Wear the glove within the jacket. Then the water will run down the outer glove.

If the cuffs fasten well enough, the wind will stay out.
To do that, you would have to put on your leather gloves, rain mitts, then don your jacket and zip it up and get everything secure with pretty bulky gloves on.
whine :(

These are what I used to wear when I used to ride in the rain.

I do it with my jacket, if it's raining or looking likely.
Jacket on, loosen sleeve opening, gloves on (waterproof) then ensure the gloves are within the sleeves, then tighten the velcro wrist straps. It's not that hard to do.
The gloves do need to be w/proof though.

You can't give the bird with those. How can you express yourself with those camel toe mits?

I recently purchased a pair of olympia airglice II pants and jacket and it's the best I've ever had.

They have them locally, for $300. I may go and try them on. You got wonder why they make these pants with vertical access pockets. If you for get to close the zipper you can easily loose your wallet or...

One of my jackets has side pockets that are angled relative to the bottom of the jacket. I had my digicam in there and forgot to zip up once. It fell out down the road aways, and was run over by a couple of vehicles. One of my mates saw it happen, stopped and picked it up. It still works, and I don't leave that pocket unzipped...as much anymore!

But we all forget to pull up our zippers sometimes. Sometime you can make friends that way 8-)

I tried these on today. They had ones with an insulated liner and the brand new ones that are gortex and not insulated. Much smaller to pack. Quality seemed very good but pricey.
