I had a pair of Sealskinz "All weather waterproof" gloves, but they get soaked inside from condensation I guess, and once you take them off are nigh on impossible to get back on again and hard to dry out. So no good for touring, imo.

However they are great for autumn/winter commuting down to freezing and in rain when you've got 8 hours and a heater to get them dry.

On tour I have a pair of full fingered fairly thin work gloves for cold mornings, and gardening gloves for cold rain.
