Just getting back on a bike, been off for 15 years or so. Looking for some good riding gloves, living in GA so it does not get that cold for any long periods of time. Just need a good quality riding glove, w/rain cover.
Thanks Bearcat Smith

Check out Fox Creek Leather. They have some of the best quality gear around. Not cheap but then anything good isn't.

That far south, you should definitely have a pair of mesh gloves. They are available in all sorts of armor, with leather palms, and they're much cooler. My summer gloves are Cortech GX, but, most of the manufacturers make the same type.
Then think about some waterproof overgloves, usually nylon, folds up into almost no space at all, can be left on the bike. For cooler riding, I've had nylon, and leather. I like the textile a little better. A lot of them are already waterproof.

One pair of gloves will not be adequate for all conditions. Any gloves that allow cooling airflow, will be far too cold to ride in when the temps get below 50(f).
I live in northern Florida and I have three pairs of riding gloves. Lightweight perforated leather gloves are perfect when the temperature is above 70 degrees, insulated leather gloves for 50 to 70 and heavy insulated leather gauntlets for temps down to about 20 degrees.
...and yes, it does get down to 20 degrees here in Florida, just about every winter, so you can expect it to get that cold in Georgia, too. If you have the right clothing, it's never too cold to enjoy the ride.
regards, Joe
