We recently upgraded our waterproof clothing for a planned winter cycling trip to the Victorian Rail Trails. After extensive research and checking of reviews, we settled on the "100% Waterproof" Sealskins for myself and partner. We got a chance to test our waterproof outer layers at the Midnight Oils concert held at Commonwealth Park in Canberra on the 19th April. It rained throughout the support bands and the Oils cancelled due to the rain at 9pm. The gloves were useless! Totally soaked through after the first hour of rain, leaving me wondering if they had forgotten to apply waterproofing to our sets! After reading and believing the reviews about these unusually designed gloves, they turned out to be an expensive waste of money. While they were nice when the weather was cold and dry, I'm sure we could have spent much less than $129 to keep our hands warm.
