Top 5 Waterproof Motorcycle Gloves of 2023 - Tested 

I saw you on RevZilla's CB500X video.

What is the update/correction? I began to watch this video to see if it wasn't the same one I'd watched last week. It looks like the same, so I stopped. Pointing us to the update would be appreciated.

I can't even explain how much I appreciate that. I wish more companies were willing to admit mistakes. I doubt anyone things less of them!

This new guy is a little boring to listen to. Why would you change something thats good? I will do you one better: why replace someone thats very good at his job with someone thats not so great at it. I doubt many viewers really like these gear videos as much without some good charisma and delivery of the content from ryan or some other charismatic presenter. I think the new guy is a good guy! But he just seems a bit out of place as a presenter. Maybe he will loosen up/become a more natural speaker in the future?

And lose every sponsor who would like to bribe them. Also, they can't get motorcycles to review from any manufacturer -even they get more views than any motorcycling channel. It shows how sensitive, childish and cowardly all the motorcycling industry and manufactures are. I though BMW would gladly give their every new bike to review, but no, even they fear they get few laughs from Ryan. Or he is smoking pipe or drinking Smirnoff, when reviewing their precious bike. 🤡

Well, I mean that's a great idea!

if your goal is just to see airflow, it would be better to pump smoke into the glove and see it come out, like a smoke machine. Better yet, to simulate air flowing INTO the glove, suck air out from inside the glove and see it suck in smoke. But none would really simulate air being blown into the glove from the outside, with a hand in it blocking air

"I have to commend the commitment to the process" sounds like excellent second verse for "I need thermometer to monitor the temperature" song.

Big thumbs up to you guys.

Thanks saved me having find the edit 👍

Thanks for the timestamp!

Well ... didn't change the conclusion and breathable fabrics like goretex do not leak that much air. Best An industry pro working with work wear and heavy duty garments.

Y'all are pretentious

This is so well though comment, it doesn't need replies.

​@@j_moonchildand yet, here we are.

@@wtfgebeurdmij2991 come on, give him some slack: my man has giant shoes to fill. His start is far from the roughest I've seen. In fact, I think, he's doing pretty great, so he'll grow very fast, refining his style. And Ryan probably has other projects and ambitions he wants to pursue. So let's wish the best of luck to both of them.

@@wtfgebeurdmij2991 Still feels like Ryan's writing/jokes so maybe the stiffness is trying to funnel someone else's words over his own.

And very hard to dry them.

I use nitirl gloves(like car mechanics use) or those plastic gloves provided in gas stations or supermarkets to pick up products. My hands slide in and out easily

@@rc2634 I find they make my hands sweat so they get damp and cold inside. I’ve been adding a bit of talc to the inside of my gloves and it helps.

Try with a thin liner glove, it won't make you sweat like latex gloves, it should help regolate temperature and sliding your hand inside will be much easier@@paulaus

Ride 'Richa' in the rain. I've tried several good gloves, Richa rocks. But of course if they're too tight or too sweaty, you will eventually drag the lining.

What happend to Ryan? I liked the new guy, but there is only one Ryan..

Yes, but I was disappointed by the lack of football jokes in that section of the video.

But it's not 😱

Has FortNine fallen out with Ryan?! Really not sure I'd stay watching if he's gone, the entertainment was at least half the appeal. I'm in England, so I'm not buying from them. I can get gear reviews anywhere, I'm only here for the excellent presentation.

Hippo hands look like ass but they work great, especially when you pair them with heated grips. I run a set from November to March.

I use a pair of old surplus winter military gloves. Honestly some of the best damn gloves I've ever had, ever. Rode through a driving rain in 38 degrees Fahrenheit, dry and mostly warm. They performed FAR better than my "Iron Jihas" and they were only $30, not 100+. The "Iron Jihas" don't breath wear as the Mil Sur gloves do, they produce a dry warm glow sort of heat; like a good cuddle under the comforter on a winters night. Only downfall is that they are bulky in the palm so they slide in the grip which and result in some palm fatigue. But on a budget, and they actually work? I'm buying another pair. Plus, they have room for a liner glove, so the knitter wool gloves my wife knitted for me fit Inside.

