Default waterproof gloves

So after day one riding in the rain all day, had it with drying out gloves at hotel. In looking at what HD and others offer....quite a variety - hopefully one of you guys has some experience and is willing to share. HD makes a model with nice soft material on the inside, but I am concerned about trying to get wet hands back in....

It seems that most of the riding when raining is cool (50s-60s) not warm nor cold, which may affect recommendations.

Anyway, thanks in advance...

Head on over to an outdoors/sports store (ie REI, EMS, Cabelas, etc) to see what they offer. They should have a few different waterproof gloves to look at. I picked up a pair of the EMS Altitude 3-in-1 gloves for under $25 on sale. I just use the outer shell when it rains. Just be mindful when wearing these gloves, it's very difficult to enter information on a Garmin type GPS device.

I have a Seirus Innovation All-Weather Glove and a gauntlet style can't remember the name.
Got both from J&P but i'm sure you can get them from a lot of different places.

I've used the surgical type gloves under my regular gloves for the same reason. Also, when its really cold, they add another layer of warmth.

I bought ice fishing gloves at Cabelas and they work great. Very inexpensive as well.

Thanks for the ideas.....I did check out Revzilla, but they seem to lean more towards sport bike gear.....not my style.

Look at Held gloves. Pricey but their Gore Tex works.

If the surgical style gloves under gloves works for you than that's a great way to go. Doesn't work for me, my hands get all clammy inside the non breathable layer... I have these, (or ones just like them, didn't order online) they're fantastic.
