In the never ending quest for the perfect glove for each riding condition, I've owned nearly 20 pairs of gloves in the last 10 years or so. Of those pairs of gloves, none fit me better or are more comfortable than Alpinestars gloves. This summer, I started replacing my other brands with Alpinestars & should have a full year round contingent of their gloves by next spring. I ride year round so I need multiple gloves & jackets to make conditions tolerable.

My year round plan for hand protection
Winter: http://www.alpinestars.com/moto/glov...starglove.html
Spring/Fall: http://www.alpinestars.com/moto/gloves_sp2glove.html
Summer: http://www.alpinestars.com/moto/gloves_smx6glove.html
Wet: http://www.alpinestars.com/moto/glov...starglove.html

So, if you're looking for water proof only, here's the one I would recommend:
http://www.alpinestars.com/moto/glov...starglove.html

I would try Ebay first. I've had good luck buying motorcycle apparel off Ebay. If I don't use Ebay, I have a local dealer that gives a 10% military discount & that's where I get most of my gear. As far as online joints, www.mawonline.com usually has good prices but their service is piss poor at best.

I just bought a pair of these from aerostitch

You might consider these are 3 digit glove covers. If you where armored or winter gloves than you should upsize these by one size. I have not had a chance to try them yet, but I have heard generally good reviews.

Admit I'm a Alpinestars glove fan with SP2's for normal riding and Jet Road Gortex for weather but for Very Hot Days found BMW's Air Flow Gloves best. You just have to cut the BMW Tag off to save embarrisment from your friends. ;-)

Hey if you are interested you can check the rain-off over-gloves at this link:

http://www.digitalprovisions.com/Mer...e=FARKLEMASTER

If you need gloves for the cold and rain (like I do in NYC in the Winter) the the TourMaster Winter Elite Gloves are hard to beat - check the link below

I have the Tourmaster Winter Elite gloves, and they are fantastic. Got them at powersports4less.com. Great for cold midwest riding, or anywhere where it rains!
