I posted a similar question a while back with the added issue of having a size xxxxl hand. Stopped in the local dive shop & asked about neoprene & was told not to bother as I'd still be wet & they're not windproof (not to mention they don't come in my size). I also have long arms & the gloves get wet from water running down my arm & into the gloves. I figured what I needed to keep the water out was a sort of gaiter for my arms. Today I stopped in a thrift store & picked up a raincoat & cut off the sleeves & trimmed them run from under my raincoat to between my thumb & fingers. Monday night's commute home calls for rain. Looking forward to trying this out.
