Motorcycle gauntlets, but non leather?

[Morrisman]

I bought a pair of supposedly 100% waterproof bike gloves, but first ride in pouring rain, my fingertips got wet.

I put it down to them being a bit too tight, stretched at the tips....

So I bought another, bigger pair, same type, never version, with breathable membrane blah blah.

First day in a downpour, fingers got wet.
Second day, no rain, thick heavy wet fog...fingers got wet.
Third days, cloudy, but not rain.... fingers got wet.

I’m assuming it is condensation inside then, not actual leaking, but regardless, it defeats the purpose of having them.

They are ARMR Moto Climashield gloves. £90 a pair, so I need something better. Might even take those back for refund, but they are from my mates bike shop.

It is your mate's shop, take them back and tell him all about it and next time look for a breathable membrane not just waterproof.

Was thinking about this before. Anybody tried golfing mits, the ones I had for golf kept you dry but your only walking not doing 60mph.

According to the spec these are fully water proof and made entirely from textiles and synthetic leather.
They are pretty cheap too.
Alpinestars make some of the best quality gear going.
Edit. Video confirmed it’s a vegan glove.

When the OP first posted I thought of my Ski gloves which are textile, warm, waterproof, breathable with some palm protection. Sounds perfect but the palm protection is ... leather so no good for @ajlelectronics.
I am sure we saw 100% man made gloves when we were in Cortina before Christmas but I did not take much interest as a, I have no problem with leather and b, I could not afford to buy most things sold in Cortina cos. it is a bleeding expensive resort.

Interesting, thanks. I have ordered the Rukkas now but may go for a second pair.

Half the price of the Rukkas at £45. Worth a look certainly.

The only ones I could find without the leather on the palm.

Er, as already mentioned, these have a breathable membrane. Supposedly.

My hands obviously breathe faster than the membrane though.

I’ll take them back and point it out. I don’t think it comes out of his pocket, but the supplier.

Your are doing him a favour, give him chance to put it right, I bet he doesnt want to sell crap. Besides there’ll be plenty that dont complaining to whoever will listen
