Default What gloves do u use in the rain?

So let's here it. Pics or links would be good. After a 300 mile day in a nasty storm last fall, I got a nice suite. Looking for a good glove. Would prefer a non insulated gauntlet. What do u use? I already know all the bad *** real bikers don't wear anything...

Wet ones. Still on the never ending quest for a pair that keeps the DBs dry. Also haven't found a rain suit that's worth it's money either. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I bought a pair of black rubber gloves similar to Playtex gloves you use in the house from Home Depot. They work pretty good in warm weather and I do not ride when it is both cold and wet.

I've got an HD "Men's Hi-Vis Rain Suit" p/n 98275-08VM

Several friends have those also, haven't heard a single complaint about the suit. I rode in rain more days than sun last season, atleast it seems like it rained every ride.

Second the Harley Hi-vis rain suit. I've ridden in weather that resembled a monsoon and it kept me dry all day. Its quality gear. You look like a road cone, but if its raining hard enough to warrant rain gear I want to do everything I can to be seen anyway. I'm still looking for a set of gloves but for right now I'm using a set of unlined snowboarding guantlets I had laying around.

True.

I bought a Hi-Vis Waterproof Hooded Jacket to wear close to home, a buddy saw me wearing it and called me "road cone". He said that was my new nickname.

I carry a pair of neoprene fishing gloves that I bought at WallyWorld or some such place. They work great.
