Advice & Guides Gore-Tex not keeping out water? There's a different procedure to getting it sorted, and here's an explainer...

Customers generally find the gloves to be of high quality, warm, and waterproof. They appreciate the fit, although some note they run slightly small, suggesting a trial for the perfect size. The gloves offer dexterity for bike controls and effective protection in cold weather, especially with heated grips. Many customers highlight the elasticated cuff keeping out drafts. Although more expensive than some alternatives, buyers feel the benefits justify the cost, with many recommending them despite minor fit issues.
Warm gloves that are not too chunky, giving good feel of switchgear on bike. A little tight to get on, but super comfy once on.
Great Rukka product as usual. Were a little stiff on the throttle side palm, but soon softened. Warm and very waterproof as tested in our latest wonderful weather
Rukka are a sort of the Rolls-Royce of clothing, and these gloves certainly uphold this analogy. Perhaps a tad on the small side for the indicated size, though a BIG plus point for me is that the fingers are shorter rather than longer, so fit me perfectly. A negative point is that the wrist opening is quite a bit smaller than expected, so it's a tight wriggle to get my hand in, the upside being a perfect fit once on. Nice and comfortable. A little stiff, so the gloves will need breaking in. Would I recommend? Oh yes.
I bought these gloves for the winter and so far they are doing a good job shielding me the the cold and rain.
Good fit, nice looking although I expected warmer gloves! Overall good and for recommendation.
Tried them out the other day on a short ride they was comfortable and warm and did not turn on heated grips on purpose. Happy so far can’t comment on waterproof as haven’t been out in the rain
Happy with my gloves, haven’t tried them in the rain yet, but very comfortable
The glove felt a good quality item, but upon wearing I wasn’t impressed with glove fit over my textile jacket, it simply doesn’t go over also the elasticated inner cuff prevents use of my watch.
The glove does give relatively good cold protection when used with heated grips,
Personally I think they are priced.
Purchased these a couple of weeks ago and rode my super duke in 7 degrees weather, kept my hands warm all morning, can still feel the controls well, really pleased so far. I needed a size down from my usual gloves
Very comfortable just the right amount of insulating material, warm but you can still feel the controls. Water rolls right off them and they dry very quickly after use. The best part is the elasticated cuff which keeps out the draught.
Bought these just before a February trip to Europe. On the way out temperatures were never above 0°, and with a pair of liner gloves these coped well. On the way back temperatures were low positive, and on their own they were comfortably warm. The seal around the wrist works well, and the fit was good. Did not have any serious rain, only drizzle for an hour's riding or so, and that was fine. Would definitely recommend.
Shorter fingers than most larger sized gloves, which in my opion is good. Because I have 'normal' hands I normally find the fingers in XXL size glves far too long. I tend to loose dexterity on the knobs and buttons parts of the controls, but more importantly there are voids at the tips of the fingers that just let them get cold. I like the short outer cuff as my winter jacket goes OVER my gloves, however the inner elastic cuff is very tight, I hope relaxes a little with use, at the moment I have to take my watch off to get them on comfortably.
Good fit, well made, very comfortable. The only small issue I have is they're quite tight to get on but once on they're supremely comfortable and warm.
Read a few of the reviews for these gloves before I bought them. Currently I have some BKS winter goretex gloves, had them years, I commute and they are perfect, but don't have the android on the finger to work my Waze, so had to buy new.
These Rukka Thermo G's are short cuff so fit under my jacket. Thinner insulation in the palms so I get more heat from my grips, these gloves are definitely waterproof, found that out due to the crap summer we're having.
All in all, from a year round biker who does lots of miles, and has had plenty of bike gear over the years, I can say these gloves do what they are supposed to, keep your hands warm and dry, without loss of feel for you bike controls.
I do tend to suffer from cold hands on the bike, so I've been hunting for a good pair of Goretex / Thermal / Touchscreen gloves for a while now.
I tested them recently on a 370 mile Blood Bike Run in wet conditions & temperature around 7c. With the aid of heated grips, I wasn't aware of my hands being cold so they've definitely ticked that box.
They're not cheap, but they're good quality as you'd expect from Rukka products. I've found them to be waterproof, warm, comfortable and now I can also operate my touchscreen equipment without having to remove my gloves in poor riding conditions - which is exactly what I wanted.
I already had Held spring/ autumn gloves with a knitted cuff. They are excellent.
I needed a winter weight glove where you still have dexterity. These provide it.
They're more expensive than the Richa equivalent but worth the extra. They're an inch longer and that really makes a difference with creating a draft free fit. Also they have a better scaphoid protector.
Good value at the current price but pushing it at full retail.
Or just buy these gloves and get on with your life! Worn at -3c with heated grips on and they kept my fingers from becoming frozen unlike my old winter gloves. I normally take a large but I found them too snug. XL fits fine. Best to try them on in store to get your perfect fit.
