Reccomended rain covers for your gloves

[btl68]

Black, XL Nitrile powder free gloves make EXCELLENT glove covers to keep your leather gloves from becoming soaked in a storm. Black is fashionable and the Nitrile really stretches a long way. Even though they are listed as one-time use, these can be re-used a few times. A box usually sells for $7-10 on eBay or other places, and usually contains 50 pairs.

They come in bigger sizes too. I usually wear a XXL.

I use Nikwax and still the gloves get soaked in an hour long rainstorm.

I did it per instructions, too. It will bead up for the first ten minutes or so, then the gloves start to get wet. After a 1/2 hour of a good soaker, it's over.

This is deerskin (Lee Parks gloves), so cow/goat/pig/elk might be different.

So are the XL's big enough or would XXL's be too big and loose ?

[Sadsak]

I would think you could get a good pair of waterproof motorcycle gloves for the price of those electricians gloves but I guess they do give you a little extra lightning protection.

I just had them laying around. Does make it easy to check for spark!

The XL's fit easily over my large MC gloves, and it's a tight fit. The Nytrile gloves stretch quite a bit without breaking or tearing. And, they fit my bare hands well, so they can be used on the road for repairs, so a dual purpose. And, carrying a dozen takes literally no space.

If you have a glove that's bigger than a large, maybe go XXL on the gloves.

Yeah, yeah, the gloves are a good idea and all that but I'm diggin' the old-school fridge!

How old is that ice box?

I bought it from a bicycle shop that had it for 37 years, and I have owned it for 15 years now. So a minimum of 52 years old. Runs great! Keeps all my beer and soda ice cold.

I paid $25 for it.

Okay, here's an ad for my fridge, supposedly from 1945...

[Sadsak]

That fridge would be a good match for my Co-op freezer. I'm not sure of the year but the serial no. suggests it may be 1951. Still works great.

[hydrashoks]

think that thing impacts your electric bill at all?

[Sadsak]

We're always in the running for the cheapest electricity in North America. Minimal effect, in other words.

[btl68]

I have mine in the basement, so it doesn't run near as hard as it would out in a garage or upstairs. But, I bet I could have put a kid thru community college for a year if I wouldn't run the thing.
