Smile Rain Gloves - Which??

What do you guys wear for gloves in the rain? I have always just worn my leather gloves. They get wet and then they get dry, case closed. Until I went to Laconia a couple of years ago. Pored rain all the way up there. Pored rain all night on my tent. Pored rain all next day on ride home. I damn near got frost bite on my hands in June on my ride home. Now I'm still looking for replacements.

I've tried rubber over leather, just rubber, but nothing really works (comfort, grip, water-proofness). Have you found the majic?

Neoprene fishing gloves. I bought mine at WallyWorld. People scoff at them (not "biker" enough I guess), but mine are the hands that are warm and dry.

I have the HD Gore-Tex rain gloves I wear with my HD Gore-Tex rain suit. Works great and I stay nice and dry and comfortable.

Waterproof fishing gloves from Bass Pro Shops. They work. Tested and proven.
About $35.00

+ 1 on the rubber gloves. I bought a pair in Alaska last summer and don't go anywhere without them. I think I paid $15.00 for them at an outfitter store. They are the ones that the fisherman use on the commercial boats and they work great.

I LOVE my Alpinestars DryStar gloves. Pricey and a bit warm for Florida, but work great. Before that I've used neoprene fishing gloves or gauntlet rubber gloves I'd steal from chemical spill kit at work ...

I use my Klim gortex gloves, originally bought them for snowmobiling. They are not full blown winter gloves but the thinner snowcross style ones.

I've got a pair of these, they're real good. Better for cooler weather though.

Pretty happy with the HD leather gauntlet Gore-Tex gloves. A bit warm, but riding highway speed in the rain usually merits them.

I am generally not a fan of HD brand stuff (other than the bikes themselves!), but these gloves have served me well in Montana and Washington state for two years. They're not too bulky and are just fine for riding.

When it's real cold, I use my Hestra ski gloves. Best ski gloves I've ever had, and I've had a few. Waterproof and warm in *any* temp. But they are a bit bulkier, understandably so.