I live in Massachusetts and ride all winter. I ride an 22 RE Himalayan. Only Bark Buster to block the wind. With a little leather treatment to fight the road salt they stood up well to the road salt. The only damage after one winter [which I'm not even certain was the winters fault] was one seam at the cuff has come undone, but it's held together.

Agree. Heated grip and thin gloves can keep me going here in the PNW.

Definitely froze a couple fingers in PNW Spring and early Fall weather even with waterproof Alpinestars drystar gloves. 😬

I agree, Ryan's style makes the channel. No explanation so far why Ryan is missing? 😐

Including (sorta) peer review! :D

But there's always a hint of fun in there too. A sly look to camera, a sight gag, a witty quip even, ... whatever it may be but it made you smile, regardless of the science!

Teeechnically if they were doing a true scientific method, they would need a control. For example, using a summer glove to benchmark the slippage with a single layer, and testing the efficacy of their waterproofing method by using a true waterproof glove (like a rubber cleaning glove). Even so, it's really well done, and I love these reviews.

Nitrile gloves made my palms sweat like mad.

@@mbryson2899 And latex is only being used during my sexytime. No latex while on a bike - for me at least.

​@@mbryson2899yeah I'm with you on that. All forms of "plastic" gloves make me sweat like mad and I get really bothered by the texture of the material no matter what it is. I just bare skin in my riding gloves.

Agree, if it's cold and wet, I'm running some nitrile gloves beneath the Alpinestars drystar gauntlets I've had for the past 5 years or so. World of difference

@@n03m9 Same here. Latex for most, polyurethane for the sensitive. Never had a problem with overheating; in fact, it enhanced. On my hands, not so much!

Mr. New Guy looks like an accomplished engineer, who conducted ample research work concerning former F9 videography already. He might well be a Mr. Old Guy. An old chap, if you know what I mean.

Anything I've ever worn with Gore-Tex, eventually smells like cat piss. (Note - I have no cats) I thought it was just me, but no, it's a thing. I smell the stench of Gore-Tex wafting up from my Sidi Adventures every time I ride on a hot day.

@@ThisIsTheInternet the Klim's are u sure?

@@MyQUAP Shit my bad - deleted the comment. Wrong glove

I have Gore-tex boots. They were fantastic for a year until they leaked. The warranty in Malaysia doesn't mean much because they told me to ship my boots to China for an inspection. The cost of shipping was like 1/3 the price of my boots. If they rejected my warranty claim, I'd have to bear the cost of shipping my boots back to me. I might as well buy new boots. In the end I decided to stitch the soles because the glue kept peeling off, and I bought waterproof socks. They were great too although walking with water trapped in my boots felt squishy. The waterproof socks didn't last long though. They're already leaking. Sigh.

I don't...because mine fit. If you get a proper fitting pair, you won't need to pack them down. That being said, many companies make it impossible to get a pair that actually fits.

@@dr.bherrin a proper fitting pair should be snug and thus everyone needs to pack them down. Probably why there's so many thumbs up on my comment lol. You probably own loose fitting gloves so you don't pack yours down. Either that or you are using cheapy gloves that aren't made of a quality leather. Either way, u need to pack down your gloves

👍

They've replaced the submerge waterproofing test, the original one was flawed and the video was removed while they fixed it.

It was ripped apart on the r/motorcycle subreddit bc they were using wrong flow rates of air and the very extreme test in the water tank. As that is quite unusall to happen while riding and the gloves are not designed to withstand such extreme Test

Did you see the amount of hate the waterproff test got?

Watch the video, they tell you.

The waterproof test was bad. They changed it to a better now. See @4:35

Did Ryan leave the channel?
