Rain Gloves
Well, you didn't ask just for recommendations, so here ya go: I have the HD Men’s Waterproof Nylon Rain Gloves (Product ID: 98170-05VM/000L). I have found that they're not particularly waterproof, not particulary warm, and damn near impossible to put on if your hands are damp.
So IMO, I'd stay away from them. I'm subscribing to get some better options.

Here in Norhtern MN I wear decently heavy wool gloves or glove liners and these from Aerostich:

I love them, and they have squegees to clean off my face shield.

I tried a number of waterproof "bike" gloves, all of which were not as advertised. Two years ago I bought some Gore-Tex Thinsulate gloves from Cabelas for around $25 bucks...best damn gloves I've ever bought for the bike! worn then in heavy rain, near freezing rain and hands stay warm and dry.
As usual, if it says it's designed for bikers, then it probably is unsuitable for motorcycle use...

The hugger gloves work very well. If used with heated grips you should be good to go. I rode over 700 miles in the rain and they keep my hands dry. I am not a big fan of the unlined hugger gloves but they do keep my hands dry. The unlined gloves seem to have a funny fit to them but the lined ones fit great.
If you can find an old pair of the Gerbing gloves they are solid water proof gloves and they plug in too.
