No, but I did read up on reviews of them last year when I was trying to figure out a solution for not being able to find any cycling gloves that had reviews indicating they stayed waterproof through riding in the rain for a few hours. The reviews of the Sealskins were pretty mixed; a lot of people said they leaked or weren't particularly waterproof.
An acquaintance recommended the OR Prophets. Right on the mark.

For the most part, I avoid commutes in the rain as much as possible.
No offense, but that rustling you hear is all 8,000 of Seattle's year round bicycle commuters chuckling at your post.
