Compact Waterproof Windproof Overgloves

Our team of passionate road cyclists has developed these clever rainproof overgloves that pack away nice and small for riding in wet weather.Stay protected in the elements! These compactable overgloves will protect you from the rain, wind and cold during long-distance rides in autumn and winter!

Design

These overgloves have been designed to give you an extra layer of protection on top of your non-waterproof winter gloves!

They keep your hands at a comfortable temperature for longer during long, wet or cold rides!

There are reflective panels covering 2 fingers for night-time visibility
The palm and fingers are made from a grippy fabric to help you grasp the handlebar.

WATERPROOFING

It’s not just the fabric that matters for the product’s waterproofing; the assembly is just as important.
The product offers a water resistance of 15,000 mm water pressure before washing.

We’ve waterproofed the long internal seams and the bases between the fingers using thermobonded watertight bands.

On the edges of the fingers, on the inside, our best option was to use watertight thread because there wasn’t enough space to attach watertight bands.

BREATHABILITY OF THE FABRIC (RET)

To see whether a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower its resistance, the more it lets water vapour produced by the body escape, therefore the more breathable it is.
• RET 20: little breathability, unsuitable for exercise

COMPACT DESIGN

We wanted to design a clever product that wouldn’t take up too much space and that would keep your hands significantly warmer, so we’ve included a discreet pocket that you can fold the gloves into. Once they’re packed away, they’ll fit into the palm of your hand.
This means you can easily fit them into a small bag or a pocket.

Cut

We’ve chosen a 3-finger design for 2 reasons:
– to maximise warmth inside the gloves.
– to be able to waterproof the product, because gloves are by definition difficult to waterproof, and this affects the quality.
– to retain a basic level of dexterity so that you can still steer your bike, brake and change gear.
