I've heard arguments on both sides and wondered what the general consensus was on here.

Do you prefer your gloves tucked under your jacket, or your jacket tucked under your gloves?

Any particular reason for your decision?
 
Hmmm I have always done it glove over the top, with the wrist strap ive never had a problem with the rain running down to my hand, and I always wear leathers now with just a waterproof thrown over if its raining.
Though when I wore textiles I think I tucked the glove under, not sure why.
 
Rain - jacket over gloves, Dry - gloves over jacket, same for boots.

Although, I managed to get a pair of Knox Zeros today, and they have some elasticated bit just inside the gauntlet part, to stop water running in I guess, and as they have that closing system like my Handroids, I expect it’ll always be gloves over jacket from now on.
 
Over the jacket if they have proper cuffs.

Unless it's cold though I tend to wear quite short gloves that don't really overlap my jacket sleeves, or just barely do, those go under if anything but normally don't quite meet.

Edit: These:

My summer gloves are quite slim on the wrist so I zip them under my leather.

Winter gloves over the top since they're too bulky to go under my leather or textile jacket.

I sold my Handroids on since I couldn't fit them under either of my jackets :( If I strapped them over they caused the sleeves to cut off circulation in my wrists. If I didn't do them tight my sleeves pushed them down. Short arms ftl :p

Yea I thought it was you who had them, hows the second pair fairing? :p
Think those and the Zero's might be my next set of gloves.

Not bad at all, still in one piece and stood up well to my recent off, still think they're pretty damn comfey, but the exo skeleton thingy is just a gimmick - I still cannot fathom what use it has; looks cool though :D :cool:

Should be testing the Zeros tomorrow, providing the rain holds off for the rest of the weekend and I don't over do it tonight :p
