That review is scathing !
I'd certainly prefer that style, but not so much that price.....
Maybe I'll just put up with getting my gloves wet....

Coat them in RTV!  Waterproof & windproof!  Cheap too  :imrgreen:

Or do the cheapskate way, 2 plastic bags held over your normal gloves with elastic bands..... :salute:
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

i was going to say same Barmy. couple of bags under seat, only surefire way.

Also, hows about spraying your hands with silicone water repellent, so, if your gloves do get wet, your hands stay dry???   Aye?   Good or what!

I have a pair of oxford gloves which have proven to be perfectly waterproof, don't know if you can get oxford gear where you are.

Proteous

I remember back in my early days of riding i was useing some crappy cheap gloves and i was on way to the dragon rally.. (Febuary rally in wales) very cold and very wet.. So i decided to wear a pair of latex gloves to help with heat and moisture......
What a mistake... first stop we made i found i had more moisture inside my glove than i had on the outside.. My hands looked like prunes due to the sweat but i hadnt even seen any rain at that point....

Dont do it people, dont do it..  :facepalm: :thumbs_down:
So if i do stuff all all day and noone sees me do it.. Am i still a lazy git?

grog

proteous, yeh i thought i was being smart with same trick as you, same result.

I spray all my gloves with silicone shoe and boot waterproofer...Works a treat :onya:

Actually - you can - its quite a short slanted screen that bolts on in place of the upright one  :onya:
Or you could buy the Tiger Sport of course, which comes with it already as an option

Do the new Trumpets still require a drip tray ?  :stir:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

VladTepes

Nope, for new Triumphs the drip sits on the rider's seat.
