Looks like another rain ride in the morning.
« on: October 15, 2021, 10:41:48 PM »
75% chance of rain at 5:45AM tomorrow for my sunrise coffee ride. 51°F predicted. Sunrise at @7:50AM.
I can keep hands warm, or dry - hard to do both.

Electric gloves don't like wet. Spray waterproofing on leather seems to be a joke.
My cold weather riding gear is also pretty waterproof - esp. that Oxford Hi-Viz rain over-jacket.
At least I'm on some decent tires (newish Angels)

It's better than ice or snow!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Just bought some Triumph Gore-tex lined leather gloves on sale. Reckoned coupled with the heated grips they might well do the job. Have yet to road test them, but I’ll let you know.

Edit:  Now worn in the dry for one trip and early thinking is that they're going to be good.  Just need the leather to give a little for best comfort fit.

Try Aerostich overmitts for dry hands.  They work over just about anything.
