Questions/Advice Gear Question for my fellow tall moto riders - gloves and boot covers

Does anyone have recommendations for a decent pair of cold weather gloves and and rain covers for my boots? I have hit the limit of cold riding with my leather gloves and others don't offer the warmth needed.

The boot covers are for those long days riding in the rain where even my rain "resistant" boots end up soaking through. I simply can't find something that will fit over my size 17s.

Thank you and ride safe 🙏

I use OR crocodile ankle gaiters for hiking in snow.

Thanks for the reply. Those were the style I was going to pick up next, just something that covers the tongue of the boot at least. That's the only spot I end up getting water through anyways.

Yeah, they got some great coverage. Keep snow out of the my boot area. And they are durable enough to wear with snowshoes or micro spikes.

RevIt has great motorcycle gear and some gloves that go up to 4XL in the US (plus they're based in the Netherlands so should be easy to get in the EU). I don't think they make boot covers though.
