I have a pair of BMW pro2 winter gloves, or something like that - they have the foil that takes the heat around your hands. Lovely and warm, but not waterproof (might try that spray Oblertone was on about). As they are a gauntlett style with a drawstring cuff, they are worn outside the jacket and I think despite the best efforts of the string, water seeps down your arm and into the gloves, certainly I get very soggy fingers.
I had a pair of Weisse Outlast gauntletts a few years ago, they were superb. Totally waterproof, with an inner lining cuff that went inside the jacket cuff, then the outer over the top - so you had a three-way fold at the cuff which water never got through. I burned a hole in the fingers though, on the exhaust trying to fiddle with the suspension knob thingy.... they don't make them anymore or I would have bought another pair in a heartbeat. What is out there please that will do the job for me? I can't put the Turcano muffs on the X Country, they won't fit, so plastic guards and warm gloves are my only option, unless I get Barkbuster muffs, which is another option, I suppose. On the 1150 I have muffs, so am OK with that one, but on the wet, slippery roads and in snow I would rather not be trying to prevent 1/2 tonne of motorbike from sliding around - the X Country is so nimble and light I think I can manage it much better. I don't have heated grips on it either... so warm and bone dry gloves needed!

That said, I shall still have a look around ot see what would fit. The Barkbuster ones are fairly firm, rather than just soft pouches.
