[Closed] Quality Waterproof Gloves required for Comutting.

For a commute of 9 miles then aldi gloves will hold out even in torrential rain. I use them on a 20 miles each way commute and its only in the last 3-4 miles that the rain starts to properly soak in.

My aldi / lidl (can't remember) gloves disagree with you. 5.5 mile commute, torrential rain.. numb fingers by the end and wringing the gloves out.

I've just started using a pair of Sealskinz Ultra Grip which I picked up on discount a while ago.

Wasn't expecting much from the reviews but they're really good. Fully waterproof, seem quite breathable, long cuffs, not too thick but still warm enough in not-quite-freezing conditions.

Fine for road, even better for MTBing.

Mine soaked through within three miles this morning.

I'd agree on that score. But at least they;re warm-ish when wet.

You must have funny rain because mine work fine up to a point.

Agreed, though putting them back on when you have wet hands is a total PITA.

Neoprene sailing gloves.

Your hands won't stay dry but will be warm.

If not dry by home time, run under the hot tap before sticking them on. Hands will stay warm.

Tbf, Gary up there commutes over what must be one of the wettest areas in civilisation! I'd tend to believe him....

Have tried loads -Goretex from Gore are the best so far.

I wore some neoprene altura gloves on my 20 miler this morning was wet but toasty warm until I made the mistake of squeezing the water out of them at some traffic lights, they went cold until they soaked and heated up another batch of rain water. Took probably until lunchtime for them to dry out.

I think Gore is the right choice. Cheers.

Never had a glove motorcycle or bicycle that stayed waterproof. Your best bet is something that stays warm when wet like neoprene - or the aldi ones or proper waterproof overmitts like Rukka ones

I've had motorbike gloves that stayed waterproof, but they were gurt big thick leather ones with armoured knuckles. They had a gore-tex liner and they were lovely and warm, even at lots of mph. But they were thick and heavy. They'd be rubbish on a bike.

I've gone through two sets of Sealskinz Ultra Grip (the first one was left on the car's roof after all the kit was packed after a ride on Dartmoor...) and they are good for a while.
When it rains heavily you'll very quickly find out that the bottoms of the sleeves on your jacket give up - the gloves start filling up with water...

I recently bought the "gauntlet" version and it removes that problem perfectly!

EDIT: totally not recommended for riding on a trails with thorny brambles!

Planet-x are doing some hypora/thinsulate lobster gloves for £15. So far I'm impressed, they've performed well in the rain down to 2 degrees.

Checking out planet X now thank you.
