I have been down the gauntlet road. The water runs down my Stich and into the gloves, makes for epic fail.

I have an Olympia Motoquest suit which provides separate rain gear so I wear the gauntlet over the riding jacket and under the rain jacket which keep the water from going up your sleeve and down your glove.

I have been wearing Sidi for the past 5 or 6 years and never had them leak until this rally and even then they didn't leak until the last hour or so.

Even better (hopefully) I reached out to them via email and it sounds like the are going to either fix them or replace them. We'll see.

I remember looking at these a few years ago and considered them but then forgot about it.
I might have to consider picking up a set for a back up.

The problem with waterproof gloves and rally is the matter of taking your gloves off and on during the ride, your hands get wet and eventually you have a soaked glove from putting them on again.
