elements and using them under any grips you have with a multi position switch. Hand guards, when you consider them for weather protection rather than banging off trees and brush, can be inexpensive. Or sturdier versions exist on Amazon and Ebay for mid $30 range that work well on many bikes.
