They don’t look like much, and they’re not designed for cyclists, but these gloves rock! They are guaranteed to be waterproof, and they live up to their billing. These gloves are impervious to rain: no water will pass through them. Perfect for rainy day use; you can even wash the dishes wearing these gloves and your hands will not get wet.

Anyone suffering from cold wet hands will love these. Note that they do not have any padding, and they are a bit stiff when you squeeze the brakes. Buy them a size larger than you need, because by themselves they are not warm – you will need a liner.

cost: around $50, and the same company also offers similarly waterproof socks. Our thanks to Richard Baldry of Vancouver, a rainy day commuting cyclist who first recommended them.
