Waterproof gloves

I have a pair of Sealskinz All Weather Cycle gloves, that I use in colder wet weather.

Testing them under a tap they are 100% waterproof, but when riding, the gloves are soon soaked through - even with rain jacket arms covering the glove cuffs (so no water running down my arms)

There is bound to be some condensation, but is the pressure of holding handlebars somehow defeating the waterproof membrane? Or something else going on?

Any tips or recommendations for other waterproof gloves? Not for winter riding, but just those cold wet days on tour...

Thanks!
