Default waterproof summer gloves?

Can anybody recommend some waterproof summer gloves? I know it sounds like an oxymoron but those of us who live in the UK know that you never trust the three W's! Actually don't wanna sound misogynistic so make that 2 W's!

I've seen some Racer gloves on infinity's website which have had some good write ups but would prefer spending less than a ton if I can...

Racer Multitops every time. Ive sold lots over the years and never had a set returned for any warranty or leakage issues. Expensive but well worth it.

If your a small/medium or 3 XL I can do you a pair for £75 if that helps.

I have a pair of HG Xtrafit (Goretex) To be honest, they are freezing in this weather, so i am hoping that they are a good spring/summer WP glove. They are waterproof...very!

I've got a pair of Alpinestars Tech Road Goretex - not cheap at £99 a pair (they might be less than that now, I got them a year or so ago) and they've yet to leak a drop - and that's been in some serious rainfall too.

Thanks for all the recommendations. Should have also asked in the original post whether the waterproof lining in the gloves you are using affect feel?
