OK
I need to keep riding AND dry, so forked out for Sealskin socks and gloves
The socks I bought ( my size ) were so short they crippled my toes and so bulky I couldn't get my shoes on!
The gloves have funny little rubber blobs on them which I thought were for grip but they don't grip, they slip... and no palm padding.
4 hours ride in the rain today, gloves soaking wet inside ( the shop claimed you could put them in a bucket of water and still not get wet ) they were tight at the cuff with the rain jacket sleeves velcro'd over the top...presume they get so sweaty inside because they can't be waterproof AND breathe.
any one found something that works??? :roll:
