Alpinestars Yukon
 
Only had them a month but they are 100% waterproof, comfortable and dry quickly on the outside after drenching.
Armour is good and feel is not bad for a winter glove. Ok down to 6C or so without having to ignite the grips.

Will update with a vengeance if any negatives! At £70 I expect them to last well.

Waterproof, no doubt.
Still look like new (only comfier).
Not so good at cold, 0C hands cold after 15 mins. Additional heating required.
Would I buy them again? Yes with heated grips. No if I'm riding year round without some form of additional warmth. Then again, I don't think I'd be doing that again anyway!
Pretty faultless in all other regards,

Yeah, I get Reynauds badly in my thumbs so I want a pair of super warm gloves but on a budget. My far too warm for summer gloves were good for 15 mins at 3C last weekend.

Thanks for the tip on those.

Any suggestions?

You'll need heated gloves really or heated grips plus muffs.

I've got some gerbing heated gloves the 12 xrs if I remember correctly and they're brilliant.

Agree.
Heated gloves only way to ensure toasty mitts. I'm only rolling for 30-40 minutes at a time so heated grips just enough. If it were longer I'd definitely go with heated gloves as it then makes the hassle of the wires worthwhile.
