I've still got a pair of leather mits (wool lined) which I've had since my early days of riding in the mid 60s. Much warmer than gloves, even when water leaks through in really bad weather.

Alpinestars Polar Motorcycle Gloves - a short racer style glove, fully waterproof with knuckle armour. I can vouch for the waterproof-ness after a v.wet Scotland holiday. If interested I'd check Fleabay for bargains, which is where I got mine. Despite not being top of the range gloves they are high enough up there to be too expensive in the shops  :rolleyes

see this review at Revzilla:
Alpinestars Polar Gore-Tex Gloves Review at RevZilla.com


The alternative were Dianese Scout Gore-tex, both were around £100. Happy with my final choice.

I've got Oxford heated grips fitted and have read that with them switched on, the gore-tex membrane reverses and lets water in?? I can't say that's ever happened to me mind. A mate has heated gloves and reckons they are the dogs...bit bulky like. :b
