Waterproof over gloves
I seem to remember a vender who sold oversized rubber gloves. Anyone point me in that direction? What about nylon over gloves?

Or you can go to any Northern Tools or similar place a get a large pair of rubber gloves (the chemical resistant type, not the medical exam type gloves) that would fit over your riding gloves for less than 5 bucks.
I went all out and bough a pair of Aerostich lobster claws, they have served me well for the past 3-4 years and they are still going strong. The only issue with them is that they get a little slippery when wet. The cheap chemical resistant gloves come with a "sandpaper" finish to them that takes care of the slipperiness.

In a pinch you can buy the "dish" gloves at any grocery store

Another vote for Aerostich lobster claws. They work and you always have them with you. Waterproof

Firstgear gloves

I tried the chem gloves at Harbor Freight, they were to small when trying to put them over my gloves.

+2 on the lobster claws. They have kept my hands warm and dry many times and they do pack small.

Also in a rainy pinch you can get plastic trucker fueling gloves for free at most truck stops by the diesel pumps to keep your hands dry.

I have a pair of XXL extra strong rubber gloves I bought on Ebay for around $4 (£2.50), they are under my seat and work great if I get caught out. Not that it happens often in Scotland as I usually wear winter gloves all year round!
