Rukka gloves
Since july 2014 we are using Rukka gloves. The Him summer gloves and Cosmo ones for colder weather. We've used them for 5,000 km as I write this and found them very comfortable and so far the Cosmo is waterproof too (the Him summer glove isn't as it has ventilation everywhere for hot weather). We've used the Him the most so far, it is summer after all and 18 hour days have proved to be no problem. They have plenty of grip due to little rubber dots in strategic locations. Just like the jackets and pants, the Rukka gloves look and feel very much a quality product.Evaluation after 23,000km. An extract the our post 'All our gear after two years on the road'
Before I had Rukka gloves, my warm weather gloves had been thin leather with an open mesh type top. They were sold as motorcycle gloves but to be fair offered little or no protection. We now use Rukka Him summer gloves. They have proper protection in them and ventilation. Temperature wise they work even better than the open mesh ones I had before. They are comfortable and lightweight. I really like them. The only thing to remember is that they are not waterproof (I tested that too!)
For colder weather we use Rukka Cosmo gloves, which have proven to be 100% waterproof. I would like to add that these are the first gloves I've had that are waterproof even after days of rain… and heavy downpours too. They are comfortable and just like the jackets and pants cover a wide range of temperatures in comfort.
