Any suggestions of what has worked for you?
I ride in cold rains - so I'd like to protect my battery heated gloves from the wet.
I'm not sure there is something that will work all that well on leather in a steady rain.
I tried some 'waterproof snowmobile' gauntlets ....that got soaked through during my 1 hr ride in a cold rain. (I think they meant that they'd work in the snow....)

Rubber chemical gloves over the heated gloves? I know some riders who do that.
My Gerbing heated leather gloves are waterproof and do really well in rain, but I've never had them in heavy rain lasting a long time. I guess your snowmobile gloves are not like that.

Try Aerostich 3 finger over mitts----they work for me.

Best waterproofer for any leather, imho, Sno-Seal, https://www.atsko.com/sno-seal-wax-8-oz-jar/ (https://www.atsko.com/sno-seal-wax-8-oz-jar/)
compound that is primarily beeswax

Thanks I will look into that stuff.
It's a bit tricky, because I'll be wiping my face shield for the entire ride with whatever is on my glove.....and my vision will already be a bit compromised from fogging and water...Oh, and darkness :)

Thought about that. But my heated gauntlets are 3XL, so pretty tough to find anything that will go over those things.

I always use Renapur which sounds a lot like this. Needs regular reapplication though.

Bought a can of Nikwax Glove Proof......to try.
Then I read in the microscopic print on back of the can ,"Not for use on visor wipe"
wonder what that means....

It'll smear your visor if you do! :) ;D

yeah that's what I'm thinking. Not going to use that stuff.
More likely to be dealing with snow rather than rain for the next couple of months
