Sweat problem ended - put these on first:





Yes, your hands will still sweat. That is an unavailable part of
having human hands attached to your arms.

But the sweat will not affect your gloves insulation with this
barrier as a base layer.

Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

Like someone mentioned, Showers Pass hard shell crosspoint gloves come pretty close to perfect for waterproofness on long rides. The issue then becomes sweat from the inside soaking the liner and then getting cold.

To avoid this somewhat, get the thinnest liner glove that you can find and change them out every few hours. It will keep the outer glove from getting soaked from the inside and will keep your hands warm and dry longer.

The best set up for me for a long wet cold ride would be 2 sets of liners and 2 sets of outers, both changed halfway through.

Friends have had some success in warmer weather with plain wool gloves and then a large disposable vinyl over glove. But I have big hands and it is hard to find vinyl gloves that work. Its cheap and effective.

Best gloves are the Goretex gloves that look like ski gloves....mine are a sexy neon color. Everyone I meet wants them....;)
But seriously....never used a liner never used hot packs....temps of 33 & dry--hands never get cold! 38 & above & rain--no problem for up to 4 hours! Hands have never been cold or wet!
Goretex ain't fashion but it is functional!

I could write a book on this subject.

I get cold hands all the time on wet rides, and I am constantly trying to find the ���best��� glove. While nothing is perfect some are better than others.

Like someone mentioned, Showers Pass hard shell crosspoint gloves come pretty close to perfect for waterproofness on long rides. The issue then becomes sweat from the inside soaking the liner and then getting cold. My crosspoints are great when it is 35-45 degrees because then my hands don���t sweat much, or the sweat is mitigated with a liner. If it is warmer, I need to use a thinner outer glove because the sweat will just soak everything.

To avoid this somewhat, get the thinnest liner glove that you can find and change them out every few hours. It will keep the outer glove from getting soaked from the inside and will keep your hands warm and dry longer.

Showers pass cross point hardshell gloves are the most waterproof
cycling gloves I've ever used. I've have many many others. These are
waterproof for more than 90 minutes like some. They have a long cuff
too to ensure even tall riders can get their sleeve overlapped
sufficiently. Andy they have held up without any deterioration well
into my second season of use.

I also suggest their glove liners for extra wicking and warmth.

While you are at it, I would add a pair of their waterproof socks. The
new wool version is my choice.

I don't work at nor am I sponsored by Showers Pass. They are a local
company and in my view I don't think anyone other than a Portland
cycling clothing company can call something waterproof and be
believable, right?

The best and it's a local product? It's true!
