Waterproof fingerless gloves

[JohnE]

Just to let everybody know I have just bought some VeloToze waterproof cycling gloves, not fingerless, but made of neoprene so should be waterproof. Will take these on days when there's a chance of rain.

Neoprene is not waterproof. But it does trap a layer of water next to your skin which is warmed by your body and stays warm, which may provide you with most of the benefits you are seeking from something that is waterproof.

It can be waterproof. Like my wetsuit. Water only gets in through the zip and the neck. Not through the suit itself.

Yes sorry I stand corrected. Some (many?) formulations I understand are waterproof. But even the ones that are not, provide many of the benefits that those who seek waterproof garments are after - i.e. staying warm when it's raining.

I swear by mudguards. At least you're not constantly throwing water over you once it's stopped raining.

Can't help on the gloves, but I do have a see-through blindfold for sale if interested.
