yes, barmitts are great protection from the rain. I remember one rainstorm mine collected water, at the bottom, below my hands, so every now & then I would tip them down to drain them. toyed with the idea of adding drain holes which I could always keep taped closed when not required
but I don't ride in down pours too often
