Waterproof motorcycle gloves: the ones we recommend

Dry hands in rain and cold: gloves with a waterproof membrane, for the shoulder seasons, winter and heated.

Wet hands lose feel on the clutch and brake, and in winter they get cold fast. A waterproof glove has a membrane (Drystar, Gore-Tex…) that keeps water out but lets sweat vapour escape.

Three types for three kinds of cold:

  • Mid-season: a membrane and light lining. For autumn and spring rain.
  • Winter: a membrane plus insulation (Thinsulate, PrimaLoft…), with a long cuff.
  • Heated: add battery-powered heating elements. For severe cold and daily riding.

Tips: close the cuff over your jacket sleeve so water cannot run in at the wrist, and dry them at room temperature, away from radiators. Look for EN 13594 on the label.
