I have similar gloves, different brand but they work well in hot weather if you still want good protection. Great price from Zen.

Well the gloves have turned up, and i am VERY impressed, they are going to be perfect for summer riding, plenty of Mesh & Vents for getting the wind into your hands, and breather holes in the fingers as well, Mark was very good when i asked him about sizes, i just measured my hand and he sorted my size, and they are perfect fit, they are going to get a good work out for the run to nambucca heads in February, here are a couple of photos i took with them on:

I trashed a similar pair of gloves up near Broome on my last big trip.    For one reason or another, one of them finished up on the highway, and I watched as they were run over by a road train and finished up 100 meters down the road.   I walked back to retrieve them and just as I got near, another road train going in the other direction got them as well, so I had to walk back again.   The glove "sort of" survived, with one small hole in the palm, but the knuckle protector has multiple fractures.

I think I'll order a new pair from Zen, as they look like a good pair of summer gloves.

Paul.
In my opinion, the only guarantee of keeping water out is to wear a fully waterproof overjacket.  Having tried at least four brands and styles, anything that is "breathable" will eventually let the water in.   I now use an RST Ventilator jacket with a w/proof liner, jumper underneath if it's cold, and waterproof motorcycle overjacket if it's really raining.  This combination works for me all year 'round.    One of my riding mates swears by his one-piece rainsuit to keep him dry.

The jackets are made from 600D cordura. I wear them touring. They are a long cut. The only way water will get in is if you allow water to pool.  All seams are double stitched and no exposed zippers. The jackets are as water proof as any Dri Rider. One of my mates did the Renmark Farride with the Adven-Tourer  jacket and a pair of Monza gloves. It was 3 days of rain from these parts and he remained dry, much to envy of the others in the group.

marx

Genuine Honda oil filters are only around $20.  Don't know that K&N are any better.

I had some Alpine Dry gloves that got a good workout on the Nambucca FarRide. They failed virtually straight away.  I have used Belstaff waterproof mittens for donkeys years with no problems, but they need rewaxing.  My Dririder boots also have had it as they leaked under the continual downpour.  Looks like the Monza gloves and Rossi boots are on my shopping list.

Many of the boots such as motordry & probably Dririder are waterproof because they use PU leather. The PU stands for polyurethane. The leather used is the poorest layer of the hide, with a layer of polyurethane for the top layer. PU leather will not develop a patina or suppleness nor otherwise "improve with age". With constant use the PU layer will crack and  peel away from the backing. Are the Rossi boots waterproof. The Rossi boots do have a lining which they refer to as Evertex lining. But it doesn't seem to last. But the waterproofing about by how well you look after the leather with conditioner & waterproofing treatment.

I regularly treat my boots with DUBBIN, and they've always remained waterproof.   Even a  pair of cheap DriRider boots wore out the sole but never leaked, and my current three year old AlpineStars remain waterproof, and usually get a DUBBIN treatment at least once a fortnight, even through summer.

If the boots are PU leather they won't get more supple with age. I was considering importing boots from Pakistan or from China, like I believe Alpine Star now are. But for the price ( $245 ), quality and fit the Rossi's couldn't be beaten. You are right maintenance is very important. Every one has there own experience and fit be it boots or jackets, this is mine.

Thank you for all the support we are receiving from members of the ozstoc group.
 It is great to hear you had a rewarding national rally. I should get there next year, Ballarat is a bit closer to home. We have a voucher for $101 to the winne  of the longest traveled to the Rally. Streak told me who it was & I wrote it done somewhere :'( Someone from WA? anyway they will PM me I'm sure or Mr Streak will remind me.

We have been getting a few inquieries & orders for Oil filter & Mobil 1 oil. Don't start an oil thread  :law

The ST takes the K&N204 for the 1300 or the KN303 for the 1100. I advise checking with the K&N filter website.
The filters $19-90 less 10%
We are a distributor for Mobil. We only distribute their synthetic product - Mobil 1 racing oil fully synthetic 10w-40 4 Litre $78- 00 less 5%

Oil $74-10
Filter $17-90
Plus freight $15-50
= $107.50

If you wish to double the order the freight would remain.

Regards, marx
