Best waterproof gloves...?

[Tribal Chestnut]

Got a bit cheesed off this week when I had to cut the lining out of my Dainese gloves in order to get my fingers in, so I’m after a decent pair of Goretex mid-season gloves. Had similar with various other gloves.

I’ve kind of accepted that the linings will go at some point in any glove, but I’m hoping someone on here has found the Holy Grail of waterproof motorcycle gloves and is willing to share their wisdom.

Going a bit off-piste, one solution might be those awful muff things and heated grips, which might allow me to get away with non-lined gloves all year and certainly through Autumn and Spring, but that is getting a bit desperate.

Is this for commuting or just general tomfoolery

Bit of both.

Some nice ideas, thanks guys. Will see if my local BMW place has stock to try.

Have gone for the Chikaras. Be interesting to see how they turn out.

Thanks all.

Not dainese, I paid about £140 for some waterproof winter gloves and they are utter crap, can feel the lining has already gone and I get cold hands when it is about 5 degree after about 10mins.

Learned my lesson with Dainese, though to be fair the ones I just cut up probably lasted 3-4 years. Been quite happy with my FMPs though and they’re about 7 years old.

First use of the Chikaras in proper rain today. They were ste. Will be exchanged.

Thanks chaps.

Most definitely the GoreTex ones Andy.

I’ll get them swapped, must just be a Friday afternoon pair.

My Held Twins have been superb for five years now, so I’ve high expectations of these.
