Re: Waterproof 3-seasons touring gloves

Not used any of them, but do like the Held 2 in 1 option for it's convenience: https://shop.held.de/en/gloves/gloves-with-membrane/1050/air-n-dry-ii?number=022342-00-1-DM5 IIRC the BM ones are the same, but cheaper, as they have BM labels: https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/wearproductdetails/riders-...
