Lately, we've had our share of rain.

I was thinking about getting a pair of NRS Seal Skinz gloves to help avoid riding with damp/wet gloves.

Any recommendations for water resistant gloves?

I've been using some kayak paddling gloves for a few years now. They are a combo of neoprene back and sides with synthetic leather palms and finger fronts. The synthetic palms still let some moisture through but the neoprene backs and sides of the fingers mostly keep the water out and my hands warm. And I like the thin feel of the leather palm on the grips. It gives me a much better feel of the bike and levers than some other all neoprene gloves I also tried and then gave away to one of the goodwill outfits. If these are neoprene overall you may find them to be a little too thick or maybe even too squishy as I found the set I tried.

Is it cold in Absurdistan, and do you have a very short commute?

Since I spend most of my year riding in the rain, I have a different take on rain gear than many people: It's useless. If it keeps you dry from the outside, you'll sweat like a hog in it after 20 minutes of really cranking. If it allows you to vent enough then you'll just get soaked from the rain.
My suggestion is that rain gear should keep you warm, rather than dry. If you spend any length of time riding in the rain, just expect to get wet and deal with it. Buy gear that will keep you warm if it's cold out.

On that note, I'm a fan of the PI Cyclone gloves. Not water resistant, but I wore them all winter through chilly January rainstorms and never had frozen fingers.

I use these in the winter rain.

Remember, there is no such thing as "waterproof and breathable."
Fabric is either one or the other.

In the summer, I just wear my regular cycling gloves.

I use a pair of $10 neoprene gloves from Walmart that are intended for fishing. They keep my hands warm and rain-free. The downside is that my hands get soaked with sweat and the gloves REEK. It takes about 7 or 8 hours for my hands to stop stinking. I tried washing them last year (the gloves, not my hands) and they took three weeks to dry - talk about waterproof.
