Rukka Argosaurus, recommended to me by a m/c plod, a couple of years ago. I ride in them in the winter and wet, so comfortable I recently bought a pair of the very similar with no cuff version.

I have the Klim Element Long gloves. They don't have armour on the backs of the fingers like the Rukka gloves, but they have in all the usual impact zones: palm-heel, outside of the wrist and the outside of the little finger, as well as the usual knuckle-protectors. They're Goretex and although I only have them since the start of the year, I've had mine in serious downpours and they kept my hands nice and dry. There's also a short version for people like Giles that don't like gauntlets.
It'll be early summer before the OP gets to the end of this lot.
+1 for the Richa Arctic gloves...

I find it interesting that there are very few manufacturers being listed. Thank you to everyone for adding their opinions.

Its always worth keeping an eye on the for sale items on here
I got a pair of HELD 2 in 1 for £90 I think i paid off here which I have used nearly every day throughout summer and on my trip to Iceland.
having tried this 2 in 1 style an been very impressed with them, I bought a pair of 2 in 1 RUKKA R gloves for winter use off here. again I think I paid £90
both pairs in excellent condition, like new in fact
highly recommend both sets of gloves
the RUKKA's are toasty warm especially with the heated grips on

Muffs and summer gloves!
Fuck me! It took 27 attempts before someone provided the correct answer. Pissing with rain this morning and I was wearing my Weiss summer gloves inside Tucano Urbano's finest muffs with the Tracer's heated grips set to level 1.

Looked at Rukka but bought bmw 2 in 1. Haven't tried proof part yet because it hasn't rained when I've been out. Seems that gsa's scare clouds away.
I can say that they are very cumfy and bedded in really quickly too.
Main thing is to get ones that fit properly, the armour maybe excellent but is bugger all use if they fell off.
My tuppence worth.

Good advice! I think these may win out once I've tried a pair on. Seems many owners rate them highly.

This is my all season glove http://motorbikegloves.org.uk/held-2046-phantom-tex-gloves/, but looks like is no longer made .But the Race Tex looks very similar http://www.fc-moto.de/Held-Race-Tex...dLvBIw02hrXJjSaZ2BcLemBaVK6a2yyh-0aAhXS8P8HAQ
I like the feel it gives and with heated grips its not a problem in - temp. At the time it was the waterproof version of the race glove, had it for 6 years and around 30000 miles it is still like new.

I got hideout leather to make the cuffs a bit longer as the virium could (IMHO) could be longer in the sleeve to fully seal against the wet stuff.Plus 1 for the Virium
