I have an assortment of gloves. For commuting, the ones I've settled on are leather work gloves. I treat them with Snoseal and if needed, I use Smartwool glove liners. I've found them to be adequate for an hour ride in the pouring rain. My hands stay warm and dry. There's no membrane to wear out, and the palm/fingertips don't seem to wear out like they do on my other gloves.
