Richa Typhoon GTX ladies gloves in black

The Typhoon GTX is a really nicely-fitting ladies’, summer, waterproof glove. It is what some would call a two/three season glove. It comes with a waterproof membrane; in this case a laminated Gore-Tex membrane. Bonding the membrane into a glove gives a better feel on the controls and a slimmer profile, but a bonded membrane will also prevent wetting out. The fact that the Typhoon has a membrane means that it's not an out-and-out summer glove although in truth, it would have to be a very warm day indeed before these became unwearable. The gloves have no insulation, so they're not designed for the cold, but with heated grips you could certainly get away with these gloves in the late spring and early autumn. The glove is constructed from a mix of a textile material called Nyspan and leather. There's a layer of digi-print leather on the palm for extra grip. You also get a shock-absorbing pad for the heel of the palm. The knuckle protector comes courtesy of D30. The wrist fastens by means of a Velcro strap. Various stretch and concertina panels make the Typhoon a really comfortable glove to wear. We like the fit, and this should certainly be a very waterproof glove. The index finger comes with a visor wipe, but the way.
