I went for a pair of these in the end. Not Gore Tex but I'll save €50 towards towards a new Schuberth S2.

Got them today..........they fit!!!!!
Very well put together glove, I'm very impressed for €85 delivered. The Drystar membrane is bonded using McFit system which is the same way the Gore Tex X-Trafit works. Probably won't be as breathable as Gore Tex but I couldn't get a GTX glove to fit my very wide hand and I believe the Drystar membrane is one of the better "own brand" attempts.

I use Rukka Viriums
Lovely looking glove but a little too much of a cuff for my quirky taste. I have chunky forearms (too many hours spent lifting weights in my youth) and my jacket sleeves are quite "fitted" so I'm limited with the size of the glove cuff.

I agree with Jay about using handlebar mitts. Just about to refit mine on to the GS as the temperatures are dropping.
Was using them last January when it was around 4C and didn't even need the heated grips on, even with summer gloves.
Wind chill is a big factor.
Mine cost a tenner on eBay last year and worked fine. Might splash out for a pair of Tocanos this year, though.
Yes, they look a bit naff but makes all the difference to riding comfort in the winter.
Besides, you'll only meet other BMW's on the road from now on.
