:rolleyes That stuff's only really effective on decent waterproof gloves with a Goretex type lining - it helps to stop the outer leather from becoming sodden. On "regular" gloves, it's next to useless, cos the water will just come through the seams and stiching.

ive noticed my so called waterproof textile gloves get sodden now even with wiping water just off the seat need a new pair soon as the lining comes out too :'(

Erm, I tried that on my new Alpinestars summer gloves last Monday coming back from Birmingham and, regrettably, although it probably did some good, my hands still got wet and the leather was soaked through and took three days to try out fully!

Gerbins looks interesting. I have had serious problems with my fingertips last winter - that's with a fairly thick but cheapish Buffallo textile glove and coldkillers liner - I used to run into work in absolute agony and hold my hand under hot water to get some feeling back and to kill the stinging and burning sensation.
I think I will try those Gerbins this year. For waterproofing, if you are stuck, just wear a larger size thin latex gloves over your good gloves - sure it wouldn't be breathable, but it surely will be waterproof!!

Brush guards, heated grips, spada enforcer winter gloves, (or now Triumph waterproof gloves - not as warm but ok) and heated jacket liner keep me going all winter.
Not tried heated gloves though.

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
