Waterproof gloves of choice?

[mecse]

So with Autumn, and the last few days of serious rain in New York, I realized that none of my gloves are waterproof.

That means that pretty much after 30 minutes of riding around, my hands start getting… damn cold when the weather is ~50 and raining.

So, i'm on the lookout for gloves that will get the job done, but keep the water out. It's strange that most of my gloves aren't - is there a good (material, sweat? ) reason.

Anything that people in particular recommend?

You might laugh, but I just used a pair of Goretex Shells from OR for that type of ride.

Plus they can be used in the winter when it's cold with a heavier glove inside.

I like the OR Endeavor Mitt http://robonza.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-outdoor-research-endeavor-mitts.html

Wow that's _heavy duty_ ! Amazing.

Are they too warm in ~50 though?

I have a pair of mitts that has goretex on them, but I use them for weather ~32 and below, since otherwise it's too warm. At that temperature, though, water ingress isn't such a problem: nothing is wet anymore, it's either snow or ice.

I was thinking about a pair like this:

for this warmer stuff. Your solution looks like it covers a lot of bases (and gets you hiking in winter!)

I like the Castelli Diluvio gloves. They are a form-fitting neoprene glove with a grappy pattern on the palms/fingers. Like other neoprene garments, they can get a bit clammy, but your hands will stay warm whether the weather is wet or dry. They are a snug fit, so even if they get moist inside, they won't slide around on your hands.

Actually I have the same and when it is cold with precipitation I use an examination globe as liner. Works wonders to keep you toasty!

+1 Diluvios- gets wet/clammy but do the job of keeping the hands warm and flexible, grippy for dexterity.

Those neoprene castelli's look great. Do you have to be super careful not to tear them, though? I'm always careful with my wetsuit…

The globes sold at mec look like tremendous value; I wonder if I can get them south of the border at similar prices.

The neoprene gloves aren't really intended to keep you dry but rather comfortable. You'll sweat inside the glove but won't be cold.

One of the original neoprene cycling glove options: http://www.glaciercycling.com/category-s/1817.htm

They're a bit bulky but do work.

I have a set of the cyclocross gloves. They seem to work well, but I've only used them cross country skiing. We'll see how they do on the bike this fall.

FWIW I use these Patagonias for Steelhead fishing and they would likely work well.

I have the glacier neoprene, as other said this is the only thing that works in real rain, your hands will be wet but they will stay warm.
