Default Are Gerbing Heated Gloves Waterproof?

I'm looking to buy a complete Gerbing heated gear set up. Does anyone know if any of the heated gloves they offer are truly waterproof?

I can't decide if I should get heated gloves, or just heated liners to put inside my water proof gloves.

Thanks

from the Gerbing website:

"Waterproof/windproof/breathable Aquatex® liner to provide protection from water and wind (Leather is not waterproof and should be treated with Nikwax Glove proof)"

hope that helps, let us know what you decide.

I wear these over my supposedly "waterproof" heated gloves.

Default Yes

If you treat them with Nikwax as recommended, yes they are completely waterproof. The Nikwax works good on any other leather glove also.

I found out first hand last year that their gloves are NOT waterproof as they come out of the package. They work fine but get them good and wet, its a pita to get them off then back on.,,
