Chasing the holy grail
Dear outdoor activewear manufacturers,
When I say I want stuff that's waterproof, I mean actually proof against real water. I'm not doing this winter biking/walking thing for enjoyment and only on those picturesque winter days when the sun sparkles on the new-fallen snow and there's absolutely no wind and you send your models outside for a catalog photo shoot. I'm much more interested in being able to get home from work in a cold, drenching sleetstorm without my extremities getting dangerously chilled.
Soaking wet hugs,
Bike Lane Hottie

The rest of us board a train when it gets that cold.
I agree. Typically I perform an immersion test for, say gloves, by sticking my hand in a bucket of water to see if the glove springs a leak (most do). There have been a few exceptions, one being REI taped mittens. The most disappointing "waterproof" merchandise has been the Sealskin line of products.
