I have pretty good rain pants and coat but I need to find covers for my gloves and boots.  What is my best option.  The bread bags just don't stand up long enough.  :embarrassed:

HD sells what they call gators I think, that cover your boots up to about the knee.  Work well, velcro easy on / off.  As for gloves we have stopped on the road in an all day rain and found that dishwashing gloves sold in the housewares section of the C-Store worked well enough that after the day's 600 mile "rain-ride" I just threw them in the wet gear bag for next time.  Kept the fingers from "pruning".  The bright yellow color took a little to get used to though, lol.

as for glove covers............and oversize pair of rubber 'cleaning' gauntlets work well but you basically lose any dexterity with your fingers without removing them

It's sure pricey but Aerostich has some really good quality lightweight stuff.

 I have a pair of these Spider Feet  boot covers I'll sell you for my $25. cost and  I'll throw in US shipping.
They cover the whole boot, instead of being open at the bottom like most boot covers are.
I never used them.
They are size large and are too big for my 8 1/2 shoes.

How about a pair of good ol fashion boot rubbers you can buy at the farm store for cheap?  :wink:

For gloves I have a pair of dearskins that are very nice rain gloves. In fact nice riding gloves period.

Firstgear makes a rubber overglove and rubber overshoe.  Excellent quality, very flexible and they fold into small bags.  Consider buying the boots plenty big, you don't want to waste time struggling to get them on in the middle of a downpour.   I put talc in mine to make them slick. Many mc stores carry them:

I've had a pair of these for @ 5 years now. They are excellent and I recommend them. Keep boots dry, have full rubber sole, easy to put them on and fold up neatly for storage. There's an elastic strap that takes up the slack so they aren't cumbersome to walk in.
If the temp isn't cool, I much prefer not wearing gloves at all.

What good is a boot rain cover that is open on the bottom?  Not to mention that the Tour Master and Firstgear covers are sized S, M, L, etc., and nothing to tell you what actual size that represents!
I agree with buying a good quality engineer boot of oiled leather.  Those will keep your feet dry in any rain you're likely to continue riding in.

mp - just my experience - the open bottom on tour masters did not let my boots get wet in pretty darned heavy rain - they have a single wide strap that runs under right in front of the heel to hold em down - no bottom = nothing to wear out when walking with them on..............oh and the L size fits well over my size 10 lace up boots
