Waterproof glove suggestions?

I use Fieldsheer overgloves. They're a bit bulky and reduce dexterity but are completely waterproof, fold away into a small space and fit over gauntlet gloves so you have all the protection of good gloves underneath (I wear 'em over my VR Pro's). They also are my go-to on a really cold day.

And cheap.

£300 for a pair of heated gloves? I would rather use the richa cold protect and if on the off chance it got extreme cold a £20 pair of polatech power strech gloves as liners. polatech are thin stop wind and are mad warm which mixed with that glove means it would be deep snow long before your hands would get cold. either that or muffs but i would prefer gloves only but i seriously doubt you would need liners. my rubbish spada,s have not arrived i bet he sent them 2nd class grr

I use mx gloves in the rain also in humid weather. Very little protection, not bulky hands get wet but not soaked. They dry incredibly fast.

If there was a true pair of waterproof gloves that weren't bulky i'd buy them in a nano second.

Has anyone used Gore-Tex's lifetime waterproof warranty? Supposedly anything with a Gore-Tex label carries a lifetime warranty from Gore-Tex. On advrider.com, one guy was able to get a replacement pair of boots through it, but I haven't found much else.

I went out with my das instructor to a bike shop but they didn't have the cold protects so I went with the alpinestars overland drystar £90. The glove is very warm and will not leak no water no matter what (check the visordown test) They are not too thick on the palms so you can feel what your doing but do feel a tad stiff at the moment. Also just brought a spada Dakar as rated very waterproof. I hear people say all the time they would rather buy the cheap gear like a guy at work who wears woolly gloves and a normal jacket on his scooter. people say why bother? Simple if I buy £90 a,stars they will keep my hands warm when its snowing and dry when its raining Im going to be using them for 5 months every year so that's why because just pay the price if your sure it will do the job because when I have the right gear and it rains I don't notice it doesn't bother me in the slightest. You cant put a price on comfort.
