I have a blog update on my favorite gloves for riding in the rain. It's at http://swriding.blogspot.com

Personally, if it's not cold, I won't melt.

the only thing that's worked for me is Aerostich Triple Digit glove covers.
I don't care how many hundreds of dollars you spend on insulated Gore-Tex gloves from BMW, Rev'it, Klim, etc. - they will eventually soak through at some point. Guaranteed. Period.
Wear your favorite gloves year-round with handlebar covers!
You'll be a better rider, too, when you learn how to ride without ever having to look down at the controls on your handlebars.
I couldn't ride year-round in Seattle without handlebar covers. With handlebar covers (aka "HippoHands"), your hands stay warm and dry inside, where the still air allows the heated grips to really work. I don't care how many hundreds of dollars you spend on insulated Gore-Tex gloves from BMW, Rev'it, Klim, etc. - they will eventually soak through at some point. Guaranteed. Period. This never happens with handlebar covers.
My handlebar covers don't fit on my GSA, so when I'm riding the GSA in the rain, I use the BMW summer Gore-Tex gloves. Light weight, no insulation - only a Gore-Tex membrane to keep the wet out for a little while. They were $130, so not as pricey as the $200-$300 you can spend on some Gore-Tex m/c gloves.
The 3 digit covers typically purchased from Aerostich work well to keep water out but are zero protection and way too sweaty in a really hot summer rain.
Are those 3-digits covers supposed to go OVER regular MC gloves? That's how I use mine.
