  1. The only complaint I'd have against them is you can't adjust the top of the cuff, so you get a small amount of wind get in if you don't have your sleeves pulled snug underneath
    Mine have a velcro strap around the middle, which isn't shown on that pic for some reason though
     
  2. which model are they ?
     
  3. Rukka Virium gortex.

    Sorry I'm on a phone otherwise I'd paste a link.
     
  4. no that great, Im off work with a fever so have little else to do.

    Cheers
     
  5. Is that the sleeve in or out argument. I reckon sleeve over the glove.
     
  6. BMW dealers recommend sleeve over glove
     
  7. Yes, on the BMW it is sleeve out. :)
     
  8. I'm going to try on a pair of the Rukka Virium, sizing can be a bit strange with Rukka gloves
     
  9. My logic for sleeve under glove is that when the rain drives towards you, it runs up the glove and onto the sleeve
    If I have gloves under sleeve, the water runs up the glove and into the sleeve
    Saying that, I've never tried sleeve over glove, so I'll give it a run tomorrow and see how it fares

  10. The Rukka Armas Jacket has 'two sleeves' on each arm, one is tucked under the glove & the other over. Wind & waterproof ....Sorted... ( at a price!)

  11. My logic, water runs down the sleeve into the glove, so sleeve out. Hand guards help deflect the rain coming up the sleeve.
    All personal choice and of course logic.
     
  12. Whilst I always go for sleeve over glove, I also ride most of the winter with Toucano Muffs and BMW summer gloves, so it probably is not that important
     
  13. You like your comforts. My commute doesn't warrant anything other than a decent glove. I am trying to save for new clothing, but will just make do with what I have.
     
  14. Toucano Muffs are the best investment I ever made, cheaper than expensive gloves and far warmer and drier, hence why I wear an old pair of summer gloves i the winter. The posh gives are for riding the MTS
