Hi all,

I'm looking for a decent pair of waterproof summer gloves that don't cost the earth?

Any recommendations..

Alpinestars Crosser Drystar

Short cuff
Laminated membrane
Very sturdy and well put together for the price.

Look them up.

I love the GS Rallye gloves. Don’t go for a Chinese copy off fleabay, I did and they look the same but definitely of inferior construction and I binned them.
The GS Rallye gloves are light, tough and well ventilated. With the heated grips I use them for 3 seasons. Their only draw back they’re not waterproof, but another waterproof pair of something or a pair of marigolds in the backpack/toolbox would help.
I’m so happy I’m buying my 3rd pair (£80).

There is also the GS Dry glove at £110, which might be perfect so I’m off to my dealer to try them today!
 
Have a look at the Alpinestars Drystar range - I have a pair of their fabric gloves which are excellent. Prices from £30 if you catch an end of line sale to £135 with carbon fibre inserts.

Some examples:

Mine are similar to the first pair linked to and they are my go to glove for wet weather in summer or cool spring mornings like today. They have lasted a very long time.
 
I bought a pair of Richa Hurricane Goretex glives last year. No leaks and comfortable. But do get a little sweaty on very hot days. They don’t have a bulky cuff, so great for under jacket sleeves.

I use them in summer. Almost indestructible. I don’t mind my hands getting wet in summer. JJH
 
I have a pair of BMW Summer Rain Goretex gloves that live in my top box. On the occasions I have needed them they've always been completely waterproof. They also have a very effective squeegee on the left forefinger. They are not at all lined/warm so I also keep a pair of inner gloves in case it gets unexpectedly chilly (as it frequently does when it rains).
 
If it's summer does it matter if your likkle pinkies get wet? For heavens sake, skin is waterproof, it's our very own Gore-Tex layer :D

The reason I prefer summer gloves is down to feel. I wear summer short cuff gloves as far into winter as possible......wet hands in December, not so nice..........so the combination of light short cuff gloves with a membrane can normally get me all the way through the winter.

Thanks for all the recommendations chaps, tried on both e GS dry gloves and the BMW summer pro gloves today. Didn't like the GS dry gloves as they felt a little too like winter gloves so opted for the summer pro's.. As for the recommendations for the Rallye gloves i used to use them until i tried the Klim Dakar Pro's which are my everyday use gloves. For me they are a better fit than the Rallye gloves and my first pair lasted a lot longer than the Rallye gloves i used to own..
