- You might think about a couple of rubber bands around the gauntlets to keep
- water from running down your sleeve, under the gauntlet, and onto your hand.
- During a heavy rain I ended up tucking the huge gauntlets of my winter gloves
- into my jacket to stop this (but then had wind up my sleeve at high speed).
- A Velcro strap (like they sell in bike shops to put around your leg so you
- don't get your pants caught in the chain) would work well too, I think.
