Hi guys!

Can anyone recommend me a fully waterproof gloves for riding in the rain? Preferably a budget one (< RM 100).

I bought one from Shopee, but they are not fully waterproof. water can still intrude through the fabric in-between fingers.

Thanks!

Unless you do a lot of multiday touring and cold weather riding, IMHO waterproof gloves are not necessary. Better just carry a spare set of gloves. Doubt you are going to get good and reliable waterproofing at that price point. A typical glove has many seams and stitches and that much movement which would make any glove to be waterproof extremely difficult . Hell, for 100rm, even finding a decent normal glove is difficult at that price point.

Waterproof gloves tend to be hot when not raining, and numbs the feel on the bar and levers. Besides, in our weather, even if the gloves are wet, they tend to dry up very quickly when riding. Better to choose normal gloves with good safety features instead.

You could try to wear a nitrile surgical glove under your normal glove.

Hmm..I see.

My use case is more for daily commute to work (60km/day).
After a heavy rain, my gloves takes around half to 1 day to fully dried. If it's raining daily, I have to alternate between spare glove and main glove which is a bit of a hassle. That's why I'm thinking of getting a waterproof glove. Thanks for your suggestion.
