Default Gore-tex Gloves

Just wondering what people have used for gore-tex gloves. I'm thinking of a pair that would work in temps 30 to 50 degrees and that will help keep the hands dry. Thanks

I have the HD Gore-Tex rain gloves and work great. Have ridden for hours in the rain and my hands stayed nice and dry. You'd probably need a liner to wear them in the 30's though.

Gore Tex it hard to beat,, I'd use gloves lined with them and stay dry...

Does anyone know of any other brands of gloves that are gore-tex other than the HD ones?

Lots of brands. Check out your local outdoor outfitters and/or REI, Campmor.com, Gander Mountain, Cabella's, LL Bean, etc.

Also check snow mobile outfitters. That's where I found my black gore-tex gauntlet gloves on a very rainy day returning from Laconia. Their needs are similar to ours, just avoid a puffy, 40-below style.

I've noticed that most of them seem to focus on either keeping your hands warm OR keeping them dry. Hard to find a pair that are really good at both. At least without breaking your wallet!

I have several different types of gloves with the Gore-Tex Treatment and the HD is by far the best for cold weather. I have be on many trips in the 30's and wont were any thing else now.

If you are looking for warmth along with keeping out the water then the Gore Tex along with Thinsulate would be a good combo in a glove.

I have been using Bikers Goretex Koln gloves for the last year and I cannot find fault with them. We in Ireland have had one hell of a lot of rain in the recent past and my hands have stayed dry. Not sureif they are available in the US though.
