Rain gear review (long..)

[Grog]

The dishwashing gloves is worth a try. I have to find a way to keep my hands warm.

Make sure they are big enough to fit a liner glove with a bit of room to spare. If the combination is too tight, you'll be cold anyway.

They're also pretty cool for signaling.

I have big hands. I am getting such a kick out of imagining myself wearing monstrous brilliant yellow dishwashing gloves that come up to my elbow on my commute have to give this a try. If nothing else I'll keep myself amused.

When I am in full (yellow) rain gear, I just feel like Big Bird and laugh my way to work:


I tuck the gloves inside my jacket though.

I might have a suggestion as to the gloves, lph. I have a pair of neoprene gloves called "glacier gloves", bought on XXL, that I use for glaciering (how appropriate!), and they're waterproof and rather warm. If you'd like to try them for cycling I'm sure you can borrow them - I won't be climbing around the blue ice in a few months now. I used a pair of Sealskinz before and I have the same experience - freezing and soaked with icy water by the feel of it. Send me a PM if you want to borrow gloves.

How much did you pay for the Norrøna trousers? I've been ogling them for years, but never actually seen a pair in my size in a shop...

I just a few days ago picked up a pair of quite cheap neoprene kayaking gloves! that I'm going to test out for rain biking. With luck I have a good crossover there. I know of others who use the Glacier gloves and seem happy with them. But plus 1 C and rain is a really hard combo to dress for anyway.

I was given the Norrøna rainpants by my sweet MIL for Christmas one year I think she got them at Sportslageret.
