Mine turned up Saturday too. Used Nikwax to waterproof them. Goes easy on the palms though, found it made them a bit slippy on the grips...
How are you all routing the cables? Threaded mine in jacket between zip in liner and outside, but still finding it a spot awkward, unless the box comes out the bottom, dead centre of my back... It's definitely fiddly getting the gloves on and plugging them in, but they were lovely and toasty on ride in this morning and that was only on orange.
Also, what's with the funny pocket under the knuckle protectors?!
