Waterproof Powersports Gloves
Riding in rain and other unpredictable weather conditions can become a nightmare unless you’re wearing the right riding gear. Put on a waterproof jacket, pants, and gloves, and the rainstorm won’t be such a frustrating experience. On our website, we’ve gathered an extensive variety of waterproof riding gear, including gloves. Waterproof gloves will surely keep your hands dry and protected all year round as well as allow for better control of your ATV, UTV, snowmobile or other powersports vehicle. You can choose gloves that come either with a waterproof membrane bonded to the outer shell or with an insert sandwiched between the outer shell and the lining.
The waterproof gloves offered in our online store are crafted from different materials and use different technologies but they have one thing in common: they offer exceptional protection from everything Mother Nature may throw at you. The gloves can have an outer shell made either from leather or textile materials such as nylon, polyester, etc., but this is the technology sewn inside that makes them fully impervious to water. Gore-Tex technology is considered the most advanced technology used in waterproof gloves. A Gore-Tex membrane or insert is guaranteed to create the ultimate barrier against rain, snow, and wind while providing the highest level of breathability of all waterproof inserts. It will dissipate moisture very fast, preventing your hands from sweating.
Other popular waterproofing technologies include Aquatex and Dri-Lock. Aquatex gloves are a more affordable alternative to Gore-Tex gloves. They also offer excellent water and wind protection while being breathable enough to keep your hands sweat-free. Gloves with Dri-Lock inserts will help you stay dry in rainy or snowy conditions but they lack breathability. Many leading manufacturers make gloves using proprietary technologies such as Aquabloc, Marmot MemBrain, and much more. These technologies offer superior efficiency and in most cases cost less than Gore-Tex. No matter the technology they use, all waterproof gloves should have sealed seams to prevent water from getting in, otherwise, they will only be considered water-resistant.
Since your hands are first to contact the ground in case of a crash, you need gloves that can protect them from potential injury. We offer a diverse collection of powersports waterproof gloves that are reinforced with protective armor for maximum impact and abrasion resistance. These gloves come with soft padding or hard plastic/carbon fiber protectors placed on knuckles, fingers, scaphoids, palms, and other exposed parts of the hand. And if you’re riding in cold weather, choose from waterproof gloves that come with a premium thermal lining such as Thinsulate or PrimaLoft. These linings will trap and keep heat close to your hands, offering utmost protection against winter winds.
High-quality waterproof gloves should not only guard your hands against inclement weather, but also be comfortable. The gloves showcased on our virtual shelves are ergonomically designed to ensure ample dexterity and perfect grip even in wet conditions. For maximum comfort and flexibility, some gloves may come with stretchy inserts on the palm, fingers, and other parts. Many manufacturers also make touchscreen-compatible gloves, so you can easily operate your electronic devices without the need to take off your gloves. It’s also important that waterproof gloves provide a perfect fit. Most gloves feature easy-to-use hook and loop straps or wrist cinches that allow for a secure and snug fit. Your gloves should also be long enough to fit easily inside your jacket. For greater winter protection, it’s recommended to opt for gloves with gauntlet cuffs.
