How do you keep your hands warm in a cold rain?
I finally found some boots and rain pants that keep my feet warm and dry in the rain. HD Lynx boots (Thank you Talldog, for the heads up), and Blauer Large Tall rain pants from Squadfitters.

Today I rode home in a medium rain, 43 degrees. It is a 20 minute ride. My legs and feet were dry, but my hands were cold. I have worn leather gloves in the rain before and they always get soaked, so last year I bought some heavy rubber gloves, made to work with chemicals. They kept me dry but, my hands got cold. What do you guys do for your hands when riding in a cold rain?

My garmin heated gloves don't soak through and keep my hands warm. This has been my experience. I one time tried the medical gloves under my leather gloves. Result was my hands were cold and sweaty. I have a friend that has some water proof mittens that go over his leathers.

I use Gerbings heated leather gloves. Spray with Nickwax per instructions and I stay warm and dry. I previosly tried surgical gloves under my warm weather leather gloves and for me it made it worse.

I have a pair of these. Worked great on my morning commutes when it was in the teens. There is a nylon rain cover with them and this also helps to block wind. Never used them in the rain, but don't see why they wouldn't work. Cheap alternative to Gore-Tex, and some of the other high dollar gloves.

If you read the reviews, you'll see some complain about the snugness of the gauntlet over a jacket. Mine were like that too until I removed the rain covers from the pouch and stuffed them in my saddlebag. Then they fit just fine over my sleeves.
