Waterproof 3-seasons touring gloves

Post by Richard Simpson Mark II »

My brilliant Akito gloves have finally given up after about 2 decades of use!

Need a pair of gloves for all-weather road riding

Anyone have experience with the following as replacements

1) KTM Tourrain (I have a KTM Tourrain twat suit that I'm very pleased with)

2) Knox Covert

3) Alpine Stars Valparaiso V2 Drystar

4) Richa Invader Goretex

Not used any of them, but do like the Held 2 in 1 option for it's convenience:

IIRC the BM ones are the same, but cheaper, as they have BM labels:

Well, in the end I settled on these

Arrived today, and appear to be very good quality. Went a size up on advice of a review and they fit perfectly.

Not used yet, but I'll let you know how they perform.

Akito, there's a name from the past. I have something similar, a pair of old Hein Gericke 3-season gloves which started out life as black, but have now become bleached to a shade of mid-grey. Still waterproof - I think - but wearing them outside the sleeve tends to funnel rainwater into them and when it starts to rain there's more often than not nowhere to pull over and tuck them under!
