PostPosted: 16:07 - 30 Apr 2021    Post subject: New gloves Reply with quote

Bought these Richa City Gloves (Goretex), just want to see if they are a good bridge between my Oxford Brisbane II gloves (which are basically only good for really hot and warm days) and my Rev' It! Stratos 2 (Goretex) gloves which on a mild summers day are complete overkill.

I wanted something that is reasonably water and wind proof but also not heavily lined or bulky. I also wanted a glove that uses a short cuff as the Rev' It! gloves are a bit long to wear in summer.

If you do not know.

They will only be waterproof when the cuff is shoved intae your sleeve.

Rainy days it just has to be that way or you get instant wet hands.

I think I should be ok on that, my Richa Phantom II jacket sleeve covers the Brisbanes and from pictures I think the Brisbane cuff looks a little bit shorter.

If anything though I think it would just be nice to have the wind protection. The Brisbane gloves let air through them like water through a sieve. I put the wind deflectors on the bike that Zontes make for their Adventure style version but they don't make a huge difference. A noticeable difference over nothing? Yes. A big difference? No.

Confess to knowing little about them.
Put a cheeky bid in ages ago.

They are indeed meaty yet a little web-furtle reveals this https://youtu.be/AxSarBcsKLU

You'll know when the Bass VI comes in.

Mini air orbital sander/polisher. Quite damned good, much better than using the bits in cordless drill.

Road tax for the van.

Daylight robbery!

A TDS meter. Cheap as chips. I don't know why I've never bought one before as I adore meters. Wub I used it to see if the tap water was good enough for my triffids, it isn't. I'll probably never use it again but that doesn't matter.

A new wiper motor and mechanism for my car plus a windscreen wiper puller. Now all I need is some decent weather and a spare hour or so.

My tap water is over 300. I need it under 150, preferably under 100 so it's rain water or deionised/distilled. I'm not forking out for an RO unit just for some plants, however many flies they eat. Laughing

I've got one. 350/5.7l. Those 150horses and 150lbs torque really make it worthwhile Laughing
