    I concurred with this statement :laugh:
    I have switch to Rev it since the Rukka is too much for South Cal weather.
    My go to suit is Tornado for 3 season and switch to Everest GTX for the winter.

    At least she will look very sexy walking around (bike sold to buy gear) in her new Rukka gear. :vanity:

    Thanks for your review of Knox. I'd really love something that kept my hands warm and I wouldn't have to worry about using in 20-30F.

    I've never tried silk liners, though I should. Nitrile has also been suggested.
    For most of my trip, it was routine of bathing my hands in baby powder and sliding over thin 100% cotton manicure gloves.

    I usually buy women's gloves (no pink or purple ha) because men's gloves in the colors and styles I like are too long in the fingers...even S or XS.
    I usually by women's small even though finger length is still a tad long (on top of the added length for natural finger curve).

    Never a Harleydoodgirl here. Haha

    I've never seen a derm about this, but my doc when I first started reacting as a teen.
    I knew about my sensitivities to metals through earrings, but when I got my first watch (metal backed face with leather strap) my wrist was on fire at the end of my school day with itching, blistery bumps like in those photos, and pus oozing out of tiny broken ones. YUCK!!! Hope you aren't eating dinner and reading this.

    Anyhoo, went to the doc and they told me to never wear it again. :/
    Of course, I've tried with stuff here and there. Always the same reaction. Synthetic leathers too.
    So no direct contact on skin.
    Guess I'll have to go nekkid. Darn.

    Sounds and looks terrible, perhaps you might think about doing a sensitivity test to find out what affects you and how badly.

    A few years ago a friend gave his wife a 22 carat ring, by days end she'd gone into anaphylaxis shock, massively swelled up and was hospitalised requiring an immediate injection of adrenaline or she might have died. The ring had to be cut off her finger and they later tested that she was allergic to the trace level of zinc they added to the gold ring to harden it.

    Geeze Louise!
    Maybe I should get tested already.
    That would give me a better idea of triggers.

    Anaphylaxis is nothing to mess with.
    Who would think from a ring like that. :/

    Do goosebumps count as wild and crazy experiences?

    Was just in FL...should have ridden nekkid for the gallery here. Made a PSA on how to do it successfully. I'm basically a pro.. minimal risk and all after many years of riding nekkid.

    These are no Rukka, but I'm excited to try these under several of my other gloves in 30-60°F temps.

    Has anyone tried these before? Reviews were mixed, but decided to try myself.

    Probably much better than what you have now, right? Hope they work out for you.
