Might seem a daft question, but how do wear your jacket / gloves?
Logically, and as I always do, jacket cuffs up tight, gloves over the top, great till you stop and gravity causes dampness!
Is jacket cuff over glove any benefit? Seems impractical when going forward as water goes up?
Thoughts?
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

Jacket over gloves for me but I have the rain / wind guards fitted which helps loads, have tried the other way but for me it didn't feel right around my arm inside.

Gloves over jacket cuff for me that way nowt gets blown up my sleeve, I know others who prefer cuff over glove

My gloves are the gauntlet type so it seems obvious that they are designed to go over my jacket cuff and would be uncomfortable the other way round  :smiley: 

BE KIND...

Expensive jackets and some gloves have an inner and outer sleeve/cuff so that you can do both

In the rain the have my jacket over my gloves, as once I had the the sleeves inside my gloves and when it threw it down the water ran down my sleeves and in to the gloves.
I do have the sleeves inside though when it's dry..

:agree:

I was always a "gloves on last over the jacket" person until I got caught in a downpour of biblical proportions, with water pouring down my arms and straight into my gloves. I had to stop and pour the water out of the gloves - waterproofing works both ways, it seems!

What was that earlier about lowering the tone.......... :whistling:............very tru tho'!

Just got swamp hands and trench foot last year on holiday run to the ferry, so just after ideas!
New Rukka gloves seem the mutts' nuts', but as Paul B says, benefits in both ways, in or out...........sorry! Slipping again! That is under or over!
Boots, Alpine Star Goretex, not impressed, leak both sides after 3 years, have to save up and get Daytona again! :undecided:
Suppose gloves under with deflectors would be best, yet to see a GTR in the flesh with them fitted and know how effective they are?
